The entirely authentic and on the level Republican Party primary is about to kick off for real next week with the Iowa Caucus. The totally legitimate and sincere debates came to an end with Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley declared the finalists. They booted Chris Christie and Vivek Ramaswamy from the debates because no one cared about Christie and Ramaswamy was too normal. Despite both having no chance to win next week, the party had DeSantis and Haley debate last night.
Of course, none of this is on the level. The reason there are debates at all is everyone knows the party will remove Trump from the ballot if the court does not go along with the crackpot scheme to use the 14th amendment. Regime media is holding these debates thinking they will get to pick the replacement. They are probably right about that, given the ridiculousness of the Republican Party. Even the candidates admit they are running to be the party’s regime approved booby prize.
Politics has always been theater, but now it is the theater of the absurd where everyone pretends that this is all on the level, while knowing that it is not on the level and that everyone in the country knows it is not on the level. The Solzhenitsyn line captures this farce of a primary campaign perfectly. We know that they are lying and they know they are lying. They know that we know they are lying. We also know that they know we know they are lying, but they keep lying.
The only drama at this point is who the Democrats tell the Republicans to pick for their nominee once Trump is booted from the campaign. Haley is the darling of the regime because she is a soulless automaton who will do what she is told. DeSantis has some friends in the regime, but he has two brain cells so there is always the risk he decides to think for himself. The party could always look for someone else, like Glenn Younkin, if they think they need to grease the rubes some more.
What goes unnoticed in all of this is the collapse of the GOP. They handed these fake debates to cranks of lunatics. The big final showdown that is supposed to sell one or the other zombies to the voters was held by a collection of far left nutters on CNN, a network that remains an epithet among Republican voters. The only way it could be more obvious that they are controlled by the other party is if the debate were held in the White House and moderated by Kamala Harris.
The reason the media is pushing Haley so hard is she holds all of the same positions as Joe Biden, except she can string a sentence together and is not drooling oat meal all over herself in public. Haley is running around telling voters that Hillary Clinton is her idol and was her inspiration to run for office. DeSantis is running as George Bush and many members of the media still remember hating George Bush. That and he is a click away from climbing out of a tunnel in Crown Heights.
What we are seeing here is the consolidation of the center that has been the pattern all across Europe for over a decade. Unwilling or unable to address the issues most concerning to voters, the main parties consolidate as a unified front against any opposition to the status quo. Parties that are supposed to be ideologically incompatible suddenly find a way to cooperate. The Republicans and Democrats are now effectively in a coalition government to defend the regime.
The one saving grace is that the regime has proven itself to be increasingly incompetent, so this scheme to rig the 2024 election could end in disaster. Current polling says Trump wins handily in Iowa. The game is to make it look like Haley is viable as an alternative, so if she bombs then that is a problem. On the other hand, DeSantis is as popular as colon cancer in New Hampshire, so in a few weeks the party could be left with two corpses running as the not-Trump option.
That will make picking one of them difficult. Even if they find an alternative, they still face the prospect of a riot at the convention. The people who show up at these things are the committed supporters and they wear red hats these days. Unless the party closes the convention entirely, they could be facing a modern version of the 1968 Democratic convention, which ended up in street battles. A lot of things can wrong when morons are plotting the shenanigans.
Then you have the fact that the universe has a sense of humor. Smart schemers always ask “what happens if the plan fails?” Our ruling schemers never ask this and the universe always throws a wrench in their plans. The brewing disaster that is Project Ukraine is a good example. The schemers all assumed the plan would work and when things went wrong, they were left with nothing. The same thing could happen with their scheme to rig the 2024 presidential election.
In the end, the normal person is left wondering to wonder if it is time to take the old advice from the hippies and turn off, tune out, drop out of the system. If voting is not a complete farce and the regime is committed to rigging the results even if the votes are counted honestly, then what is the point? The right answer may be to deny them the thing they desire most, which is your consent. If you drop out of the system, then they cannot manufacture your consent.
This being the modern age, tuning out is near impossible, so the more likely result is the disconnect between the official truth about our system and the reality of our system grows wider and the people grow angrier. This is the road to ruin where the regime reacts to discontent with shenanigans, which leads to further discontent and then more shenanigans from the regime. Those two zombies on stage last night were just mile markers on the road the national abyss.

