The Deplorables

Glenn Reynolds:

To understand what’s going on with President Donald Trump and his opposition, and in other countries as diverse as France, Hungary, Italy and Brazil, it’s important to realize that the post-World War II institutional arrangements of the Western democracies are being renegotiated, and that those democracies’ professional and managerial elites don’t like that very much…

  1. Little Potato and the Liberal Party make it easy for the Canadian peasants to understand. If you disagree with mohammad Justin you are obviously a Nazi. Don’t be a Nazi, join Team Trudeau!

  2. I disagree with everything about him: with his ugly socks, those silly fake eyebrows, his empty head, the Liberal elite that handed him the unearned job as Leader, that he is even the P.M., all the stupid mistakes he makes and that he and his family are on a billboard in Kentucky advertising canoes.

    Did I leave anything out?

    1. We elected the person the Liberals chose as a front man, allowing Butts and the rest of the behind the curtain cabal to write the script and direct the show. Sadly, he’s not really a good actor,his India trip proved that, as well he has trouble finding answers to tough questions off script.

      Anyway, we may have a hard time getting rid of the big show, we could be looking at hair and socks, photo bombing and selfies for another four years if we keep dissing our Conservative leader and waste a vote on Max…..then we have the NDP who are a disaster which helps the Liberals. Stupid is what stupid does.

      1. Then maybe your beloved CPC milk shills should have elected a better front man as well. You have only yourselves to blame for so many of us being disaffected and leaving the CPC.

        I wouldn’t vote for Weak Andy if he was handing out life preservers on the Titanic.

        With a weak NDP showing, Andy 2% couldn’t beat Trudope on the luckiest day of his life so it is a moot point.

        Better to vote Max and show support for TRUE CONSERVATIVE policies.

        Maybe then the CPC will wake up and stop being Libtard Lite.

        1. Agreed. What, exactly, is the scenario by which the CPC wins? They stand for nothing, and will at most make a minuscule tweak to existing policies if they somehow acquire power. People = personnel. Sche(m)er would be Mr. Status Quo, as he either does not know how to, or does not want to win any political fight, except against better men in his own party. These times call for real leadership.

        2. preCISELY. oh lordy. a string of pathetically WORSE THAN USELESS frontmen.
          I can go all the way back to ‘dief the chief’ to prove that.

          example: bob . . . uh . . . . um . . . . stan . . .uh . . . . field . . . . . . er . . . . . . um . . . . .
          no exaggeration, it was audio torture listening to that astute businessman struggle to finish the fcukin sentence.
          anybody remember this liberal media trick question gotcha moment?:
          yo, bob, what’s the main difference between liberals and conservatives?

          2nd example:
          joe clark, or as I called him, joke lark.
          WAKE UP true conservatives. wake the fcuk up.

      2. Butts must be outed. Paul Wells recently made a weak stab at it, but it is an MSM beginning. This is the man who brought Ontario to it’s knees and already has a good start on doing the same to Canada. The son of a Cape Breton coal miner with a huge chip on his shoulder and a hatred of success.

        1. The key to understand Butts is that he a member of the self-appointed elite who possesses the power to make you submit, and the blind arrogance to do so. I don’t think coal miners son has much to do with the present Butts. He is “ enlightened”.

      3. I ,m not sure that a vote for Max is a wasted vote. The problem I have with Scheer is his toast after winning the leadership with a glass of milk. He was not toasting the party members he was toasting the Quebec dairy cartel. That organization were against Max because of his intention to get rid of their sacred cow, gold plated, single source supply system. The milk toast was saying thank you to the crooks from Quebec who got their way as they usually do. There is no way they will support Scheer in the next election,they got what they wanted from him and as far as they are concerned he is just another useful idiot from anglo Canada!

    2. He’s the affirmative action PM and stark evidence of what happens when superficial qualities drive voters.

      There’s a lot of Trudeau voter’s remorse on Vancouver Island, but if nothing changes, he’s got this thing in the bag.

