* Matthew Yglesias: “The case for Ellison –> A renewed left-populism is necessary but can only work if it’s led by people of color.”
* Looks like the next DNC head will be a black left wing Muslim. Really.
Ellison is also anti Israel, and rejected a Catholic upbringing including Catholic schools. He wrote pro Nation of Islam articles. Just what the Dems need as their front man!
* Keith Ellison is a black Muslim so a lot of people here will think “diversity hire”. But he is also a Midwestern economic populist. He said that Trump could win the nomination back in the summer of 2015 and was laughed at.
So, he’s not one of those clueless limousine liberals Hillary surrounded herself with. Underestimating him could be as stupid as underestimating a certain businessman and reality star. If he’s the head of the DNC in the next election then he will make sure that the Democratic candidate does not repeat the mistakes Hillary made.
* A whopping 81 percent of White Evangelicals voted for Donald J. Trump.
God bless the White Evangelicals. They are the only White group who votes in a monolithic bloc that almost rivals with Blacks with their 88 percent support for Crooked Hillary.
White Evangelicals are the Right Wing version of Blacks when it comes to monolithic party loyalty.
White Evangelicals have more reason to be suspicious of the political Left than any other demographic group in America because they are hated by the political Left for both their faith/religion and their skin color.
* To score moral credit and to shame the other side, Trump should hold a gala for all the Trump Martyrs who were beaten, attacked, abused, pelted, belted, and bloodied. They were victims of the worst Political Hate Crime in a long time. They had to go up against the progots and maggots of Bull Connors style brutality. But these people didn’t buckle and showed real guts in their support of him… unlike the cucks who always got on their knees and kissed the asses of the likes of Sharpton and Tim Wise and others.
At this gala, videos should be played of people knocked down, hit with rocks and eggs, pulled out of cars, etc.
Trump needs to show that the other side owns thuggery. Smugs and Thugs.
Or he should at least invite the Trump Martyrs to the Inauguration and give them priority seating.
Someone should make a compilation video of all the anti-Trump violence and thug rhetoric and make it an immortal part of youtube lore.
In some parts of US, it took real courage to support Trump. People had to brave not only verbal abuse but physical attack and even professional destruction.
* The turnover of the D party to blacks/violent Muslims reminds me of how Tammany Hall was turned over to blacks in the end—and thus ceased to exist.
* Some people comment about how close the race was, but just think… Trump got the worst media coverage ever and was outspent by gazillions. Hillary raised over a billion and threw everything at him.
The fact that he won means that, had the race been covered fairly, he would have won much bigger.
Imagine if someone had to start the race half field behind and just barely won.
We have to take into account the rigging that the winner had to overcome.
So, this is a big big win. Hillary had wind on her back whereas Trump was running against the wind.
It is an invisible landslide.
* Trump ran against both parties and won.
Democratic Party spent more money than ever, with all the help of media and institutions.
Many in GOP went over to Hillary camp, sabotaged Trump, released damning videos(pu**ygate), or sat on the sidelines or the on the fence.
He still won.
So, this is a big big win considering the odds he had to overcome.
Hopefully, nevertrumpers will come home in 2020, and cucks will grow some balls by then as the neocons won’t be manipulating them to much.
Trumpean should become an adjective. Herculean Political Will and Feat.
* Jews are the biggest Kool-Aide drinkers, it has to do with class more than anything else. Those who are lower class and removed from aping WASP pretentions, like the Ultra Orthodox, vote Republican regularly. But Orthodox don’t need to keep up appearances at the Club, or on Wall Street, etc.
Lennonism also appeals to secular utopianists. Aka secular Jews, its a disease of the higher IQ.
* The Tammany Hall analogy is very apt. Black voters are the kingmakers of the Dem nomination process. They choose the nominee. Any black candidate in the Dem primary has a huge, built-in advantage. Problem is, the eminently electable Obama was a one off. I don’t see anyone remotely comparable in the Dem ranks. Keith Ellison is a Muslim and unelectable. Their only strong candidate isMichelle, but she hates politics and won’t run. And if the nominee is not black, as in this year, black voters won’t turn out in the general. I can’t see them turning out for someone like Elizabeth Warren any more than they did for Hillary. So it’s either an unelectable black nominee or reduced black turnout for the Dems. It was the lower black turnout in Philly, Detroit and Milwaukee that killed Hillary’s.
* Populism vs. Elitism. The brass support gun control, because the elite does, and that’s who butters the brass’ bread. The rank-and-file oppose it, because their interests are more aligned with the people and sucking up to the elite isn’t on their radar.
Sort of like Jews and the Catholic church. Generally speaking, the Catholic brass were friendly with the Jews, because money and power. The rank-and-file, on the other hand, were hostile, because exploitation of the people. Martin Luther moved between both camps. He started in the cloisters, and Jew-friendly. Then he got outdoors and started working with the people, saw their reality, and turned against the Jews.
