How the American Political Left Lost Its Strategic Advantage

For years, the political Left held every advantage over the political Right. In large part, that is due to the fact that the political Left very effectively shifted the battleground away from the political Right. What had previously been a fight over cultural norms and national identity, became fully engrossed in economics. This is due to the fact that the American political Right was boxed out of these arguments – until now. The tide is turning. As the positions of the American political Left begin to hit home, a tsunami of anti-Cultural Marxism is building within the United States. The Left, as evidenced by the actions of many parents throughout the United States, has lost the strategic advantage.

To begin, the Left was able to dominate the Overton Window of social discourse because the Right surrendered it.  In so doing, the Left weaponized the sensitivities of female and minority voters.  Once the Left built a coalition, it was able to impose profound changes upon American society.  Any challenge to those changes became harder and harder to articulate – until the political Right capitulated.  For example, ending segregation was contrasted by images of Bull Connor, consequently enjoining support for segregation as violent oppression.  Another example was the exploitation of the self-imposed AIDS pandemic to solicit sympathy for homosexuals.  In one generation, we went from calling someone a queer in the locker room to LGTBQ+666 and sexually explicit books in middle schools throughout the South.  In two generations, we went from “separate but equal” parallel societies to a complete war against the functional civilization built by European and American peoples – with corporate sponsorship seemingly supporting that dismantlement.

The American Right chose that which they perceived to be the safe ground of economic arguments.  After all, the Right theorized, fiscal concerns could unite socioeconomic blocs of working class and elites in a power sharing arrangement, in order to galvanize resistance to the Left.  If you could peel away just enough suburban soccer moms, who are concerned about their material comfort, you can build a coalition to check the power of the “rainbow alliance.”  This led to a situation by which the American political Right was cornered into arguments over taxes and spending.

It is hard to solicit emotional support for arguments over taxes, but emotional support is necessary to gain an advantage in an increasingly democratic republic.  Thus, in years within which a war was present, such as the 2004 presidential election, the American public supported the incumbent, George Bush.  In large part, the election became a referendum on National Security (an issue that solicits emotion).  In 2008, when the Iraq War was largely over, the Afghan War seemed to be going well, but a financial collapse was occurring, the election shifted back to economics.  Constrained to argue on their chosen ground, the Obama team exploited the static Republican position on “taxes,” and further emotionally manipulated his historic candidacy. 

Furthermore, as the “Right” supported the foreign outsourcing of jobs, the working-class began to abandon the two-party system that rapidly became indistinguishable from one or the other.  Both sides supported endless wars and cheap trinkets.  This lead to an economy by which veterans would come home from Afghanistan or Iraq to Walmart jobs, selling crappy goods for minimum wage, while being told their White race and heterosexuality were badges of privilege.  No one fought for them.

This pattern continued both nationally and locally, while leftists advanced their culturally transformative agenda through policy and local activism.  Suddenly, by 2016, the ascendance of Donald Trump took the Republican Party by surprise.  Discussions on taxes and spending were subordinated to the emotional arguments surrounding Nationalism vs Globalism.  Incapable of understanding what was going on, both “Never Trumpers” and hesitant Republican elites found themselves with an uncontrollable base.  Unlike their worlds, the American people knew “something” was wrong – but they just could not put their finger on it.

While Republicans, like former Speaker of the House Paul Ryan (R, WI-1) openly withdrew support for the Republican candidate of 2016, American working-class voters were watching transgender story hour, hormone suppression therapies, anti-White radicalization, and a host of other degenerate positions taught to their children – all with Department of Education funding.  Desperate for someone to take the fight to DC, they embraced Donald Trump.  For his part, Trump was a failure regarding their social concerns.  As much as Trump talked, he did nothing to walk back many of the more extreme leftist positions, such as the continuation of entertaining so-called transgendered children.

Meanwhile, throughout the Trump Administration, the Left became emboldened and increasingly more empowered.  What started as unchecked, violent protests during his inauguration in January 2017, intensified by the month.  Entering August 2017, law enforcement writ large chose to embrace the Left and abandon the Right, as evidenced at the “Unite the Right” Rally in Charlottesville, when they pushed lawful rally attendees into unlawful, violent communists.  Thus, the summer riots of 2020 were not a new phenomenon; they were a crescendo of sorts.  The police literally kneeled in submission to ultra violent, leftwing mobs. 

