Reactions to Biden's Fascist Call to War Against His Political Enemies

I have a more substantive post about Biden's speech in the queue. I was going to publish that first and this one later, but, for reasons you'll see later in the post, I think we should just get this one out of the way first.

I'll post the more serious post after this one.

Noted True Conservative and Norms-Defender Jonah Fatgunt agreed with the speech's call for actual war against the left's political enemies, but would have preferred if Biden kept his intentions hidden and accomplished his goals under cover of shadow.

How strange for a NeverTrumper!

CNN loved it!

As usual, the media were watching a different speech than the rest of us:

Biden's "reclaiming patriotism!"

The left admits this was a "wartime" address -- they're declaring war on Republicans.

Allah wrote his last post tonight, admitting the speech had the air of a wartime call to arms, but that this was necessary and proper, Because Trump.

As fate would have it, this is the last post I’ll ever write for Hot Air. Others are in the queue and will publish later tonight and tomorrow but they're already written. The stars have aligned to make a presidential speech on Trump's threat to democracy the last topic I have to tackle.

Here's the F*** You, Righties he had loaded in the queue:

At this point I must be the only strident critic of Donald Trump serving a pro-Trump populist readership across all of conservative media. And that's been true *for years.* Since 2020, at least.
It was possible only because of Townhall's sufferance, a show of integrity for which they don't get enough credit. But I think all of us knew it couldn't last. When you hire someone to run your hot-dog stand and he starts telling the customers that hot dogs are bad for them, that relationship won't endure. Even if he's right about the hot dogs.

Thank you to my critics -- the earnest ones, who weren't just axe-grinding because I wouldn't join a cult. I am not dishonest but am frequently stupid and you were right to call me on my moments of stupidity. Accountability is good. The right needs more of it from its own side, urgently. If the average populist slobberer had a few like you in their ear, we wouldn't be in the fix we're in.
Lastly, to those who spent the last seven years barking insults at me in the comments for not genuflecting to Trump, I'll give you this: You're not phonies. You believe what you say. We have that much in common. I respect honesty and paid you the respect of being honest. It would scandalize you to know how many of your heroes sound like you in public and like me in private. Audience capture has brought most of conservative media to ruin by making it predictable and shrill.
I hear Lincoln's words in my head as I write that: "We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies." Let's hope. But let's also be real: To a certain sort of Very Online Trumpist weirdo, having the right enemies is what politics is all about. To any who insist upon having me as one, I'm okay with it. Few badges of honor shine as brightly as the scorn of authoritarians.
*
As to the state of the right.
Partisan media serves two masters, the truth and the cause. When they align, all is well. When they conflict, you choose. If you prioritize the truth, you're a traitor; if you prioritize the cause, you're a propagandist....
That's one reason why, when I've been forced to choose, I preferred to be a traitor than a propagandist. Here's another: What is the right's "cause" at this point? What cause does the Republican Party presently serve? It has no meaningful policy agenda. It literally has no platform. The closest thing it has to a cause is justifying abuses of state power to own the libs and defending whatever Trump's latest boorish or corrupt thought-fart happens to be. Imagine being a propagandist for a cause as impoverished as that. Many don't need to imagine.

Oh fuck you. What the right is right now is in a state of evolution, away from your preferred neocon/neoliberal politics. You don't like us moving away from those politics, so you say we "stand for nothing."

No, we just stand for something that isn't "The Democrats But We Bomb More People and Cut Taxes For the Wealthy."

The GOP does have a cause. The cause is consolidating power. Overturn the rigged elections, purge the disloyal bureaucrats...

People support the power loci they have. The left, including Allahpundit, has an extraconstitutional power of bureaucrats who illegally impose their own, not-blessed-by-a-popular-vote policy choices by refusing to execute policies they don't like and substituting their own.

Lefties like Allahpundit like this illegal arrangement, because most bureaucrats are leftwing. There are righties in the mix, but when the great majority are on the left, only leftwing policy can emerge from the bureaucracy.

So of course he's campaigning for respect to the unelected, unconstitutional, illegal "Fifth Estate," the permanent bureaucracy that is proudly defiant of the public's choices because they think they know better, and work to cancel the public's choice in favor of their own.

There is no legitimate authority to do this -- they just do it because they can.

And when someone proposes changing the system so that they can't do what they already should not do -- by, say, firing the chronically insubordinate and #ResistanceWarriors -- people who love this extra, unconstitutional check on the choice of the voters start spitting venom.

