I read the reports of Marjorie Taylor Greene being denounced for speaking at Nick Fuentes’ AFPAC convention. And while she was careful to say that she doesn’t know all his views and therefore doesn’t go on record as supporting them she went to the convention to speak to the thousand of attendees there who are fans of the MAGA movement that she does support.
Fuentes is called a white supremacist even though he’s Hispanic. I guess he must be one of those dangerous “white Hispanics” we hear about. He is a white nationalist and he is on the dissident right. He’s also being persecuted by the January 6th investigation and all of his assets have been seized and his life turned upside down. He’s on a no-fly list and I’m sure other lists equally debilitating. But what Greene did was important. She connected with the untouchables and thereby lessened their isolation. We need more of that. Much more.
What’s especially needed is some legitimate organization to start bridging the gaps between the deplorables and the untouchables. Fuentes isn’t some hatemonger raving against non-white people. He is a conservative, America first type who isn’t mealy-mouthed about the anti-white bigotry he sees all around him. I don’t doubt that he could sit down at the same table as conservatives of various ethnicities and look for common ground and a coalitional agenda.
To be totally honest I think what the right needs to do is start being honest about identifying the specific pain points that various identity groups express under the Democrat regime and forge that into an agenda that can strip some of these ethnic groups away from the Democrat coalition. The obvious 600-lb gorilla is the Hispanic or Latino population. This is the largest non-white population in the United States and is also relatively conservative compared to the rest of the country. Finding common ground with them should be relatively easy. Some of the Asian populations are also quite upset about Democrat moves to eliminate test-based admissions to gifted school programs. There’s a natural entre into bringing them aboard the Right.
So, there are opportunities to build a coalition. What is needed is leadership that can smooth over the trouble that the media causes when it characterizes pro-white advocacy as white supremacy. And it will be important for the dissident right to start thinking in terms of how to open lines of communication with these other groups. What Marjorie Taylor Greene did was a first step. What Donald Trump did at CPAC acknowledging her presence there was a second step. That’s the first shaky steps toward bridging the gap. When the dissident right starts sharing a stage with Latinos and Asians and even Blacks and can find something to talk about, that will be the point at which we can cut out the Democrats and start directly negotiating the future.
So, there’s my mad dream. My kumbaya moment. I’d like to see the various communities in America honestly addressing their differing agendas and hammering out a modus vivendi. They don’t have to all love each other; they just have to find the best deal available. Without the Democrats to inflame hatreds and demonize Whites, chances are, there would be enough common ground to live in relative harmony. Once again all it takes is an organization that can deal with people, as opposed to the Republican Party which is basically the gang that couldn’t shoot straight.

I’ll go farther. If we agree on 30% then let’s be adversaries that can work a way to at least exist without attacking each other on that 30%.