In the summer of 2020, while Trump literally did nothing to stop the violent riots occurring throughout the country over the death of a violent criminal crackhead, normal Americans watched in horror.  The AntiFa went from a fringe name to one in which normies associated it with gratuitous violence.  Soccer moms who had BLM signs in their front lawns only a year earlier, took the extraordinary step of looking into the extremist positions of Black Lives Matter.  At the time, the McCloskeys (an affluent White couple in St. Louis) were surrounded by a violent BLM mob, Mark McCloskey was offering – voluntarily – free legal counsel to indigent black defendants.  The Left began targeting their “White allies” for extermination – along with White (READ “Functional”) society.

The Left maintained its strategic advantage, exploiting the Covid pandemic to prove that White people were beaten down into a gelatinous, compliant mass.  Mask mandates and shut-downs became the new mantra of the transformative Left.  Meanwhile, the Republicans continued to have no answer for their so-called ideological opposition.  Why? Because they could not process arguments beyond their myopic economic framework.  Over thirty years, the Republican Party was reduced to “muh taxes.”  The Left, consequently, annihilated the Right in 2020.  Then, something happened.

At some point, a small group of parents in Loudoun County, Virginia, began paying attention to Critical Race Theory (i.e., White people are evil).  Simultaneously, the State of Florida began electing secessionist candidates to positions of political power – forcing the DeSantis Administration to embrace anti-vax/anti-Covid restriction positions (DeSantis was originally “pro” restrictions).  Meanwhile, the Texas Nationalist movement has emerged with extraordinary strength.  At present, 66% of Southern Republicans support secession.  States throughout the South are passing legislative restrictions on abortion and adolescent transgender child abuse.  There is clearly a social re-awakening that is grabbing the Overton Window back from the Left, without Republican support.

The Left owned the Right because it made its social positions about emotional “love and support,” but they overstepped their boundaries when they made their positions about “accept or perish.”  Suddenly, a grassroots movement has emerged challenging these social positions.  The Republican Party, as usual, is thoroughly unprepared to understand or accept this shift in the zeitgeist.  But the Left does not realize it has surrendered its political advantage, either.  Overnight, the Left lost its strategic advantage because it pushed way too far, way too fast.  If you do not believe me, ask Bill Maher, an avowed leftist, who has complained openly about this shift.

A broad American movement, but especially a Southern movement, has emerged to fight the Left.  That is not unique.  The South has always been the break-wall of leftist political and social change.  In fact, as long as the South remains in the United States, it will save the rest of the U.S. from itself.  That is both good and bad.  Southerners should try to carve out their own path from an alliance of states that is no longer wedded to its own understanding and embrace of functional Western society.  At the same time, leftists will not let them go.  Consequently, you now have a number of hardening positions of rebel states.  As an example, for the first time in Florida history, registered Republicans outnumber Democrats, and polling shows they overwhelmingly support anti-leftist political positions. Similar seismic shifts are occurring throughout Southern states that act as (often unfortunately) sanctuaries for political and social dissidents.

In sum, the Left is dead – it simply does not know it.  They overplayed their hand and, in so doing, they have built a grassroots movement of resistance.  The establishment political parties have no idea, either.  They are standing on the sidelines of something they cannot control, while the real political battles take place at school boards and town councils.  Beginning on August 12^th, 2017, in Charlottesville and culminating in January 6^th, 2020, in Washington, DC, the Left is ceding ground daily to an increasingly organized resistance.  Soon, I suspect businesses will feel it, too.  The current leftist “Vax Mandates” – pushed by Big Pharma allies of the AntiFa – are awakening even more normies.  This fight is not yet over, but the tide has clearly turned for our side.

In the next few weeks, three big trials will determine whether I am right or I am wrong: the UTR Civil Trial (upon which free speech and lawful general assembly are being argued), the Rittenhouse Self-Defense Case, and the McMichaels/Arbery Self-Defense Case.  The latter two cases speak directly to Western concepts of justice and due process.  If all three jury cases end with “not guilty” verdicts (civil suit: “not liable”), as I suspect they will (I think the UTR trial will end in a split decision), it will be a stunning blow to the Left – which made its highwater mark with the obvious election fraud of 2020.  The fact that juries (READ normies) may determine that a variety of right-wing defendants are innocent would be an indication that the moment is now ours.

The Left lost its strategic advantage when it pushed too hard for socially transformative positions that ran contrary to the needs of their complacent supporters.  The Overton Window is now definitively in the grasps of the political Right.  Now is time to use it effectively, thoroughly destroying the LGBT and anti-White agendas that have dominated political and social discourse for the past decade.  They lost it.  Let’s take advantage.
