Southern Nationalists Ponder What’s Next
Alt-Right. Alt-Lite. Alt-Cuck.
It seems like everything I write about these days is Alt-something. The New York Times had yet another big article out this morning on Richard Spencer and the Alt-Right. I saw it coming and predicted it would happen in my speech “The Present Moment: Southern Nationalism In The Age of Trump or Clinton.”
It is worth revisiting that article. It is holding up well.
Donald Trump Wins: America Is Taken Back
It is November 9th and Donald Trump has won the presidency.
– In the short term, a shockwave of terror courses through the Illegal-Alien American community. The left-leaning Northeast and West Coast is horrified and alienated from Middle America. Black America is outraged by the election of a candidate who they are convinced is a racist, Alt-Right white supremacist. The Left begins to freakout. For the next four years, we hear that the White House is adorned by a Deplorable-in-Chief backed by Neo-Nazis, Christian zealots, racists, white supremacists, and what have you.
– Mainstream Conservatism is crippled by Donald Trump’s election and loses its traditional power to police the Right. Without Mainstream Conservatism as a false opposition to guard its right flank, any number of “extremist ideas” begin to infiltrate the “mainstream” with Donald Trump’s every utterance.
– In the South, populism and nationalism will have triumphed, and you will see many more people self-identifying as such. These people won’t be ethnonationalists, but they will be much more persuadable than before. We will have more common ground with them and it will be easier to communicate and relate to each other.
– The media will say that the “Alt-Right” has triumphed. The Alt-Right will be framed as the new leftwing boogeyman … the real opposition on the Right. A great, self righteous crusade against Deplorable white supremacists and their white privilege will be begin with Donald Trump as its big fat target. Racial polarization will ensue.
– The Far Right as a whole, the Alt-Right or non-Mainstream Right, whatever you want to call it, will be much more visible than it was in the past. If Donald Trump wins the presidency, he will have won in spite of the reigning taboos, and all the various -isms and -phobias will be weakened by his victory. Undoubtedly, there will be less pressure from above and it will be easier for our sort to organize.
– If Trump wins, you will see key issues shift in our direction – our views will be much closer to the mainstream on immigration, free-trade, energy, political correctness, campaign finance, multiculturalism, refugee resettlement, black crime and a number of other things. Correspondingly, it will be easier to talk about these issues without the fear of punishment or social ostracism. It will be easier for people you know who are sympathetic to us to join and come out of the closet as activists.
– If Trump wins, the election will play out like a bigger version of the BREXIT vote in Europe. It is safe to say that it will galvanize the European nationalist and populist parties.
– If Trump wins, I predict he will follow through on his vow to “knock the crap out of ISIS,” but I can’t say what exactly the outcome will be.
– If Trump wins, it is safe to say there will be no humanitarian interventions in Europe along the lines of Bill Clinton bombing Serbia in the 1990s.
– Since 96 percent of Jewish donors, big donors in 9 out of 10 sectors of the American economy, a unified Wall Street and a nearly united donor class failed to stop Trump, who will have defeated them all with his Twitter account, it is safe to say that money will have much less influence over our politics.
– I’m not sure what will be the fate of the Trump Wall. It would have to go through Congress which in this scenario will likely be under Republican control. I do think there would be a mass exodus of illegal aliens. I do think millions of illegal aliens would be deported and fewer would come because immigration enforcement is largely at the discretion of the president.
– If Trump wins, it is safe to say there won’t be any action on gun control. It would never get through a presidential veto and the NRA is too important of an ally to alienate.
– If Trump wins, he has said he wants a national stop-and-frisk policy, which would set up an explosive confrontation with the radicals in the Black Lives Matter movement.
– A Trump victory would be a huge defeat for the SPLC, the Mainstream Media, and the conservative pundits who have led the charge against him. All three would be delegitimized and would likely to continue to lose legitimacy over the next four years as they amplify their hysterical, hypocritical attacks on the president.
– Given the feelings of Mexicans about The Orange One, I believe there could be a major confrontation with Mexico over the status of the illegal alien population.
– If Trump wins, I am not expecting any major changes to the Supreme Court. He would nominate someone acceptable to the Senate which would likely be controlled by Republicans.
– It is safe to say that a Trump victory will be interpreted by Middle America as the moment they succeeded in “Taking America Back.” By promising the world to his followers, Trump will have raised expectations like never before. They will soon find out that not even Donald Trump can “Make America Great Again.” The disillusionment and radicalization that will follow will be something to behold.
– If Trump wins, you are going to see a lot of talk among liberals about secession. Nothing will come of it, but support for secession is bound to rise no matter who wins.
– If Trump wins, the neocons will have been driven from power. It is a safe bet that our foreign policy will radically change as a result. There will be more realpolitik and much less tension with Russia. There will be no crusades to spread liberal democracy in the Middle East. I expect Trump will get along fine with the world’s dictators.
– If Trump wins, he will be seen as an illegitimate president – a racist elected with less than 50 percent of the vote. The fact that he won less than 50 percent of the vote will be used as a democratic rubber stamp to sanction the sort of chaos we have seen in Milwaukee and Charlotte. The country will inevitably become more polarized.
