According to Joe Biden in his famous 2020 election message to black voters Republicans want to, “put y’all back in chains!” Well, how could anyone doubt the accuracy of statements by Joe (Cannibals ate my Uncle Bosie) Biden? But to be fair to Dementia Joe, even with the economy cratering in front of us no one thinks that Donald Trump can get more than a maximum of twenty percent of the black vote. So, I guess Biden’s strategy isn’t uninformed.
But regardless of how durable the Democrat coalition seems to be, the thinking that needs to be done on the right is what kind of coalition can be created that will last for more than just the disaster that is 2024.
And I’m not thinking of a, “the enemy of my enemy” kind of situation. I think it’s time to find commonalities with whoever is out there that isn’t diametrically opposed to us. And I guess I better define who, “us” is.
Well, that’s easy. Us is anyone who isn’t a card-carrying member of the leftist project. Well, maybe it’s actually easier to say who it isn’t. It isn’t feminists. They want to dissolve the family. It isn’t the LGBTQ. They want to outlaw normal. It isn’t the anti-white coalition. They want to erase me. It isn’t the climate warriors. They’re nuts. It isn’t the communists. They want to steal our money. And it isn’t the globalists. They hate this country.
So, anyone who’s not a part of these groups is “us.”
You might think that eliminates a lot of people. I’m not so sure. I don’t think that the “normal” people in this country are outnumbered. I just think they’ve never been allowed to think of themselves in that context. For the first time, maybe ever, a Republican presidential candidate may win the Hispanic vote. Now think about that. If the Republicans manage to hold onto the majority of the white vote, namely men and married women and also win the Hispanic vote it’s got to be pretty hard for the Democrats to win elections.
And it can get even worse than that. Democrats are currently winning the “women” vote. But the amount of fuzzy thinking that is currently going on about abortion and the whole “Handmaiden’s Tale” nonsense that the Democrats feed women is ripe for some pushback. Young women are finally realizing that they’ve been sold a bill of goods by the Left. Their dreams of having it all have turned out to be a pretty hollow fiction. Squandering their twenties and thirties as corporate middle-management drones and then spending their forties desperately trying to find a husband and start a family is hardly, “having it all.” Of late the talk about a “trad-wife” movement is a little bit overblown but there is definitely something going on that makes me think that organizing young women to join the normal coalition could pay big dividends in the future.
In a way, the hardest group to get on board is the most surprising one too. It’s the Dissident Right. These are people that have become so embittered by the consistently anti-white and anti-normal actions of the United States government that they refuse to believe that they can find common cause with anyone but their own ethnic and political grouping. And from what I’ve read, they’re pretty adamant in their opinions on this. And I can sympathize with their point of view. But I think that a situation could arise where they could find some kind of common ground with a broader grouping of people that contains ethnic groups that they are unfriendly with. Now this won’t happen until this broader coalition begins to poach away parts of the leftist coalition. And once it does it can begin to prove its usefulness as a vehicle for promoting traditional values across ethnic groups as a strategy for attacking the leftist positions. So, if you can get multiple old and new constituencies backing up family values as opposed to the feminist/LGBTQ anti-human values it would help to show the dissidents that there are practical, concrete advantages to making common cause with other groups based on cultural and philosophical commonalities.
What sparked this chain of thought was a post that the ZMan put up about a moderate group on the right that he characterized as the Cosmopolitan Right (Cosmo Right). This includes people like Auron MacIntyre, Lomez and the others on the moderate right who include some of the people in the orbit of the Claremont Institute. The interesting thing about the post was that as opposed to most other moderate right groups or entities, ZMan was guardedly positive about this group’s agenda and capability. I’ll have to say I was pleasantly surprised. Who knows? Maybe one day we can, “all just get along” on the Right. But in the meantime, it gave me food for thought.