      1. The island is now largely commieDip territory, sadly.

        Its very disconcerting to realize that the Island was ALL Reform, except Victoria, at one point. Now its Bring on the Socialists, and be outside of government in perpetuity. Must be all the retirees moving here from socialist fifedoms, and of course the millenials wanting free, free, free stuff.

        At some point, we may even see Greentards elected, to be useless appendages, as useless as the ENDP.

  3. People oversimplify things in an effort to understand their circumstances. In that vein my humble opinion is that world events are being driven by global debt. Economies are driven by growth and that is being threatened by demographics, affordability, adjustment to technology and debt in all aspects of society.

    When the fundamentals of economics are no longer understood then exploiters like socialist can play one group against another. Capitalism is failing because progressives now control education, media and government infrastructure. Capitalism has not been able to mount a defense and IMO societies will fail with many violent outcomes. So many western countries have survived kaos in the past because they controlled world capital. The USA and Canada will not go untouched this time around. As the social contracts that these societies are based on fail upheaval accelerates.

    As I keep saying to my wife Trump is a symptom. I doubt he survives 2020 but the Democrats who take over will accelerate the descent. They are the real cause of where the USA is headed. There will be violence I am afraid. I consider Canada a joke. It is not a real country anymore. Born as a country based on citizens who did not want to meet the intellectual challenge of being a republic. Canada has made a living off its geographic proximity to the USA. It has never seriously debated national issues or viewed the country’s future in a national security context. Successive governments of all stripes have bribed their citizens with gifts from the future. As above when this social contract is broken the country will splinter. Economic disruption on a scale that exists in Western Canada will not be placidly accepted.

    1. Well said.

      Marxism is a cancer on civilization, and controls Canada.

      Witness the continuous caving in of enterprise to socialism in its various hideous forms. The latest is Gillette, Suncor accepting the carbon tax.

      Lenin said the capitalist will sell him the rope with which to hang him.

      1. I think some of the rope we’re buying is catering to Marx’s idiotic class terminology, junk economics and abject failure to reconcile with the iron law of oligarchy, plus his misunderstanding of history itself as he lived in an age that presaged a meteoric rise in living standards, prosperity, quality of life, safety and freedom.

        Then socialists directed and taxed societies into inflation and war, while professing their love for Hitler and Stalin.

        But like all top-downers, he felt the need to step in when the hard work had already been done and results were showing.

        Kind of like our neo-Marxist progressives now, including our boy blunder.

        But Reynolds is right, how can Trump be the proximate cause of polarization, which justifies the gun-toting, bible clinging racist argument for daring to disagree with the neo-regents? Are yellow vesters black hating gun lovers?

        How totalitarians were going to hand over power was never explained by Marx, nor was his assumption that the “working class” all thought the same way with the same wants and needs, which justified his and his technocrat thugs deciding everyone’s preferences.

        Socialists, progressives and statists have gleefully shoveled this codswallop “you need us” on the unwary and incurious.

        Reynolds is right, this has not change at all since Marx, another something for nothing political playwright.

      2. “Under capitalism, man exploits man. Under communism, it’s just the opposite.” J. K. Galbraith

        Lenin knew this only too well. Marx was too stupid to get it as Shamrock points out.

      1. That’ll probably happen by itself. Her Majesty is getting on in years and I shudder to think that she’ll be succeeded by Charles. Let’s face it, the House of Windsor hasn’t exactly produced a long line of candidates for membership in Mensa, has it?

      2. If Canada became a republic, not one single thing would change other than the title of the Governor General. No politician is going to risk the division the change would entail.

      3. Dont underestimate the US in that scenario. The US needs more resources to support its far bigger need for resources and territory.

        All it would take is a far, far left autocratic leader (AOC? in 20 years) to just Annex the remains of Canaderp. Not far fetched given the snowflake syndrome of the current military and police leadership across this land.

        Easy pickings for the US

    2. its a ponzi scheme CT, pure and simple, a 5 quintillion dollar ponzi scheme: $5,000,000,000,000,000,000
      and they always collapse. the longer they exist, the more catastrophic the result of the collapse.
      it’s biblical, really.
      be ready, all, and find out for yourself what that consists of.
      step 1: pay off ALL your debts no matter how inconvenient and painful.

