“The Middle-Class Will Revolt Against Progressives.

The college-trained progressives in Joe Biden’s White House are creating a bipartisan revolt by ordinary, middle-class Americans, says Joel Kotkin, a left-of-center California demographer who has long been critical of Silicon Valley’s political demands.

“A specter is haunting America, a great revolt that threatens to dwarf the noxious rebellion led by Trump … a new middle-class rebellion against the excesses of the Left,” Kotkin says in a June 4 article for Newsweek.

He continues:

This new middle-class rebellion is being bolstered by a wide-ranging intellectual rebellion by traditional liberals against the Left’s dogmatism and intolerance. Indeed, what we’re about to see has the potential to reprise the great shift among old liberals that had them embracing Reagan in reaction to the Left’s excesses of that generation.

Biden’s policies on race, housing, hiring, “equity,” and crime are deeply unpopular among many Americans, whether white, black, or Latino, he argues. Biden is similarly losing the middle class on immigration,” he wrote.

He said the Democrats’ education, anti-patriotism, crime, energy, and jobs policies are also harmful to many ordinary Americans.

Major pushback on how the progressive Left sees American history is also brewing. Americans by and large remain patriotic, including the poor and working class. This patriotism stands in stark contrast to the prevailing view among progressives, which casts America as the intrinsically and irredeemably evil spawn of slaveholders and racists. This simply does not constitute a popular program to the middle and lower classes, a gap that could become more and more meaningful—especially as the message of the Left spreads.

California shows where progressives will drag Americans unless there is a revolt against their green war on jobs, he argues:

California provides a precursor for the emerging climate regime. Our state’s fixation on renewable energy, along with the closure of natural gas and nuclear plants, has helped drive the cost of electricity and gas to the highest in the continental U.S. It has also systematically undermined key blue collar industries like energy, construction and manufacturing, which have stagnated or shrunk, while regulations designed for climate reasons have helped boost home prices to the nation’s highest.

However, Kotkin downplays the deep impact of labor migration on Americans’ wages, housing costs, and heartland states.

Still, Kotkin is getting praise from mainstream politicians, including J.D. Vance, who is now running for an Ohio Senate seat as a Republican.

Vance has a matching criticism of the nation’s investor-dominated economy. He wrote in 2020:

The [coronavirus] has revealed an American economy built on consumption, reliant for production on regimes either indifferent or actively hostile to our national interest. Production, where it still exists in our country, clusters in megacities, where “knowledge economy” workers live uptown from the low-wage servants (disproportionately immigrants) who clean their laundry, care for their children, and serve their food.

Perhaps we shouldn’t build our cities like that. Perhaps we should make things in America. And if not all things, then at least enough so that the next time China unleashes a plague, it can’t threaten us with a loss of medicines and protective equipment.

In recent days, even Joe Biden and his commerce secretary have championed wage and training policies that contradict Wall Street’s demand for more imported consumers, renters, and workers.”

The Canoe Meeting was described as a “forum,” except that no discourse was promoted, only an orchestrated performance involving a group of students, faculty, and administrators boarding an imaginary canoe that was meant to be leading everybody to the land of equity. There, unanimity found a theatrical expression in a crowd in which participants were sleepwalking in line and clapping hands to the same rhythm which presumably was to synchronize their “heartbeats.” I was reminded of hundreds of millions of Chinese men and women, some of whom were fearful while others subservient, some vitriolic while others calculated, who either perished or thrived on the stage of the unprecedented human drama that, in the name of the Cultural Revolution, destroyed culture.

The demand for unanimity begets intolerance of dissent in a totalitarian regime because dissent is tantamount to blasphemy. To subject one social group to punitive measures, or as totalitarians would call it, re-education, is thus inevitable. The mere absence of opposition is not enough, positive action is demanded to demonstrate dedication to the totalitarian movement. Whoever is put under the grip of the regime must compete in loyalty to its ideology. Ideological politics won’t stop until it destroys the existing society, as the Chinese Cultural Revolution has demonstrated, because nothing intoxicates the human soul like absolute power.

She sure didn’t want to hear that. Jordan Peterson is a fuckin bad ass.

ILLEGAL immigration abetted. We lost more than just an election



$870 million for Border Security in the ME; ZERO $ for our own.

"A Democrat budget plan spends hundreds of millions of American taxpayer money on border security for a multitude of Middle Eastern countries while stripping all funds for construction of a border wall at the United States-Mexico border."

Is it possible that the Oath Keepers, the most prominent antigovernment group in the United States, has been run, in effect, by the United States government itself — and nobody has mentioned it until now?

Oath Keepers has NEVER been an "anti-government" group.

Infiltration can never be ruled out though.

Oath Keepers, BLM, Antifa, III%, John Brown Gun Club, Black Panthers, Proud Boys... you name it.
And now it's new one - Committee To Support And Defend.

Tucker went live yesterday that he was informed by an anonymous source the gov is now spying on all his communications, and offered as proof was info on a story they were working on but hadn't aired yet.

This is impeachable. I bet the libs will be silent though, just like when Obama illegally mass wiretapped several dozen Associated Press corps staff and the media just bent over and took it. Or of course there was Rosen-gate where Obama and Holder falsely named James Rosen as a "criminal co-conspirator" on a warrant just to get access to his stuff as a reporter, even though they had nothing on him actually being a co-conspirator and internal memos proved that that wasn't their intention and they had no plans to prosecute him at all, just a means to an end.

1000's of tiny pricks. If they expect a mass uprising.

The easiest way to smoke out your current and potential threats is to create a charismatic group dedicated to all of their shared goals and ensure they have some early success. A concept well-trod during history. And in fiction too...maybe even by members of this forum
