1/ The contrast between Bushnell's self-immolation and the most famous modern self-immolation (that of Thích Quảng Đức in South Vietnam in 1963) tells you so much about the state and status of young white left-wing men in America today.
2/ When the Buddhist monk Đức famously self-immolated he did so to to protest the violation of the rights of *his* people, the Buddhist majority of South Vietnam, from unjust discrimination and persecution by their government.
3/ By contrast, despite the severe anti-white discrimination in the U.S. Military (discussed in the "military" chapter of my forthcoming book--which a leading analyst called "probably one of the best compilations of the American military’s racist present") Bushnell is not willing to fight for himself or demand that he be treated justly by his own government.
4/ Instead he transfers all of his moral outrage to a conflict thousands of miles away.
He deludes himself in his cowardly refusal to stand up for his own rights, a stand for which he would actually face social disapproval, recasting it as a courageous concern for others.
5/ Bushnell's mentality is an epidemic among the GOP establishment, which is too cowardly to make the politically tough stands required to secure OUR border, but has plenty of money to show their "bravery" by sending billions to foreign nations to secure theirs.
6/ We need to get rid of the GOP's Bushnells, who make moralistic theatrical gestures in support of other nations and domestic political opponents for media applause, and instead support GOP politicians who will unapologetically fight for their own voters.

1/ As I did for Iowa, I wanted to do a quick NH vote analysis.
Bottom Line: As the New York Times data reporter @Nate_Cohn wrote:
"New Hampshire was just about the ideal state for Nikki Haley. It doesn’t get better from here."
Here's why. . .
2/ First, This is a REPUBLICAN primary, and Trump dominated among Republicans winning 74% of their votes, despite Haley's endorsement by the popular NH GOP GOV.
Haley made it "respectable" by racking up large margins among indies and Dems who don't vote in most GOP primaries.
3/ Also, the NH primary electorate is UNUSUALLY secular for a GOP primary.
White Evangelicals made up just 19% of GOP primary voters. Trump won these voters 70-26.
By contrast 72% of South Carolina GOP primary voters (the next state) are white evangelicals.
2/ Quiet Quitting as a trend emerged during COVID.
Simply put, if people perceive their jobs to have no value and meaning, they do no more than absolutely necessary.
During COVID, remote work made this easier to do for many workers.
3/ This is a consequence of the trends I write about in my forthcoming book, The Unprotected Class, on the rise of anti-white racism in American culture and how anti-white discrimination has become a factor in almost every area of American public life.
2/ "In a country where being racist is the ultimate sin, how has our ruling class gotten away with attacking the majority of Americans on the basis of their race? The answer is scary, and this outstanding book explains."
-- Tucker Carlson
3/ "There are few greater taboos in public discourse than using the word “white” non-pejoratively. Jeremy Carl explains this taboo--and breaks it, in the hope of saving the U.S. from a future of ever-worsening race relations"

1/ Some were surprised yesterday that an African American Judge, Rossie Alston Jr. was the person to temporarily save the Confederate Memorial, dedicated to reconciliation between North and South, in Arlington National Cemetery.
But they shouldn't be.
A 🧵:
2/ Frederick Douglass was one of the great Americans of the 19th century. An escaped slave, his writing and oratory made him one of the pre-eminent figures of the abolitionist movement, an international celebrity, and probably the most prominent African American of his time.
3/ At the dedication of the Emancipation Statue featuring Lincoln in 1876, Douglass endorsed the prudential politics that caused Lincoln to put the preservation of the Union, before the slavery issue.
In doing so, he showed both his and Lincoln's statesmanship.
