It's well known that white liberals are the fucking worst. Bill Maher has a good segment on it:

it’s good that they openly admit their racism in that poll. degenerates are likely descendants of robert byrd and the like

"The liberal political order and worldview is grounded in the politics of fear, in the belief and attempts at creating an all-powerful state that insulates people of every existential risk or uncertainty in life. Trump's and Sander's populism appeals to a very different emotion than fear, it appeals to people's desire for dignity and being recognized. Instead of looking forward, the Democratic party has chosen to nominate Biden, a dead-on-arrival president who promises nothing but a throwback to an older status quo, nothing but a return to these politics of fear which have run their course."


It's a weird text tbh. The premise (liberal politics = politics of fear) is not very convincing imho, and the text is far too long-winded and confused, it really lacks a golden thread. Despite all that, the text contains about 6 or so sentences/statements/one-liners that I consider absolutely brilliant and spot-on.






White liberals indeed are the worst. They are the only self-loathing group in America, the only group that is biased against itself:




Neither blacks, hispanics, asians nor conservative or centrist whites have a negative in-group bias. Only white liberals. However, white liberals are the group that runs most of the media and academia, and thus exerts a huge influence on the public discourse and the direction of the country.

First off, equating the political system of more freedom, more openness, more trade and cooperation with other countries, with "fear", is so stupid that I don't even know what else to say. It's completely backwards.

Next, if Joe Biden is a throwback to an older status quo, what is Trump's message of Make America Great Again supposed to be? Trump's whole message was appealing to people's nostalgia about the "good ol' days".

It's also a little absurd when the editor of a conservative website seems to confuse the different definitions of liberal. A liberal political order typically means something very different than big government progressivism. Anyhow, if his silly psychological analysis about liberals creating an all-powerful state to cope with the fear of death is true, why wouldn't a self-proclaimed socialist win? Bernie promises a more powerful state than Biden. More safety and comfort.

Those are just a few objections. I agree with your characterization of it.

I think more people care about the fact that he is near senile than his skin colour.

Biden leading Trump 49-41 in MI, 50-42 in PA.

😆 polls 😆

Fox News polls tend to be relatively unfavorable for Trump, relative to other pollsters. It should be noted that the pollster Fox News is using is of high quality and nonpartisan.



If Biden still leads Trump by 8% in these two states in October, then Trump is prolly done. However, we're so far out from the election, and in such a volatile public health, economic and political environment that everything is still up in the air.
The two most relevant and likely throw-over-scenarios I see are, first, Trump completely going off the rails in his handling of the coronavirus pandemic, and second, Biden imploding on the campaign trail and at the debates when he cant hide his mental decline.

Btw, am I the only one seeing the irony in Joe Biden, of all people, using the slogan "our best days still lie ahead"?

Being a D i feel like I'm watching my football team lose to another team that has zero victories.
