This monologue about the “radical” and “racist”—indeed, “eugenicist”—Dems comes in the wake of the Biden admin’s mass deportation of Haitians, Psaki’s statements about title 42, and more. IOW, it’s misdirection and totally disconnected from reality.
The immigration debate is pretty meaningless at this point, in that even the most dramatic restriction efforts would not magically restore 1950s White America or whatever Tucker (secretly) and others (not so secretly) want.
The rhetoric is straight out of the past 25 years of paleo-conservatism, the Alt-Right, RW Twitter, etc. Many might see this as "influence." The truth is, it's hallow—trotted out well after these demographic realities are established, and deployed by race-baiting Fox hucksters.

I published this at Radix in 2012, sparked by National Review's firing of John Derbyshire. All of the main points remain valid. I'm sorry, but if you can't see through conservative race-baiting, then I can't really help you.
In this way, Reeve hints at a basic asymmetry between the American Left and Right—with both, the constituents are to the right of the leadership.
The Left gains support from the public by appearing normal: they care about the trees and the children and are trying to create jobs with benefits and pensions.
In the Spring and Summer of civilizations, elites wear their elitism on the sleeves—announcing their status and taking responsibility. Winter brings an "Anti-Elite" to the fore, which evades and masks its status, indulges in self-loathing, and is captured by a death drive.
Was anyone at the #MetGala offended or outraged by this dress? Fearful that the masses are preparing an uprising? My guess is that many extremely wealthy people gave AOC compliments, high-fives, or even the "clinched fist" salute.
Calling the Met Gala attendees "limousine liberals" or "gauche caviar" misses the point—for they are not deluded, nor do they conceal themselves, for everyone sees through the charade. They are self-aware of the emptiness and nostalgia at the heart of slogans like "tax the rich."
Joe Biden is facing the most difficult test of his life. Already, he was subjected to the ire of most of the media and the entire military establishment for sticking to his guns and proceeding with the necessary withdrawal from Afghanistan. #Kabul_Airport
After today's depraved attack—killing at least 60, maybe more—Biden will face tremendous pressure to keep a large presence in Afghanistan, maybe even renew the Forever War and pursue regime change!
The MAGA whackjobs are emboldened by this attack and will pursue impeachment—which might actually get traction this time. The move would put Kamala Harris in office, of course, but it would warn any president off taking action against Washington's endless military campaigns.
He claims that I'm happy that Biden will be bringing in Afghan refugees, as this will serve my Al-Sharpton-esque race grifting. I've specifically addressed this issue. Moreover, it's the typical GOP/Trump shills—like Styxx—who are doing this—not me.
He then goes on to say that Trump should be given credit, not Biden. I did give Trump credit for setting the ball in motion. It was ultimately Biden who followed through. Whether Trump would have followed through is hypothetical, and "iffy" at best.
One thing I’ve noticed listening to some anti-vaxxers is that they’ll often talk about fertility concerns, sometimes going as far as claiming that the vaxxed are infertile or that being around vaccinated people can affect your mensuration cycle, etc.
To put my Freudian hat on: I think these false and bizarre claims are ways of confronting—and deflecting—a more general fertility angst. These claims might derive from a woman’s personal concerns over her biological clock, or worries about her children.
The American White population is not just growing at a slower pace than other races—it is in outright decline. I don’t think most anti-vaxxers know about this exact statistic, but I do think they feel it.
“Hungary” is beginning to function for American conservatives like “Sweden” does for leftists: it’s their “we just wanna be like” country. Both are fantasies of decline and shirking responsibilities; both are based on willful misunderstanding of the nature of the United States.
For decades, Bernie-style leftists made recourse to “we just want to be like Sweden” when accused of being “socialists.” They don’t want, they say, the iron misery of the Soviet Union, not to mention North Korea. They only want welfare, high taxes, and social cohesion.
Hungary, in turn, appears “fascist” only to the most shrill neoconservative journalists. It’s a quite, conservative country, where racial tension is absent, the gay agenda is stalled and decades behind the West, and the public buildings are grand.