... smash the corrupt institutions that stand in the way.

Yes, smash them.

Give the leader a free hand.

No, not a free hand, asshole, but the opposition to the President must come from political institutions which are empowered by the Constitution to resist him -- not his employees and subordinates in the executive branch.

It's plain as day to those who are willing to see where this is going, what the highest ambitions of this personality cult are.

This guy continues defending Biden, and liked his speech last night.

...
I agree with others who say that, fundamentally, the last six years have been a character test.

I do too. We got to see who was capable of standing for themselves, and who must always align themselves with the soft fascism of popular public opinion.

Some conservatives became earnest converts to Trumpism, whatever that is. But too many who ditched their civic convictions did so for the most banal reasons, because there was something in it for them -- profit, influence, proximity to power, the brainless tribalism required by audience capture.

Some of us just noticed that most of the promises made for NAFTA -- for example, that the middle and working classes would be held harmless by the changes it brought -- were false and wanted a change in the system.

Some of us noticed that the Professional Managerial Class had become unbearably, oppressively high-handed in its dealings with its subjects.

I've never been on board with the full Ron Paul style call for pacifism and isolationism, but for a long time I have noticed that my support for George W. Bush was premised on his promise to fight wars and not engage in nation-building as Clinton did, but for TWENTY FUCKING YEARS we have been engaged in gigantic, costly, bloody, limb-stealing nation-building projects which seemed to be accomplishing very little. And so perhaps we should reconsider this project, and we should very much reconsider the trust we had foolishly reposed in a gang of imbeciles.

Did you not notice that, self-professed Truth-Teller? You're still Secretary of the George W. Bush Fan Club, huh?

But no cult of personality for you!

I don't even like Trump. Many don't.

But I am very much determined that Trumpism, or something very much like it, must prevail.

I hate the neocon -- really, the neoliberal -- agenda of AllahPundit and his fellow leftwing invaders into the party.

Goodbye to all of that.

Most of the criticism of AllahPundit isn't about his attacks on Trump -- but by his absolute refusal to apply the same standards to the Democrats he supports in lieu of Trump.

He's constantly claiming that "Trumpists" make excuses for Trump, while he completely ignores the fact that Biden is the first president in history to declare war on his political enemies.

But you know -- gotta stop those "authoritarians" and "demagogues."

Allahpundit is a dishonest, mentally-ill cunt.

"Every great cause begins as a movement, becomes a business, and eventually degenerates into a racket," Eric Hoffer wrote. We've all gotten to see who the racketeers are.

Right. Enjoy working at a political shill site which pretends to be "conservative" but which is funded mostly by leftwing Democrats.

That's not a racket, feller.

I would rather fail as a writer than succeed if success means being some demagogue's footstool.

Well you managed to both fail and be a footstool for the demagogue Biden.

And for those of you wondering "Dispatch or Bulwark" -- he dishonestly chose the Dispatch. The Bulwark would have been the more honest choice. But The Dispatch occasionally attempts the pretense that it's not just a Democrat shill outfit, even though it's being bankrolled by most of the same Democrats bankrolling the Bulwark.

I'm grateful to have a new job.
I was set to hoof it over to Substack and start rattling my cup for subscriptions, hoping to make enough to cover rent. But after I posted the news on Twitter that I'd be leaving Hot Air, I got a call from Steve Hayes at the Dispatch. Would you be interested in writing for us, he asked? Uh, yes, I'd be interested. I've enjoyed the Dispatch since it launched and was reading Steve, Jonah Goldberg, and David French for years before that. You can count on one hand the number of successful right-of-center sites willing to hold populism to account for its excesses and the Dispatch is a very distinguished member of that distinguished group. Of course I'd be interested in writing for it.

Go S a D, miserable brokebrain leftie cuck.

30 The only thing Biden's speech may have done is slightly accelerate the inevitable.

Liberals like to talk about the wealth gap being out of balance, but the true danger to our country is the power gap that is wildly out of balance. This is not a thing that will be fixed by voting. It will require transformational figures that pose a danger to the status quo. Well, we've all seen what happens when you challenge the elite's status quo.

85 From a psychological perspective -- Biden's speech was an admission that the D's cheated in the last election and intend to cheat in all the future elections.

The speech was about trying to hold the ground they have taken -- that is, making sure that no one can implement an election system where everyone knows for sure that:

a) only eligible registered voters who were alive and sentinent at the time voted, and b) no one voted more than once.