Zman 2024. Please get the word out.
Apparently, the last year the Republicans can win an election is 2028. This is due to demographic changes ongoing in the 50 states, a situation embraced by Democrats today but when the immigration laws were reformed in the 1960s Ted Kennedy himself went so far as to say “there will be no change in ethnic composition” of the immigrants. Right. Like a fish out of water, the Republican Party will be forced to embrace the new, colored voters, who are feted daily by the Democrats and even today displayed in all the ads we see in the various media. The… Read more »

So THATS why they haven’t gotten around to locking up Epsteins’ clients.
The two states at the vanguard of post-America are Michigan and Florida. Michigan is the electoral laboratory for Our Democracy, the first state to kick an “insurrectionist” off a ballot, and Florida is where the total destruction of the 1st Amendment is being tested: DeSantis’s Jew stuff, prosecutions of /pol/ anons for obviously un-actionable “in Minecraft”-posting, and now this guy who apparently got fedded into *described a hypothetical type of person*, and for that he’ll go to prison for almost ever.
Michigan is a loss. Florida is a trap.
Who gives a damn anymore? Time for a National Divorce has nearly arrived and we are one financial or political disaster from the events that set the Dissolution of The United States into motion. The Demosheviks will of course start a civil war to prevent this, but this time they will wake up to the fact that many firearms manufacturers are getting the hell out of Communist New England and going to The South, so they will have a real munitions supply problem. At this point in time, get to know who your neighbors are, and arm to the teeth.… Read more »
The fact that Nikki Haley’s campaign is being bankrolled by Reid Hoffman, a liberal Democrat, tells you everything you need to know about Haley.

Thank God. Please let it drop to zero.
The Army saw a 6% decline in white recruits from 2022 to 2023
https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/4209514/posts
6%?!? A lousy 6% gets their panties in a bunch? Yeesh.
Saw one report having it at 50% over the last five years, so that sounds better so that would make it 10% p.a. for the period. Wish it was more.
We had dinner last night with some normie friends. They are talking about not voting. They admit they find it difficult to even think that but even so are seriously considering it.
This is why I’ve had some money down in Vegas for a while now on the prop bet “There shall be Australia-style mandatory voting in the US before 2030.” It’s increasingly obvious that The Regime regards “American” elections the same way Kim Jong-un regards elections in North Korea: As a wonderful opportunity for The Workers to demonstrate how much they love their rulers. Chomo Joe vs. War Karen will be an easy victory for Chomo, even without the Fortification…. but he’ll “win” on about 20% voter turnout. Which is unacceptable. Don’t you love us, Citizen? You will be made to.
I kinda always somehow pictured I would end up in prison, but I’ve never been real clear on why. Maybe refusing to vote will be the reason. For a minute there I thought it might be for refusing the jab or refusing to wear a mask.
I think we are a lot closer to a War Karen presidency than you do. The left’s base is united against Trump, not united for Biden.
Nah, they will just lie about the voter turnout.
I think a lot of U.S. policy climbs out of those Crown Heights tunnels.
“The only way it could be more obvious that they are controlled by the other party is if the debate were held in the White House and moderated by Kamala Harris.”
The scary thing is you just might beat the Babylon Bee on this, Z, presenting an impossibility as satire and a short time later the impossibility is real news.
Really these days I’m more interested in mass meme formation such as two recent really memorable examples: Deobras the Flying Felon (how many joggers will learn to fly?) and the ultra-Orthodox crawling out of sidewalk grates and running off like Yeshiva students. That’s much more fulfilling than wondering about who’s on a ballot form.
“If voting is not a complete farce and the regime is committed to rigging the results even if the votes are counted honestly, then what is the point?” Your point is well made. I believe, given what I perceive, that there *are* still enough Joe Normies out there who believe in the system to make the pretense of democratic rule, i.e., election process, still worth the effort. That number is however shrinking election cycle to election cycle, and one day as they say, “the juice will no longer be worth the squeeze”. No longer a voter, I sit back and… Read more »
I’m afraid not..The whole Constitutional basis of Government has been destroyed, and we have entered the terminal period of all out looting…This whole Rube Goldberg contraption that we call government has to go, and be replaced from the ground up…Most of us will not live to see that denouement….
You assume I might be hinting at repairing this current governmental concept. That’s doubtful and more to the point, I’m not that smart. 🙁 Anyway, whatever happens, we will never be without a ruling clique—however short a duration that may prove.
I have come to believe a better name for Joe Normie is Joe Retard. Case in point, highly educated acquaintance – BIG vax jab guy. After announcing he, his wife and kid had ‘Covid’ for the umpteenth time, does not blink an eye when I say, “gah-lee, sure lucky you got those twenty jabs, eh?” To which this highly educated retard replies, without recognition, not even a flicker, “surely sure, it could have been worse.” This particular retard is in the “information” business for what it is worth. Sometime I will have to query him on what information he is… Read more »

Do not argue with a fool. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with his vast experience.
Tired Citizen: Peruse any comment thread anywhere on the latest DEI outrage. Lots of people complaining – but the basis of their complaint is that such a policy is “divisive” and we should instead focus on what “unites” us, because we are all “equal.”
Idiots, top to bottom. False reality built on the unnatural and false premise of egalitarianism. Whole issue of what constitutes a national identity is based on lies.
Yes, even knowing how destructive it will be for all sides, and how perilous, there is no fixing this short of war and/or dissolution.
From your mouth to God’s ears.
Those are the folks who will happily turn out for War Karen in November. There’s no shortage of them, yet. In 20 years there will be.
Stay home. Circle the wagons. Assess your neighbors and friends, and begin to circle the wagons with them. Too late for “of this world.” Just a matter of degree. Ed Dutton has waved his arms in his Autistic way pondering that we may take it as far down as the great Bronze Age collapse. Whatever. Too late to waste time on this of the world gas lighting.