  4. I’m surprised that USA Today would allow something like this to be printed.

    In Canada, the Deplorables are ruled and controlled by the Laurentian Elite and the Power Corp.

    Viva Gilets jaunes partout!

  5. The United States continues to be Canada’s friend, ally and benefactor supplying this impish and ungrateful country with almost all of its revenue, jobs and security while Canada’s ignorant rank and file continually shit on the benevolent Samaritan in a quest to legitimize their putrid and anti-intellectual Marxist underpinnings.

  6. Good Lord. He’s just figured out the class war is real and the bad guys are winning?

    Everybody knows that our master class—perhaps 50,000 strong worldwide—have been working towards the happy day when they will own everything and everybody who presents a threat to their rule can be hauled off to extermination camps.

    As straight white men pose the greatest threat, they are to be dispatched first, of course, by women, negroids, Muslims of all races, and the rest of the wretched of the earth, dreaming of the wealth and idleness the globalists promise to those who help rid the world of “racists,” “fascists,” “misogynists,” “Islamophobes” and “homophobes.”

    Naturally, the promises will not be kept. The wretched will soon after be fed to the extermination chambers themselves, by robots finally able to do the jobs for which the wretched are currently indispensable.

    Robots always deliver according their ability and never think to ask for more than their needs. They’ll make a far better socialists than any human proletariat ever could have.

    Globalism is in the interest only of the future robot army and the few thousand humans who will control it. For everyone else it’s a recipe for extinction.

    I exaggerate slightly. The human inheritors of planet earth will continue to breed a few human children (in artificial wombs, of course), for use as playthings in the horrifying sex games that the inheritors will finally be free to enjoy with impunity.

    Orwell’s boot stamping on a face would be the height of mercy compared to the globalist future. The globalist future is a knife furiously stabbing a naked child while a male organ spends on the child’s face—forever.

  7. Meh.
    We are into the 5th generation of career civil servants.
    The people who oppose Trump and reveal a derangement in the hatred they hurl at This president and even more so at his supporters, are fools.
    If they recognized what President Trump represents they would rush to stand behind him.
    When Trump fails,as I believe it will take a miracle for him to succeed, then the old methods of removing parasitic overload will kick in.
    And there is nothing civil about an internal war.

    Canada is a zombie, a debt call or even a real natural disaster will collapse this empty facade.No matter who “wins” the coming federal election,Independence from this festering,regulation bound ruin is the only sane financially responsible course.
    Is planning for the future is part of your world view,what future can you realize in a country that respects neither truth nor private property.

    Canada even denies your right to defend your own life,what kind of future does that promise?
    Song for the Confederation;Sex Pistols, No Future.

  8. From the article:
    “French geographer Christophe Guilluy observes:
    “Immediately, the protesters were denounced as xenophobes, anti-Semites and homophobes. The elites present themselves as anti-fascist and anti-racist, but this is merely a way of defending their class interests. It is the only argument they can muster to defend their status, but it is not working anymore.”

    Well who would have thought?

    The ruling class and the peripherals. Sounds like someone, a peripheral can recognize.
    Yes, the ruling class went to school for a long time got their learning degrees in nothingness.
    These people could not put one and one together, though they could talk bullshit all day and admire their sophistry while talking and saying nothing.
    Come to think of it that was the way the communists talked. I know this first hand, been there.
    When the communists had a congress, there would be a lot of talking from the rulers. One thing stood out for most peripherals, they could talk for hours and say virtually nothing.

    Has anybody noticed the same from the media cartel?
    If you ever catch Tucker Carlson or listen to Rush from time to time, these two gentlemen would put together a montage of clips from the networks. These could be characterized as blah, blah, blah, yes blah, blah, blah, ooo yes, blah, blah, blah.
    It always appears as though they got their talking points from the big giant head, word for word.
    In fact, they have these idiots that claim education, talking so stupid it boggles the mind. Of course these idiots are counting and projecting that everyone else just gotta believe their lies, omissions, misleads and just plain garbage talk.
    This is how conceited the talking heads are.
    They insist that the audience is composed of idiots, never looking in the mirror to actually see them.
    Now, you have the socialist/fascist cadres that will eat it up, those will never come across an idea that will make them think otherwise, they are the lost souls, you can say, the useful idiots,

    One could write a book on this.