– If Trump wins, it will be a huge blow to political correctness, and I think you will see a rapid erosion of the dominant taboos. It seems that Trump finds a new way to roil the news cycle every day. There will be so much feigned outrage from the media that outrage itself will be a fatality of a Trump presidency.
– I think it safe to say that we can expect more mini-Trumps like Paul Nehlen to run for Congress. I think these mini-Trumps will have more success in the South. If nothing else happens, I expect our politics will become more colorful.
– If Trump wins, the Trans-Pacific Partnership will be DOA. I’ve read that Trump might even have the power to unilaterally change our trade laws through executive actions under existing federal law.
– Immediately, we know a Trump presidency will have a positive impact on the coal industry and resource extraction industries in general due to an EPA that has been brought under control. Republicans won’t oppose him on this.
– If Trump wins, it will mean that a critical mass of Yankees have come to their senses, or at least decided that economics is temporarily more important to them than haranguing the South about racial issues. It has happened before at the end of Reconstruction. Yankee idealism has waxed and waned through history.
– If Trump wins, I expect he will have to face down some major fights with Paul Ryan in the House and Ted Cruz in the Senate, who will assuredly engage in virtue signaling against him as the champions of “True Conservatism.”
– Just by winning the presidency, we can expect that the American Empire would start to crumble overseas because Trump has made it clear he isn’t interested in preserving it. Many of our allies like Japan and Saudi Arabia start to go their own way.
– It is safe to say that a Trump victory will unleash a big polarizing fight on the Left. The progressives will say that Hillary couldn’t win because a centrist liberal was uninspiring to the Democratic base and to young voters in particular. The centrist liberals will blame the progressives for failing to unify behind Hillary. A carnival of liberals fighting leftists will ensue, but without Hillary at the top, I expect a much more radical, militant, anti-White version of the Left to emerge under a Trump presidency.
– If Trump wins, I predict there will be less fear and apathy on the Right, but fewer people will be as angry and alienated as they are now.
The typical American president keeps around 76 percent of his campaign promises. That’s what I am expecting from Donald Trump. Unlike many people, I do think he will try to enact his agenda and he will have the most success in areas where he doesn’t have to work with Congress. He won’t succeed in Making America Great Again because the cultural disintegration is far too advanced for any president to solve.
Without Hillary as his opponent, I think Trump will have a hard time getting reelected. It is easy to imagine an ascendant Left that has radicalized under Trump sweeping to victory in the 2020 election with a more popular champion. In such a scenario, secession would be far more likely than it is today when the would be secessionists are disgruntled leftists.”
So far, virtually everything I said above is coming true.
Over the past month, we have seen mass protests by snowflakes and buttercups screaming “Not My President,” the #Calexit temper tantrum movement, tensions ease with Russia, Trump reaching out to the world’s dictators in Egypt and Kazakhstan and authoritarians like Rodrigo Duterte in the Philippines, and the SPLC and ADL’s demand that Trump rescind Steve Bannon’s appointment has fallen on deaf ears.
We’ve seen Trump continue to escalate his attacks on the Lügenpresse and lash out with politically incorrect tweets. We’ve seen his legitimacy questioned because he lost the popular vote. The Alt-Right has also become the new Tea Party boogeyman. He won because a critical mass of Rust Belt Yankees in rural areas came to their senses. I predicted it would mean “that economics is temporarily more important to them than haranguing the South about racial issues. It has happened before at the end of Reconstruction. Yankee idealism has waxed and waned through history.”
For Southern Nationalists, it is always 1861. It is way, way too early to peer into our long term future, but we might have just passed through another 1877 instead. I throw that out there only as a possibility because of the rhetoric of the 2016 election. Trump was adamant that if he lost it would be the last election. You can’t read The Flight 93 Election and not be struck by the parallels to the Redemption.
What if BREXIT and Trump’s victory is just the start of a global Redemption that is about to sweep across the Western world and overthrow the post-WW2 liberal world order? It’s an exciting possibility to think about. I’m not a believer because of all the cucky rhetoric about inclusion and winning minorities, but in the heat of the election when Trump’s back was against the wall it sure seemed like there was a greater awareness of the historical moment we are living in and what would happen if he failed.
Here’s another possibility: it is another 1980 and Trump is Ronald Reagan and he’s going to “Make America Great Again.” Everyone will pat themselves on the back and hit the snooze button. It will be “Morning in America” for a few years. Underneath the surface though, changing racial and cultural demographics combined with conservative complacency and ineptitude will result in a missed opportunity. Maybe Trump passes another amnesty for illegal aliens bill or a large tax cut that pleases Big Business?
As Richard Spencer said in his video this afternoon, there is a real possibility that the Trump presidency will just be the last gasp of something. Maybe the Baby Boomers have finally succeeded in “Taking Back America.” What are they going to do with it now though? How does the Left respond to Trump’s America? Does it radicalize, regroup, and retake power in 2020 or 2024? I also envisioned that scenario in my speech.
What do we do in Trump’s America? Where do we go from here? It’s time to start thinking about it. We’re having a meeting about that soon.
Note: In the speech above, I warned about the consequences of embracing vanguardism and rejecting politics and sealing ourselves off from mainstream culture. I said for months that other groups without those isolationist inhibitions would reject that approach and take advantage of the developing situation with Trump. Now we are going to hear about Alt-This and Alt-That for years to come.