Speaking of refusing to participate and dropping out: Monday is Martin Luther King Day, a festival of anti-white hatred. I intend to celebrate the day like I have the last four or five years; I pay homage to black culture by calling in sick.
All white folks should boycott working on Hate Whitey Day and see how things go.
I work in a uni. We get the day off, of course.
Humm, how backward. At my university, the County simply set up a voting station in the middle of campus. 😉
I already notified my department that I won’t be here on Monday.
I’m trying to work up the nerve to tell acquaintances that I don’t celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day, using the same matter of fact tone of voice used when they tell me they don’t celebrate Columbus Day.
I’ll be starting a burn pile that I hope is observable from orbit.
(Crosses optional)
Bartleby: Ooh, excellent idea – except we are expecting snow on Sunday and temps in the teens on Monday, so I don’t think I’m going out to burn trash in memory of trash that day.
Around my neck of the woods here in the Mid-Ohio Valley, we call MLK Day by another name. We call it 30-06 Springfield Day!
Not me, of course, but I’ve heard others refer to it as “Our Dream Came True Day”.
I think I’ll celebrate by going to 7-11 and stealing a 6 pack of malt liquor and maybe one of those little fake flowers in a glass tube that people supposedly use as crack pipes.
Typically, people who don’t vote just don’t care. They have a deep-rooted understanding that it’s meaningless. Not voting however among the politically conscious is in a different category. To not vote and to care is somewhat trying. I did it once with Mittens/Ryan on the ballot. That is to say, I didn’t vote but I cared that I didn’t have anyone to vote for. To not vote because you understand that it really is meaningless takes a revolution in thought about the “democratic” process. Old habits die hard but I think I’m nearly there.
Zman: ” If voting is not a complete farce and the regime is committed to rigging the results even if the votes are counted honestly..” That must describe all presidential elections from 1992 to 2016. The choices offered were awful because the regime rigged the primaries to give us Bush, Clinton, Dole, Clinton, Bush, Gore, Bush, Horseface, Obama, McCain, Obama, Romney, Clinton… What a rogues gallery! In 2016 the regime slipped and the voters got their choice on the Republican ballot. So in 2020 the gloves came off and the votes were just ignored. Maybe it’s better that way –… Read more »

The only way to fight this CRAZINESS is to stay home on election day and punish the faux Republican Party with indifference and electoral defeat.