Yet, I read it, and I clearly remember Johan Goldberg making the case, after he laid out all the other cases of Fascism in America like Wilson, FDR, and such - that Hillary's Fascism twitch would be welcomes by America. Fascism with a smile. Because Hillary was just such a good person.

Why people are surprised by Jonah Goldberg is beyond me. He's just big government like most every other NorthEast Republican. Big government is good, as far as Jonah is concerned. As long as big government does the right things.

138 The amount of pretzel-logic rationalizations it takes for someone like Allahpundit believe he is a) conservative; b) objective; c) honest; or d) ethical is astounding.

Let's start with the fact that he has kept his identity secret for decades is not because the right would attack him or try to get him fired, etc., but because the left would do so. Yet he still claims that it is the right that is somehow threatening democracy. Seriously, are there any significant anonymous lefty bloggers? They don't need to hide their identities because righties don't attack people like that, we don't "swat" people, we don't sick anti-fa on people.

But he claims to be scared by conservatives? How irrational is that (for purposes of this comment, I'm pretending AP believes anything he writes).

I could go on and on about his dishonesty, lack of principles, lack of ethics, etc. but it is all so obvious and in your face it's pointless. He's a typical lefty. Self righteous and completely dishonest.

146 Regarding the One Child Policy in China (from 1979 through 2015) story in the sidebar, the ChiComs probably prevented the births of at least 400 million babies during those years, most of those prevented births being of the female sex due to the standard Asian disregard of the value of female lives.

They also changed their 1.04 boy v. 1.07 girl pre-1979 birthrate such that now the population of 1.4 billion humans has a ratio of 114 males to 100 females.

Because of these changes, according to a bunch of demographic numbers I found for 2020, they currently have 29,767,609 "extra males" between the ages of 2-26.

The guy in the sidebar argues that China's system will collapse because of the "graying" of the population, as there will be so few children to take care of an increasingly older population. He may be right about that.

My argument is that China must find something to do with those almost 30 million "extra" men who have no prospect of ever marrying, and who are of fighting age now or will become fighting age in the next 15 years.

That is a yuge army that can be unleashed on the world and is the real danger that is a result of China's One Child Policy.

Nope. "Ignored the pandemic." Nope. "Encouraged 'lock her up' chants." Eh, sometimes. "Tried to steal the election." Nope.

Did Trump sic the IRS on people like Obama did? Did Trump sic the ATF on people like Clinton did? Did Trump give missile tech to China like Clinton did? Did Trump pardon literal terrorists like Clinton did? Did Trump abandon billions of military equipment to the Taliban and China like Biden did? Did Trump call Obama voters enemies of the country like Biden called Trump voters enemies of the country?

Right before the primaries in Maryland, there was a radio attack ad by Larry Hogan's understudy, Kelly Schulz, against Dan Cox. Wasn't deep in the knowledge pool yet. Listened to it since I was waiting for actual content on the radio (and radio has a habit of synchronizing advertising so you can't escape it). Standard mean-spirited attacks, in addition to (if I recall correctly) calling him a MAGA Trumper or something.

Helped make my decision right then and there. Also not money well spent by the Schulz campaign.

This is 100% direct result of the systemic deplatforming and narrative control imposed by the Progressive's since it was first exposed in journolist gate.

The Progressives have 95% control of discourse, allowing them to frame their own policies, but more importantly, has allowed them to strawman our side into cartoon land.

AllahPundit, Dispatch, Biden's speech last night, the FBI, "White Supremacy," "Insurrectionists!," "Nazi!" -- it's all the same. It's a bad cartoon version of a non-existant evil conservative who's every belief is grounded in -isms.

He started after 9/11 by writing a funny blog pretending to write posts as Allah, which was very islamic fundamentalism. He supported Bush's wars.

but he was never remotely conservative. His writing was never conservative. He was always pro abortion. he was always pro gay marriage. He was always against republicans engaging in the culture wars.

He was pro war - that's the only reason he got a "conservative" writing gig. Anyone who read his stuff new from the very start that he was not conservative. He mainly stuck to writing stuff about national security at first, where his opinions aligned perfectly with the neo-cons, but after time, as those issues faded in importance, he began voicing his opinion on other issues - always against the conservative position and always for the left position, yet the "conservative" HA kept him on and pretended he was conservative for some vague reason.

the very fact that he makes his living pretending to be something he is not (conservative) demonstrate his lack of character.

