While Donald Trump has called on the GOP to become a “worker’s party”— a development Sen. Jeff Sessions called for two years ago, ironically, in the pages of the National Review— French has defended the idea that white working-class communities “deserve to die.”
Specifically, French wrote a piece in support of Kevin D. Williamson, who had said:
The truth about these dysfunctional, downscale communities is that they deserve to die. Economically, they are negative assets. Morally, they are indefensible. Forget all your cheap theatrical Bruce Springsteen crap. Forget your sanctimony about struggling Rust Belt factory towns and your conspiracy theories about the wily Orientals stealing our jobs. Forget your goddamned gypsum, and, if he has a problem with that, forget Ed Burke, too. The white American underclass is in thrall to a vicious, selfish culture whose main products are misery and used heroin needles. Donald Trump’s speeches make them feel good. So does OxyContin. What they need isn’t analgesics, literal or political. They need real opportunity, which means that they need real change, which means that they need U-Haul.
French insists that the devastation of the working-class’ livelihoods is unrelated to failed federal policies such as mass immigration:
[I] have seen the challenges of the white working-class first-hand. Simply put, Americans are killing themselves and destroying their families at an alarming rate. No one is making them do it. The economy isn’t putting a bottle in their hand. Immigrants aren’t making them cheat on their wives or snort OxyContin. Obama isn’t walking them into the lawyer’s office to force them to file a bogus disability claim.
When readers responded with outrage to French’s piece, French doubled down in a post entitled “The Great White Working-Class Debate: Just Because I’m ‘Nasty’ Doesn’t Mean I’m Wrong.”

Its not ‘White working class’ communities that deserves to die.
Don’t vote for this David French guy, whoever he is.
You are missing the point. He’s not talking about the people legitimately out of work and legitimately looking.
They're supposed to enroll at Stanford and CalTech, and begin second careers as coders.
I read the articles. He’s talking about people who have been displaced because of policies HE backs: open borders & free trade.
I hope he held himself to the same standards. But the lack of trust certainly goes against his and Williamson’s theories that only the lowly working class is capable of deceit and dishonor.
He’s not talking about people at all. He’s talking about wigets. Some wigets are the wrong color.
Quick death or slow starvation, slavery, government dependence -- it is a genocide nonetheless. The killing of a civilization.
Now that the genocidal maniacs are coming out so strongly against the voters, the voters can see plainly how treasonous these people are against the USA and its citizens.
Make America Great Again -- anyone against this plan needs to be exiled, at the least.
“Gore Vidal once said that the Chief Editor of the New York Times and the CEO of GM don’t need to actually conspire, because they both think the same sort of thoughts in the first place, otherwise they would not even be in the positions they are in. I think I see the same thing at work here. “
It’s what Tom Bethell and Joe Sobran called “The Hive”.
Yup....my 55 year old neighbor, who’s job was taken over by a cheap labor worker from India, should pack up & move across country cause some Adam Smith bow-tie uber alles idiot thinks he’s a lazy bastard & should learn to adjust to massive third world immigration & so-called free trade.
Link/source for his support of open borders and free trade?
“Nor does a focus on personal responsibility mean that the government or cultural elite are blameless. Far from it, and I’ve written at length about the role of progressive culture and progressive policies in cultural decline. I loathe the progressive welfare state and the elitist sexual revolutionaries who do all they can to create a culture that is simultaneously dependent and self-indulgent. I hate the mockery that poor and working-class people of all races endure, but we live in a nation of mutual responsibilities, and the failure of the government does not require the failure of the citizen.”
Read it again. He’s talking about people who have given up, are collecting disability fraudulently, collecting unemployment and/or not looking for a job because it takes effort, are horrible role models and take no interest in their kids.
“Excellent observations on our current troubles. When you divorce culture, heritage & family from the marketplace people become interchangeable parts...”
That attitude is one that Limbaugh has embraced for years. His conservatism has always been skewed towards the monetary more than the cultural. It’s one reason that for more than a decade he couldn’t be bothered to lift a finger to fight the immigration wars.
You read it again, or better yet, read how he treats his wife. I don’t put blame on lower class whites who are trying to survive any way they can. You are aware that it’s OFFICIAL government policy to discriminate against white males in employment. You flood a nation with 40 million people from the third world & steal the lower end jobs from the natives expect people to do anything to get by.
Doesn’t look like an open borders guy to me.
“Obama isn’t walking them into the lawyer’s office to force them to file a bogus disability claim.”
Yeh, right...Wanna look up some stats re how disability UNDER Iman HUSSEIN OBAMA Al Chic Ago has gone sky high compared to other years?
Ol’ Valerie said so-—We’re gonna take care of our friends,punish our enemies RIGHT after his Highness won..The ripoff continues !!!! Go VAL GO !!!
Rush has always been a personal mess. He has indeed stayed away from the immigration issue over the years.
Why are we talking about his wife all of a sudden?
I put the blame on anyone who wallows in the self-pity of allowing the gov’t to take care of them because they are too lazy to do something for themselves and their families, and so is David French in this article.
Neocons are Trotskyites. They are experienced in eliminating unwanted and troublesome populations that cling to their guns and Jesus. See their population elimination experiments in communist Russia.
Good....vote for him.
First his wife and now this? How about that link/source for him being an open borders/free trade guy? Or are you just repeating some nonsense you saw someone else here post without any proof?