I have become a believer in “acceleration”. The die is cast irrevocably, so why delay the response to the poison?
Since I’m still registered to vote and my country never cleans up its voter rolls, my only question for this election is 1). Do I throw the ballot in the garbage? 2). Do I return it as a blank ballot? 3). Do I send the form to remove myself from the voter rolls? Each one of these choices is as meaningless as pissing into the Ocean, so I’m leaning garbage. Sending the form to remove myself from the rolls would give me a 20 second high. Probably not worth it.
My instinct is that you attempt to remove yourself from the rolls but make it as time consuming as possible for the people involved. Sand in the gears.
JR Wirth: Remove yourself from the rolls. Eventually it will cut way down on the junk mail you receive. Another reason I called and had my name removed (was quite a simple process in Texas at least) was to avoid getting called for jury duty. Not a guarantee, of course, but they primarily use voter rolls for that. After being forced to waste a month on a jury, I never want anything to do with what passes for the US legal system again. Fwiw, both my husband and I declined to register to vote when we got our new drivers’… Read more »
“Not sure what list she found our name on…”
In our state, I can say with almost certainty it would be the Department of Motor Vehicles, either DLs or vehicle titles/registrations. Could have been utilities or damn near anyone else for that matter, including the company that handled your closing. Unless in real life you adopted an alias, it would be trivial to link a new address to your old, and all that entails. And even with an alias, unless you also changed all your habits, your patterns betray you.
After being forced to waste a month on a jury
—
Mark Steyn remarked on that once (or, probably way more than once, I just don’t read him very often), something about lawyers getting paid the word or something along those lines.
When you have to give your name and address to anybody, change the spelling slightly for each recipient of your postal info.
If your name is Smith, give it to organization A as “Smith.” To Org B, spell it “Smits.” To the next, spell it “Smyth.” To the next, spell it “Smythe.” And keep a little record of each spelling and to whom you gave each spelling.
Then you will see who has sold your name and address, and you can take it from there.
It works.
I’ve gotten two or three texts from War Karen. I’m guessing some sort of mass text program. I opted out of it on the first one and gave rude replies on all of them. I’m sure it’s from a no reply number but it made me feel better.
I’ve not contributed to a candidate and subscribe to nothing that the repubs would buy there mailing list. It bothers me that a street-shitter like her has access to my number.
Kudos for using that war pig’s real name.
Did her personal letter to you start with “Dear Current Resident”?
Next text I get from Nikki I will reply “Sorry, this is a Nimrata household”
Accept it: you will vote, whether you stay home or disenroll. You just won’t know you voted, comrade, and best not to mention it.
If one wishes to maximize benefit, then reducing effort is the name of the game—toss the ballot out. However, there is some data here that mail in ballots have been duplicated and falsely cast for infrequent voters (voting records for past participation are public record). Therefore, returning a ballot—even if blank—will produce evidence of dual mail in voting and potential fraud. Not that it now matters as the courts do nothing, but behalf one day…
I have to imagine they hang on to returned blank ballots and use them to pad the 4 AM results.
The truth is it doesn’t matter what you do and you’ve already spent too much time thinking about it. The beauty of having a king or a dictator is that they don’t get the peons all excited over things they shouldn’t be thinking about. Would you really give a crap if you lived under a king that protected the border?
I look forward to not voting for Rep. Malliotakis, whose first act as a freshman congressman was to vote to strip Margorie Taylor Greene of committee assignments.
All that’s missing from this primary process is Hunter S. Thompson micro-dosing ketamine and interviewing Nikki Haley live on X.
And unless Kyle Rittenhouse shows up in Milwaukee, there will be no grass-roots riot when the Regime nominates the GOP “candidate” this summer. They may as well bring back the “smoke-filled room” process. At least it had no pretense of democracy.
“ They may as well bring back the “smoke-filled room” process. At least it had no pretense of democracy.”
Interesting thought. I’d forgotten that once upon a time—not so long ago—you had no ability to choose candidates in primaries. The parties gave you a (supposed) choice between two (vetted) candidates.
Wonder how that affected elections and outcomes. Of course, we were a more White ethnic nation then.
this is a random thought but is it possible that DR3 in an ironic way is actually something that might trigger the leftists racism terrain warning system? Like I would go on dailykos and try to figure out what they were thinking. Typically saying black on black crime was not something you could even talk about because by simply arguing about it, you were outing yourself and it was assumed you were engaging in “pre-crime”. Is it possible, DR3 will eventually have that same effect? Someone should do an etymology deep dive on the origins of DR3 and how maybe… Read more »
Libertarian influence. You can nerdily “notice” any numerable thing, but you can never do anything about it.

I’m sure the regime would like a riot at the R convention. Would go a long way in supporting the narrative they are pushing. The odds of this happening without (many) agent provocateurs are zero. We all know republicans and white people don’t riot. But they’ve pulled it off once already (J6).