Aside from the obvious answer, they were the tranche of documents returned by request earlier -- no. Because Trump's attorneys, or any neutral observers were NOT permitted to be present at the time, we'll never have a reliable chain of custody.

It's more that Trump revealed the beliefs of many in the US (not globally) than that he caused them to go crazy. I don't think European politics has dropped the mask as much. They already had those beliefs and they've been circulating among the elite for some time. "The Population Bomb" is from over 50 years ago and the US had a pretty strong eugenics movement.

We've had parts and bits of partial reviews, nothing more.

If even one/10,000th of this existed in an election a Dem "lost", imagine - try to imagine - the reaction.

When the Left had actual opposition, which Trump represented and only to a small degree, like all totalitarians it went beserk.

You have more faith in the GOP transitioning than I do. I think it is perfectly willing to be controlled opposition for the totalitarians in perpetuity. Maybe, from the perspective of cowards and frauds, they are right. Opposition to endless wars, "free" trade which was costly as hell, and open borders ignited a civil war.

I obviously hope such a thing never happens, but if they do feel this way I understand. I'm not certain these monsters won't kill millions domestically.

Disgraced former FBI agent Andy McCabe says Biden didn't go far enough threatening Republicans: "People would like to have seen a bit more references to accountability. There really wasn't much talk about what we're doing about those insurrectionists."

Biden's spewing of delusional accusatory generalizations -- while providing exactly ZERO references to examples backing those claims -- was nothing short of pure demagoguery. Unexpectedly ...

429 There's a good chance China (or Russia) might decide a first strike is necessary because the people running the United States are sick, depraved lunatics

For quite a while, when Ukraine was still the current thing, lefties in "good" standing were going on about the need to nuke Moscow throughout the FNM.

The reason we have slipped into nuclear armeggedon is Vlad Putin is a more rational, reasonable person then the current American political leadership. As the saying goes "a rather low bar"...but if the Russians had a clown like we do we'd already have had the nuclear war everyone feared before '91.

430 Well, then you try to right size local economies, global economies and trade, you don't stand in the center of a pentagram, douse yourself in gasoline, set yourself on fire and enchant to open The Ninth Gate.

You and I would reach that conclusion, sure. But the current ruling class ? With literally a lifetime invested on riding the gravy train ? One that, since quite literally the end of WWII, has been based on the double whammy of economic expansion and population growth.

Don't tell me that caste would ever consider tightening their belts the slightest, when faced with the conclusion that its time to turn out the lights, the party is over. Nah.

For whatever reason, the current bunch of Silents and Boomers in charge have decided its time to drink up everything at the bar, while they still can, as the warm their younger supporters up to the virtues of Prohibition.

==
It has to be bigger than that. Something at has not just local or regional effect, it has to effect most of the lower 48 states to call off the election. So massive disruption in civil society. Complete power failure, pandemic, invasion. Nuclear attack.

I don't think a hurricane would be sufficient. It has to be a nation wide crisis. They'll need a lot of events leading up to declaring martial law and postponing elections indefinitely. That's not going to be easy to do. Probably easier to just falsify the votes. That said, they need heavy dem turnout to have a plausible steal. If the dem precincts are empty of people, but report 105% voting, and there isn't mail in voting, its going to be a much harder sell than last time. So what I am saying is, I have no idea what they have up their sleeve but its going to be something.

Unfortunately, the survival instinct is more often than not greater than the instinct to fight for what is right or to fight for liberty. Those young men probably looked at their chances of survival and decided that the only way to survive would be to join up rather than fight.

And, that is probably true of a great many Germans during the Nazi reign, or the french during the Vichy gov't. You're far more likely to survive if you cooperate and keep your head down.

Which is why W's claim that everyone wanted American style liberty and freedom was so wrong. People far more want safety and security than freedom and liberty. the vast majority of people will give up freedom and liberty for survival.

It's also something I entirely understand in context, given my familiarity with GOP circles and the people in them.

477 451 I'm not usually one that gets to into conspiracies as there's usually a much simpler explanation.

But isn't it weird that so many "conservative" thought leaders are always telling us to surrender on every issue?

And then you see that outlets like National Review have taken a lot of Google money. Drudge Report was supposedly bought out by some mysterious entity, etc. Hot Air at one time was the biggest conservative website. Red State was up there also, another one that corrupted. The list goes on and on.

I really think the Soros Left Industrial Complex has figured out it doesn't take much money to buy off the opposition and are actively doing it.