  9. Coming to your Canadian & possibly American Neighbourhoods.__ Hate filled Muslim Crowds __ Close Four Churchs in Egypt ___

    Please remember Islamism began with a Conflict and a Schism between Two Groups claiming ownership of The Legacy of Muhammad.

    One Group promotes the Concept __ Only Allah is God and Muhammad is the Prophet.

    One Group promotes the Concept __ Return of the Caliphate.

    Both Groups developed the Human written understanding of their Legacy of Muhammad.

    The original effort for dissemination of Islam was through Terror for all___ Dhimmi ___ which ostensibly means providing security for non-muslims was and is actually the approach of demonizing any one who did and does not follow Sharia Law. The brutalities displayed with the directions of Theocracy, as interpreted by zealot local religious leaders.

    Christianity or Philosophy if you as an individual, are not receptive to the Human made process of following Jesus Christ’s admonitions. The Christian concept is based on “Love your neighbour as you love yourself”.

    The base of the writing is on Jesus, was and is the Logos– The Word — in the Human form and as such is the inheritor of the Oral History which moves back into the “Free Will” of Humans. The process of dissemination is through the recording of Chistian beliefs through the written word.

    The process of individual Free Will under Christianity became subsumed under the Human made process of using the State– Rome — as the supporter, and with real human power of brute force– establishing the routine(s) of joint of Christianity or Philosophy with the process of Colonialism.

    The European Reformation along with the growth of the British Empire spread both the Roman Christian & various Protestant Religions throughout the then known, to Europeans, world.

    The State control of the Legacy of Muhammad is now using the previous to the world before the Twentieth Century of___ Oil Wealth __ to establish the authority the Muslim Dominated Countries/Nations, I describe as States.

    Using the wealth from selling Oil access and using the secular knowledge of how to exploit the Revenue opportunity; as the method of __Replacing The Dhimmi__; which became less and less possible as a Source of Revenue after initial success of spreading the Religious Muslim State.

    The success of maintaining a closed circular dialogue, contained in the Legacy writings was unable to motivate wealth expansion by and for Muslim Followers. Indolence and ignorance became the easy manner of moving responsibility to the Top of Authority.__ Inshallah– It is the will of Allah.

    Brute force returned as the means for selected interpretations of Muhammad’s Legacy to be used, and Celebrity for Ignorance in carrying through acting with brute force to gain Celebrity.

    Fortunately; the standard history of using Brute Force, both by Muslim followers and equally ignorant Christianity followers; has moved the situation out of the hands of fearful and weak Bureaucracies and feckless self-serving Elected Politicians & Political Leaders and/or Oath Giving Appointed Leadership.

    Brute Force will now be either used as a Real Threat or an actual method to disuade any movement of restricting Individual Free Will __presently defined as; “Human Rights of the Individual”.

    Hopefully this present pressure by Venal Persons will actually move the Evolution of Civilization a step or two forward in establishing a True and beneficial Social Contract for all Peoples.

  10. Pretty much all of the comments on this thread miss the point. It isn’t a matter of one party, one leader (puppet) vs another. Changing party will change a few cosmetic things, but beyond that little will change, no matter what they promise.

    Without wanting to sound like an old style socialist: The system has to change. And to paraphrase some old American guy, periodic refreshes will be required.

    Time to refresh that tree.

    1. Refreshing that tree requires a movement of people with some kind of coherent premise. It was liberty then and promoted within a more literate culture than ours. Today, the symbol of populist revolt is Trump, someone who would make King George III appear almost libertarian by contrast. I see nothing but the continued decline of bankrupt welfare states, tweaked periodically to sustain the descent until eventually crushed by debt or runaway inflation intended to eliminate the debt. After that, we will have gone full cycle back to feudal tyranny.

      1. Yes, I’m afraid that is so. We will have to crash and burn, again, but we will vote in “other” progressives.

        If/once the mess they left is cleaned up, the sheeple will leap back into their easy way out arms of progressivism.