An attempt to take the wind out of the Orange sails right at the outset (there’s no hope for Iowa, you can’t rig a caucus). Some… Read more »
And there will be no Republican Party after November. The stay-at-homes and malicious burn it all down votes will probably make for Dem supermajorities.
“What goes unnoticed in all of this is the collapse of the GOP.” It is the main event this year. The handful of Republican voters who remain convinced they support a legitimate political party is infinitesimal. You probably notice that fewer and fewer people ask why “their” Congress sold them out. It is, as you point out, very reminiscent of the end stage of the Soviet Union–everything is a lie, and all political activity is based on that knowledge (for the record, I don’t think the batshit Regime now in charge will allow for a resolution as peaceful as the… Read more »
Ranking the performance of the candidates: 1. Nikki Haley: Haley owned the stage. Compare Nikki Haley with other contenders, and she comes across like a class-A national politician. The theories on global warming were deeply, deeply depressing. She tried repeatedly to focus the spotlight on Trump and his presidential failures. She had a few good moments criticizing Trump. Haley cane out as the more principled adult in the room. She seems uncomfortable with the G.O.P. 2. Ron DeSantis: With just two candidates onstage, DeSantis got a lot more time and space in which to let his grating personality shine. A… Read more »
“Nikki Haley: Haley owned the stage…”
Owning the stage is easier when no decent competitors are allowed. Why wasn’t Vivek there? Was Haley tired of the other Indian slapping her around?
“She seems uncomfortable with the G.O.P.”
Nah. She’s only uncomfortable with the GOP voters. They’re so white and icky, especially in Flyover Country.
WTF is with you? You only show up after debated to fluff Nimrata never anywhere else. What’s your deal, are you a paid shill and if so, who pays you? And for that matter, how much?
If the money was right I’d make a fool of myself anomymously on the internet. I suppose I would but I’d probably have a major drinking problem to try and forgot how I was debasing myself.
I’ll say this for Nimrata, she is the most masculine looking person from India I never seen. The men are typically small, frail, and weak looking from the neck down. From the neck up, they almost all look like circus freaks.
Nimrata, on the other hand, has a normal size body and a jaw that would put most boxers to shame.
“I’ve ever seem.”
Not for nothing do they call her Rock-em Sock-em Nimrata back in ol’ Mysore!
“The men are typically small, frail, and weak looking from the neck down.”
Malnutrition from the day they’re born (probably even earlier in the womb). Plus the little they get to eat is carbs — rice, a bit of wheat, lentils. Just about no animal protein.
Arshad Ali: They are also heavily inbred within their jati and caste. Perhaps not as dangerously as Pakistanis and Bangladeshis, but still far, far moreso than Whites.
From what I understand, there is a divide (north/south I think) between the vegetarian and non-vegetarian Indians. Guess which look more feminine.
Nimratta is a Sihk–they tend to be more masculine (and warlike, surprise, surprise) than most other Indians.
The United States is entering the later Soviet Union phase of its existence. Nobody believes in anything, the system is irreparably corrupt, the current balkanization makes the blue/gray divide look like a suburban neighbor dispute, and the economic madness of the last 50 years is circling like a vulture. Baring a black swan event (highly likely I think) we could be in for a gradual slow decline similar to the Soviets. Like them we won’t succumb to external threats, but from a rot within. Corruption, degeneracy, and losing our cultural identity. Since Americans like to do everything fast, it may… Read more »
Elections may still be meaningful at the city council, school board, county board of supervisors, or state legislator level. At the national level, participation is largely meaningless. My personal hope is that Trump is not the Republican Party nominee, that MAGA voters refuse to vote for the nominee and Biden wins re-election in a 45 to 48 state blowout. The Republican Party implodes and finally goes the way of the Whig Party in the 1850s. (Unfortunately the end of the Whig Party was part of the events that led to the outbreak of the Civil War in 1861.) I found… Read more »

