‘Political Hospice’ Is ‘Way Forward’ For White Working Class, Says WashPo Editor
Breitbart ^ | 6/6/2017

Posted on 06/07/2017 6:24:59 PM PDT by Altura Ct.

A pro-immigration advocate says the hard-hit mostly white working-class communities in the United States must be wheeled into “political hospice care,” and a Washington Post columnist commended his solution “as a way forward.”

“Economic dislocation and demographic changes are fueling discomfort and desperation among white working-class voters,” wrote WashPo columnist and editorial board member Jonathan Capehart, continuing:

While [university professor and author] Justin Gest says that both Republicans and Democrats have exploited these voters, he sees a way forward.

“The only way of addressing their plight is a form of political hospice care,” [Gest] said. “These are communities that are on the paths to death. And the question is: How can we make that as comfortable as possible?”

Capehart declined to answer questions from Breitbart about his statement that “hospice care” for mostly white working-class communities is “a way forward” for the nation. He declined to suggest alternative policies or to suggest which of the progressives’ political goals could be traded to win support for white working-class voters in 2020.

The offer of political elimination to working-class communities has prompted anger even from some left-wing writers, such as Martin Longman at The Washington Monthly.

I’m not saying the whole Democratic Party feels this way, but the default position among a lot of progressives since the election has been that to even talk about these folks is to pander to their racism and dilute the party’s commitment to civil rights, women’s rights, gay rights, and the environment. If we want to draw up our battle lines like that, then they sure as s*** are going to take the hint…

...Gest responded to Breitbart’s questions by doubling down, saying immigrants can replace American consumers, workers, and children, and also that expert advice will soothe American communities during their government-managed exit:

“Political hospice” sounds like a PC way to refer to concentration camps.

In the 1960s youth oriented exploitation film "Wild In The Streets" the voting age was lowered to 14, a young president/rock star was elected, and those over 30 were sent to political gulags where they were zonked on LSD "where they can't hurt anyone anymore!"

Here's the trailer:

Unfortunately, the Washington Post’s Justin Gest/Jonathan Capehart position is very similar to the National Review’s Kevin D. Williamson.

Washington Post: “The only way of addressing their plight is a form of political hospice care,” [Gest] said. “These are communities that are on the paths to death. And the question is: How can we make that as comfortable as possible?”

National Review: “The truth about these dysfunctional, downscale communities is that they deserve to die” (March 2016)

There is a reason that Trump is President, instead of Hillary or a GOP establishment candidate. The policy positions of the democrats and the GOP establishment are similarly aligned against the American citizen.

The authors believe the Nation’s problems are the result of the White culture including the working class. While Domestic Terror is at a fever pitch and Blacks indiscriminately slaughtering Black, Whites and Browns, these idiots are blind to the damage done Civilization.

Secondly, the fact that it helped elect Trump is further proof to these degenerates.

"It won’t be long until killing whitey begins."

Until??? Try "driving white" into any majority black urban area after midnight (or after dark in some locales) and see what happens.

Not practical.

There are economies of scale every activity has to consider.

Not to mention the requirements of the Division of Labor.

Large cities have a vast array of talents not available in small towns. Cities which succeed are constantly innovating and creating new businesses and jobs.

We need to take a cultural break and read poetry.

Perhaps some Kipling?

The appropriate response is to plan the very same thing for them and then make it happen.

These people *really* don't get (or care) what happened in 2016, do they?
I keep thinking of Kipling's "When The Saxon Learned to Hate" The Wrath of the Awakened Saxon.

It's a very thought-provoking poem, as is the Norman and Saxon — but the real question is if the Saxon is learning to hate, because until the general populous is ready to decorate lampposts with the politicians that have created, encouraged, and even merely failed to oppose the injustices being perpetrated on the general population [regardless of whether said politician is 'Democrat' or 'Republican'] I would say we/they have not truly learned to hate.

There are those who claim that hate is unchristian, they are fools and liars: The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate. [pv 8:13 KJV]

There are those who would exempt persons responsible for the situation because they're Republicans; good guys, not traitors like McCain!, but what these people don't realize is the people they are making excuses for certainly hold a share in the responsibility, and thus it is only Just that they hold share in the coming Judgement: they are either deceived or seek to prevent Justice.

Some towns are unrevivable - a mined-out Appalachian coal town on a back mountain road is done for. A cotton mill town or rust belt town - maybe not. Maybe some new economy can be built there.

Our betters are certainly willing to use taxpayer dollars to sustain economically unviable black communities, at least until they want to disperse the populace and gentrify the location. And they’re never clumsy enough to say hospice care then.