479 We keep saying that the left is waging war against its "political enemies." We are not seeing what time it is. The left does not have "political" enemies. It has only "enemies" -- full stop. We must understand this. I think far too many conservatives still think we can reach some kind of detente with the left. We cannot. We never could. We must understand this.

Not a single rank and file GOP'er will oppose it.

My thoughts are that the immediate issue the left has is a resurrection of MAGA that derails their current plans. Remove Trump, his supporters and followers with threats of violence, actual violence and/or imprisonment. Many will fold.

I'll reframe it. Certain conspiracies happen routinely and are semi-public. An industry association conspires to defraud the public by getting regulators or politicians to favor them.

George Soros has his "Democracy Alliance" which is a band of billionaires trying to push their issues.

The rich act with class interest in the first place, and also have conspiracies and organization (which aren't precisely secret oftentimes) to do various things. So yes, they do coordinate.

548 I keep hearing suggestions that reasonable officials in one branch or another need to "resign this instant!"

Who, then, is left to make sure the whole thing doesn't go full Castro? Don't resign -- speak up, loudly, and give full reason for your objection to this anti-American shitshow. Make them fire you. Be a conscientious objector, not a quitter. It's like the anti-Strzok -- working as an insider in a way that keeps things on a rational path. Anything else is unnoticed, perceived surrender.

How anyone right of Chairman Mao can look at the state of leftwing politics, between the mutilation both physical and mental of schoolchildren, gleefully selling us out to the CCP, flooding the country with illegals, tanking our economy, and now declaring war on conservatives (rather than merely supporting the ongoing cultural cold war), and think that's not only conscionable but preferable to supporting a Trumpist party (again, whatever that means): Fuck you.

566 s/ Until I heard the President's speech, I had no idea how close we were to a totalitarian takeover of America by Trump and his vast military.

Now I understand that if we don't round up and kill republicans and conservatives, America is doomed.

I also agree with Biden that we should eliminate free speech so that misinformation can't be spread, as wrongthink will destroy the nation.

I was a Trump-voting conservative republican. But today I am going to sign up for Biden's newly created gestapo and help round up those anti-American republican/conservatives who insist on such anti-democratic things as voter ID, a secure border, enforcing immigration law, and applying the law evenly despite one's political affiliation. Obviously, each of those ideas is anti-democractic and authoritarian and implementing such ideas would destroy democracy.

I hope to be able to convince others. The obvious way to save democracy is to print and spend more money, decriminalize crime, limit speech, and ensure babies can be killed up to and including at birth.

Unfortunately for Ace, AP also knows Ace's true identity - so Ace can't Dox AP or AP will just Dox Ace.

I only know the term "stochastic" from printing. Instead of printing in the regular halftone patterns of CMYK inks, overlaying the dots arranged on different angles to combine to create an image, stochastic printing relies on the same size dots in more of a random, shotgun outlay. That way the patterns that sometimes occur in 4-color printing don't arise as often, distracting from the final image.

So, I can only infer that violent "stochastic" acts would be ones that are more random and unpredictable -- as to not show a pattern and reveal a coordination effort.

2. Should we remove "In God We Trust" from our coins?
3. Should it be permissible to deny admission to college to someone if they are an evangelical Christian?
4. Should Catholic churches be forced to pay income taxes?
5. Was it right for Twitter to censor the Hunter Biden laptop story prior to the 2020 election?
6. Is the constitution based on racism and if so should we have a re-do?
7. Is capitalism racist?
8. Should the FCC revoke Fox News's broadcast license?
9. Should Donald Trump be prevented from running again for President even if not charged with a crime or found guilty?
10. Is it justifiable for innocent people to die if it advances the cause of eliminating racism?

599 It's time to acknowledge that conservative ideologies exist beyond just monarchies and Fascism. That we've allowed history to be written such that all the average man knows is either a king or Hitler, is a failure on our part.

What exactly is wrong with saying that there are lesser men? It's a statement of fact. As Julius Evola might put it, Hitler's mistake was believing that the distinction was based on race. I think it's clear to everyone here that it is a distinction of the spirit. We embrace the reality of the cuckholdry of the neoconservative, why stop at calling them what they are?

Lesser creatures.

We are equal in the eyes of God only insofar as our salvation is concerned. In worldly matters, it's time to acknowledge that there are degrees of quality in man.

We are not equal on earth.

We are greater men. It's time to own it.