Will the regime be able to mask or spin 20% voter turnout? That’s gonna be tough.
Remember the time the Republican party, after losing the Presidency under rather suspicious “stop the counting!” in 4-5 crucial states at midnight which continued unsupervised and all broke D…..and the Republican party vowed “never again?” How they cleaned up voter rolls? How the pushed hard for voter ID? How they went after “double voters” with the full force of the law? Then went on a 4 year tear registering likely R voters? How they highly restricted mail in votes (fraud if ever there was any)? I don’t either. Team R is the fall guy. They know it. They act like… Read more »
“If you drop out of the system, then they cannot manufacture your consent.”
If only that were true. Dominion (again, they are not hiding anything) Voting will say Hairgel or Biden’s corpse received 80 gorillion votes and golly, the evil R received 65 million. Democracy wins. Vote harder in 2 / 4 / 16 years.
Trump’s election was the first case where the citizen’s turned voting into a mockery, electing the most obnoxious guy they could find to give the middle finger to Washington D.C. I say that as a good thing.
Trump being on the ballot again forces the regime to throw the table and admit elections are useless, basically forcing the regime to agree with voters who mocked it, while simultaneously talking about how sacred it is.
Despite Trump’s obvious flaws, he’s still the best the regime has to offer. Trump may be crass and obnoxious, but he doesn’t hate us. AFAIK, he is not sacrificing children to a volcano god, which is more than the rest of them can say. Every other one of them would gladly have your daughter’s breasts removed and your son’s penis removed.
The Republican Party has been extinct for a long time. I look back on the “presidential” candidates in primaries during my lifetime (McCain? W? Gary Bauer??) and cringe at the thought that we took any of it seriously at the time. Trump gave it the coup de grace in 2016, when he exposed just how deep the phoniness ran, with ALL of 17 primary candidates (advertised as the Best Field Evah!) bought and paid for by the open borders lobby, who were only interested in doing its bidding. Trump did another thing too: he gave the average R voter the… Read more »
I first started paying attention in 1996 as I was about to reach voting age. I looked at who was running in the Republican primary and thought “these are the choices we have?” That reaction has only intensified in the years since then and spreads across all levels of government.
My first vote was for Ross Perot in 1996. Simply because he had such an entertaining speech at my university.
Barnard-
I had exactly the same reaction when I reached voting age in the same era.
Bill Clinton was highly vulnerable in 1996 and who did the Republicans run against him, Bob Dole, an establishment geezer with personality of a dish rag.
That sounds like 2012. It’s almost like a pattern
Yeah, but he had a very exciting name.
Here in Branch Covidia (a portion of a state that borders New Hampshire) where masking is still required at numerous events and the latest booster at a few of them, there’s a move to keep Trump off the ballot. The initiative, picking up speed, began in my town. The town ‘s permanent residents are 92% white. 30% of the school personnel are persons of color and the town is concerned about the continuing, systemic underrepresentation of persons of color in town employment though that’s slowly being remedied by a 50% of color selectboard. These are decent people except for one… Read more »
I’ve been thinking Covid 2.0 would be a welcome excuse for the parties to cancel their conventions, no red hat dissidents to worry about.
Way ahead of you. I can’t seem to muster any interest at all in the election. I had no idea that there was a debate, and I forgot that Iowa was getting close.
Personally, I rooting for Trump to get thrown off the ballot, which will piss off a lot of people, and then Trump continues to run, which will undermine the legitimacy of the system.
I want the whole thing to be a clown show, top to bottom. The more ridiculous, the better.
To further complicate the Iowa caucuses the upper Midwest is going into a cold snap this weekend. The forecast high in Des Moines on Monday is -2. The northwest corner of the state, where I would expect DeSantis to get his highest levels of support will be even colder. The idiotically run Iowa caucuses require voters to show up in person on Election night and sit and listen while people drone on about why they support each candidate. This could be record low turnout.
Well said good sir. I’m in the exact same boat. I don’t watch or follow any of it. I try to live life in my bubble. My only desire for a Trump miracle win is so everything comes crashing down in reaction to it. The faster these “United States” collapse and dissolve, the better we will be and the better the world will be. The more likely scenario is things will play out like you describe. Will it be enough to convince normie that voting is for retards? I doubt it… My parents are in their late 70s, and my… Read more »
Totally agree. The more flagrant and outrageous the better. The campaign that maybe matters is regime awareness v normalcy bias
What’s amazing to me is how many people think we aren’t living in insane clown world already…
For a lot of whites in nice suburbs, life does seem normal, though it’s getting harder and harder to hide. The tide occasionally washes up on their lawn only to recede, but it’s getting closer.
Lineman: It’s really hard to get people who live in pockets of heritage America to understand how rare they now are and just how bad it is elsewhere. I try to explain to my neighbors, or the helpful pharmacist, or store manager, how different life is where we now live and they listen, and nod, but I can tell they truly cannot conceive of the reality we escaped from – where almost no one was a native English speaker, where the schools were down to 20% White, where getting anything done meant paying a diversity tax in inefficiency, wasted time,… Read more »
If/when Z is wrong about kicking Trump off the ballot, what ought to be the dissident response?
You still don’t vote. A Trump victory will do nothing for us besides make Normies think that the system still works and is fair.
Four more years of Biden will be a disaster. That’s good for us.
Four more years of Biden could get a lot worse for everybody. Hot war with Iran and/or Russia, anyone?
Probably. Good. Wars have a way of accelerating the decline.
A biden win -100 million additional Americans, not just from Latin America , but from Africa.
I understand the desire to deny legitimacy by not voting. The problem is that we are not in a closed system or a closed society. The hundreds of millions of worldwide citizens that want to be here will make the whole thing moot.
I think we’ve already seen about what their max capacity for bringing in illegal aliens is. If they could be bringing in more they would. Between now and the end of a second Biden (or Haley) term I don’t think they can do much better than about 20 million.
I figure that the “encounter” numbers are pretty close to the real number, since IAs have every incentive now to turn themselves in to “border patrol” and no incentive to run.
Jeffrey, how many IA’s do you need to bring in?
As near as I can tell, we are adding perhaps 1% to the national population numbers *per year*! That without legal immigrant numbers which I believe is set at 1.5M!
IA’s and RA’s, when inevitably legalized, can sponsor others under the Family Reunification Act, and of course simply produce new citizens (kids).
All in all, it seems we are screwed as the numbers far exceed growth in native population births. And of course, the Boomers (mostly White) will add negatively until we are gone in the next 20 years.
mikew: Do you honestly think ‘controlling’ the flow, let alone closing the border, will make any difference at this point? For the love of God, consider the numbers at this point. Demographically it doesn’t matter if we get another 15-20 million aliens – we’ve already got at least 80 million here. Hell, we let in over 1.5 milion ‘legally’ every year, and 99.9% of them ar brown, black, or yellow. Their children and grandchildren – regardless of the ‘status’ of their parents – get magic-dirt birthright citizenship. I was a damned consular officer; I understand how the stupid system works… Read more »
I get you on the no-voting part.
But I was wondering what should we *do*? Push a boycott, in line with what Marko is saying? Culture jam? Write in Zman?
Stay home. Pull zero levers.
I hereby state, and mean all that I say, that I never have been and never will be a candidate for President; that if nominated by either party, I should peremptorily decline; and even if unanimously elected I should decline to serve.
If you could wood chipper.those most in need of that?? Still no??
We’re past the point where a grounded dictator is preferable to what’s happening now
Your modesty proves how worthy you truly are! And your declining the job proves a high IQ and a thorough understanding of the situation.
The only thing that would cause me to decline would be self-preservation. With ideas like mine, I would either a) get Trump’d or b) get McKinley’d.
Unless of course Tucker is right and I get to use advanced alien technology to protect myself and inflict harm on the regime.
Considering the COINTELPRO practiced against our politicians, which was much in evidence way back when I walked the hallowed halls, that is the only sane option for a dissident. Most pols will easily succumb to the regular moral suasion, bribery and blackmail, but those who won’t (or can’t) might as well check themselves into a Soviet psychiatric ward.
We ought to encourage a boycott

