The Anti Populist Crowd
Posted on 4/26/24 at 8:42 pm
Posted on 4/26/24 at 8:42 pm
I've noticed recently that the anti-populist crowd has become sort of emboldened. And they seem to have a common set of talking points. First and foremost among these is the idea that MAGA is basically a bunch of weak, stupid, failures who advocate for taxing the rich.
I find this view particularly odd as I have never heard any advocacy for taxing the rich among the MAGA folks.
MAGA, to me, means, being anti corruption, anti endless war, pro free enterprise but anti government/ corporate collusion that results in restrictions on free speech, economic hardship affecting the vast majority of working Americans, corporations advocating a?horent social agendas...etc.
I don't know a single MAGA who supports deficit spending or who wants to privatize sectors of the economy.
So my question is, who are these people? Are they left wing democrats incognito? Are they "traditional conservatives" who don't know about or understand the deep state / corporate collusion? Or don't care? Do they just yern for the days of Mitt Romney?
Who are you? Your are a very unpleasant lot.

I can’t help but mention that Roger Shrubber is chief among the bomb throwers in that crowd. Which touché, I don’t even really know what the hell he and/or they are talking about, as none of it makes any sense in terms of their lashing out.

They are neocons - acolytes of Bill Kristol.

I think you have to distinguish between the population at large and DC.
Anti-populist in DC are people like Schumer, McConnell and just about everyone else, except for 10 or so people. They don't care what the People want. They look at the People with contempt. Most of the citizenry agrees on most topics. But DC has its own agenda. Populist should not be confined to just the MAGA/Trump group. It's much larger and if we united these different populist segments, we would upend the DC Insurgent Class.
Outside of DC there's just a small group that are onboard with the party message and these are anti-populist.

These are older people who I guess want to go back to the comfort zone of not thinking cable news is full of shite.
It’s fricked yo their little worlds.
Talking about Roger. This dude is blaming a bunch of 30 year olds for ruining the country for his grandchild when he’s the one that did it.

If you concentrate, and think REALLY HARD, you MIGHT come up with one name.

This is an oxymoron. Anyone who is a traditional conservative (Jeffersonian) advocates for a decentralized government.

Populism is a collective ideal.
Every single person on the right should fight it. It leads you to socialism.

Anti-populist do not believe in nationalism. Whereas, I believe a nation must be very strong and foundationally solid before it can help others.
I know for a fact I am a populist. Of course, they will claim MAGA to be populist in an attempt to smear MAGA. Even a person can not help others without first being strong enough to help themselves.
Have you ever worked for a poor man?

If anti-populism becomes popular,
wouldn't that make it populist?

It's quite apparent the nation has reached a distinct political divide.....you're either a Nationalist/Populist or you're a Globalist.
Being a Nationalist/Populist doesn't mean you're a hardcore isolationist, it simply means you support the foreign and domestic policies that benefit the nation as a whole rather than enriching the corrupt members of the US Corporatocracy.

If Populists are everything you say there are, why do they hate conservatives so much?

We’re people who’ve read history.

Civilized tribalism would generate the highest level of happiness for most people. After all, that’s pretty much what organized religion is.

You don't want to privatize sectors of the economy? What are you? A fascist or a communists....choose!
Serious. Maybe a typo?