        That’s our fate; as a group, we get what the politicians we “richly” deserve.

        Too bad it won’t stay easy for long but at some point it will be too late to throw those bums out for other bums.

        What progressives do; they won’t change, any more than the Mafiosi would cease their criminal exploits. It works for them.

        Marx argues the “dictatorship of the proletariat” would cause government to whither away.

        The only results of that have been totalitarianism or the anarchy of the failed state and its society. Nothing else is possible.

        1. “Marx argues the “dictatorship of the proletariat” would cause government to whither away.
          The only results of that have been totalitarianism or the anarchy of the failed state and its society. Nothing else is possible.”

          Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn mused about this many times during his incarceration and mentions this in The Gulag Archipelago.

  11. Will the sheep be sheared into serfdom, or turn into lions to feed on the shearers, or will they continue to chase the mythical running dogs of capitalism? How can identity politicians demand the end to stereotyping or “revere” only thought and science that conforms to their false narratives? Easy, they don’t care about that, just wielding political power, status quo elitism and their perks.

    Excerpt from the last page of The Grand Chessboard by Zbigniew Brzezinski

    In brief, the U.S. policy goal must be unapologetically twofold:
    to perpetuate America’s own dominant position for at least a generation
    and preferably longer still; and to create a geopolitical
    framework that can absorb the inevitable shocks and strains of social-
    political change while evolving into the geopolitical core of
    shared responsibility for peaceful global management.
    A prolonged
    phase of gradually expanding cooperation with key
    Eurasian partners, both stimulated and arbitrated by America, can
    also help to foster the preconditions for an eventual upgrading of
    the existing and increasingly antiquated UN structures.
    A new distribution
    of responsibilities and privileges can then take into account
    the changed realities of global power, so drastically different
    from those of 1945.

    These efforts will have the added historical advantage of
    benefiting from the new web of global linkages that is growing
    exponentially outside the more traditional nation-state system.
    That web—woven by multinational corporations, NGOs (nongovernmental
    organizations, with many of them transnational in
    character) and scientific communities and reinforced by the Internet—
    already creates an informal global system that is inherently
    congenial to more institutionalized and inclusive global
    cooperation.

    In the course of the next several decades, a functioning structure
    of global cooperation, based on geopolitical realities, could
    thus emerge and gradually assume the mantle of the world’s current
    “regent,” which has for the time being assumed the burden of
    responsibility for world stability and peace. Geostrategic success
    in that cause would represent a fitting legacy of America’s role as
    the first, only, and last truly global superpower.

  13. VDH rates and likes Trump’s 2020 chances, will his deplorables redeploy, rather than staying home as they did in mid-terms?

    “Democrats can continue their hard-left drift and nominate socialist Bernie Sanders, or they can try again to elect the first female president, either Kamala Harris or Elizabeth Warren, both of whom represent the far left.”

    But going to extremes did not work well in 1972, when leftist Democratic Senator George McGovern was crushed by incumbent Richard Nixon. The Republicans learned that lesson earlier when they nominated Senator Barry Goldwater in 1964 and were wiped out.”

    Whether or not they like Trump, millions of voters still think the president is all that stands between them and socialism, radical cultural transformation, and social chaos.”

    Many would prefer Trump’s sometimes-over-the-top tweets and hard bark to the circus they saw at the Brett Kavanaugh nomination hearings, the rantings of Ocasio-Cortez, or the endless attempts to remove Trump from office.”

    What usually ensure one-term presidencies are unpopular wars (Lyndon Johnson) or tough economic times (Jimmy Carter, George H.W. Bush).”

    If Trump avoids both, perhaps a majority of voters will see him as political chemotherapy — occasionally nausea-inducing, but still necessary and largely effective — to stop a toxic and metastasizing political cancer.”

  14. I guess we will see just how many votes Max and company get. When the dust settles and intelligent people get a look at the results the conservative party may cease to exist.

  15. Interestingly , the media and education in old forms are running into the end of cycle. This is why they are fighting mad the inevitable end. This revolution will finish them off.