Z-man: “I’d never join a club that would have me as a member.” 😉
OK I’m convinced. Z for President.
Ok Z… How about a cabinet appointment? Yay or nay?
If we had the courage I would say a White Strike would be the most effective way to show our disgust and disdain for the system…
You’re right. And we must also build communities for mutual support. This can be as informal as groups of homesteaders or cooperative homeschoolers, or as formal as the purchase of one of the many abandoned churches in a small town and creating our own Oranias (existing residents would be more accepting of us than a group of Somalis, and the religious angle may provide some right of association). Grittier dissidents can set up well-fortified businesses in urban areas if necessary (their absence from online BIPOC registries could become a precondition for our custom).
Yep Tribe Up or Die Brother…
For years I’ve been advocating a single-weekend boycott of all spectator sports by white working-class men. Of course, they must publicly admit that this boycott is on behalf of the white working-class.
Acceleration baby. Don’t vote, and the only engagement you should have is with normies or regime puppets on Twitter. My hope is that voter turnout is low on the Right, and that Democrats sweep offices. Then the Dems think that they have a great mandate, and the GOP is left wondering why it exists. The GAE crumbles and more and more normal people start seeing what we dissidents see.
Maybe counter-intuitive, maybe not. A demise of the GOP will lead to a quicker demise of the Dems because the only thing holding them together is opposition to the GOP. Without it, the Dems scatter to the winds like a broken centrifuge.
You vote for Trump, slam Congressman’s phone lines with demands for mass deportation and an iron curtain on the border. Pray that he does the mass deportations.
Otherwise, sit it out and run for office locally or support dissidents at the local level.
“The right answer may be to deny them the thing they desire most, which is your consent.” Ain’t no “may be” about it — it is the absolute right answer, the only option a reasonable man has. I haven’t voted since the Republican presidential primary of 2008. I harbor no illusions that my nonparticipation has any more impact on the machinations of our rulers than my participation would. However, at least I know I’m not a sap. It’s psychologically advantageous, you see. I watch the rest of this species and wonder how they can sustain their exceedingly naive delusions. As… Read more »
Desiring our consent might have been something they wanted 32 years ago, but do you really think they still care about that today? Who needs consent when you have force???
What follows is possibly equal measures of hopium and copium. Our esteemed blog host is entirely correct when he says it’s all kabuki theatre…it is, for now at least. No one is more shocked than I am about this either…but us Canadians may be ahead of you Yanks on this stalemate with Clown World.

Correct! The ones from the southern part are to be referred to as “Yanqui”, right?

We prefer “Gringo.”
I’m curious to see what really happens if and when Trump is ACTUALLY removed from the ballot via whatever BS excuse they come up with. So far it’s been a lot of talk and court filings here and there, but mostly a tempest in a teapot as far as I can see. If he blows out Iowa and some of the early primaries, will the coalition government simply produce the big middle finger? I have to believe they’re at least somewhat wary of that strategy, but perhaps like your average stupid jogger, their hubris overwhelms reality and logic. If no… Read more »
Outside of assassination, the window to take Trump out is closed. There needed to be FAR more momentum in the court cases and ballot removal and they haven’t delivered. The zombies have to have their debate simply because that’s what you do and to not have them would basically concede Trump is the nominee. A bold party would just make Trump the candidate and dare D.C. to stop them, but, like Z says, they are completely part of the regime. If they can’t remove Trump, leadership will subtly try to sabotage him and fail, because they’re losers and losing is… Read more »
> Outside of assassination, the window to take Trump out is closed.
Completely agree. We are days away from the first delegates being selected. The time to disqualify Trump was a year or more ago.
As I see it, the regime only has 3 options left to stop Trump:
1. They kill him
2. SCOTUS rules Trump ineligible
3. They fortify the election in November so hard Pedo Peter gets over 100 million “votes”.
Of those 3 options, I think #3 is the most likely one.
Remember, this is the first regime in history to master afrochemistry. There is no saying what they might try. It is not like predicting what a psychotic might do next, it IS predicting what psychotics might do next
Trump won’t be assassinated. Can you imagine the online takes? It’ll be 9/11 Trutherism + the Las Vegas shooting + Epstein all rolled into one!
I fear not much happening immediately. But more might start to tune out of the regime. The real effect might not be immediate
Beautifully written essay and couldn’t agree more. Just wanted to add an aside to this:
“If you drop out of the system, then they cannot manufacture your consent.”
They can manufacture consent for those who’ve dropped out. They can’t for those who actively resist and don’t play by the rules of a rigged game. Gandhi’s non-violent protests had zero impact. What made a difference was firebrands like Subash Chandra Bose. White dissidents can learn from the liberation struggles of other oppressed people.
Always refreshing to read your counter-factual takes.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: The “buzz” around Nikki Haley reminds me of the gal that wants to find a boyfriend. The GOP is her cute friend that wants to fix her up with you who keeps telling you how funny and smart and nice she is. You wonder “So, if she’s all that, why doesn’t she have a boyfriend?”
Then you meet her.
And then you understand.
Especially once you find out what her REAL name is. Yikes, run for your life, son!!
Regarding tuning and dropping out I wonder if the decline in male enrollment in college admissions will show at the voting booth also. A rule by diverse harpies may take hold more often to the point of ludicrous outcomes as it has recently in St. Paul.
Of course the first piece of business for the good people of St. Paul is voting their feelings on the Gaza/Israel conflict.
Not voting, while it makes sense from a practical perspective, is not going to have as much impact as other forms of dropping out.
No. 1 – dropping out of the economy (that one really hurts them) – cut your spending, in particular those unnecessary items tied to regime psychophants
No.2 – for those eligible, eschew military service (that seems to be working – at least they are noticing).
No. 3 – to the extent you can get away with it, give 50% effort for anything regime related. Unproductivity is our greatest weapon.
Genuinely curious here: Under what rationale was King Cobra not part of the debate? DId they exclude him, or did he choose not to participate?
Christie too, I mean yeah I’m not a fan but if I was forced at gunpoint to choose between the four…
I had no idea, until reading this essay, that King Cobra was excluded. He’s definitely getting the Tulsi treatment.
It’s kind of pathetic seeing RFK Jr and King Cobra keeping at it, though. They have literally no chance. I admire their spirit, but no one’s going to take over the system by debating or speechifying or viral video-making. No matter how based they are. They should be forming a COMMENT REMOVED BY WORDPRESS DEMOCRACY FORTIFYING SOFTWARE BOT COPYRIGHT 2024 RAJESH BHATTCHARJEE.

According to the New Hampshire AG, telling voters that voting is meaningless is now a crime.

You will vote. You will vote for who we tell you. And if you somehow evade voting, we will vote in your behalf.

I’m quite sure after having left Silly-nois nearly seven years ago I am now voting Democratic in either Du Page or Will County elections. 😉
“I am now voting Democratic in either Du Page or Will County elections.”
Either? I fear you’re not giving them enough credit. More likely, you’re voting Democratic in both…and will continue to do so long after you’re dead.
Sadly I’m sure my late father, gone from us these many decades, has been voting Democratic from his Cook County gravesite against his expressed will while alive.
As have the rest of my family in the same cemetery. 😒
When my mother died, we heard from social security within 48 hours and from there every agency was notified and yet she still got called for jury duty last month. And that appears to be the norm you have to go take them off yourself.
Where I live you can check online if you’re registered, which party’s primary you can vote in, and whether you voted in the last few elections. The government exposed this data to facilitate individually targeted “your neighbors know you don’t vote (or who you vote for—so maybe you better not)” mail and text-message campaigns by the local Democrats.
I’ve never even considered voting, but officially I’m one of the Democrats’ most reliable supporters. Maybe it’ll get me taken off a list.
The regime has still lost the public faith in the institution. If the regime wants to spend whatever time it has left playing make believe with elections like some aging starlet in her darkened mansion trying to apply lipstick with shaky geriatric hands and missing her lips…it’s not like it makes a difference ultimately.
This is why they’ll go to some Brazil/Australian solution where you’ll have to pay a fine if you don’t vote: you’ll eat your week old vegetables and like it prole.
The same people that want to fine you for not voting are the same people who say that it is it much to get an ID or go in person to your local precenct. They say voting is important but they don’t exactly lead by example.
So, two people wrote a letter to the NH Dem Party chair, telling him that the primary on 1/23 will in effect be meaningless, because the Rules and Bylaws Committee of the entire DNC itself has already determined that this vote will not be binding regarding delegates. Any normal adult would conclude that indeed this primary vote means next to nothing if it doesn’t even determine delegates. In comes the NH DoJ, paying some noxious attorney on staff to write a threatening cease and desist letter to these private citizens, accusing them of felony voter suppression. They really don’t want… Read more »
I believe voting is mandatory in Australia, I could be wrong.
Completely at odds with the 1sr Amendment, but who’s gonna say that, SCOTUS? No. Anyway, this is little more than a SLAPP suit (or threat). The little guy has no resources to fight it. The big guy has too much to lose.
