Republican Is the New Punk

Republican Is the New Punk

Street artist Sabo may just be ‘some guy who lives in some dump,’ but he is taking on and taking down the likes of Jimmy Kimmel and Meryl Streep Los Angeles

It’s not much to look at from the outside, a dingy apartment building in a downwardly mobile stretch of burglar bars, psychics, and coin laundries. When asked the name of the neighborhood, one inhabitant classifies it as “no place in the middle of every place.”

It’s not much better on the inside. The guy I have come to see answers the door of his cheerless one-bedroom shirtless, in camo shorts and Chucks, while pulling on a white polo in order to appear less feral. He’s not a down-on-his-luck porn producer, though he used to work in the industry. He’s not some middle-aged gangbanger, though he could pass for one: solidly built with his name tattooed on his knuckles and a branding-iron mark singed into his chest. He is Sabo, America’s preeminent right-wing guerrilla street artist.

Pretty brave of him to reveal himself in this day and age of Democrap terrorism and violence. I hope he is armed.

“there’s a tattered Koran, which serves as his doorstop. It’s missing pages, since he’s used a few when out of toilet paper.”

Too bad it’s by a neverTrumper high upon his moral horse. 10 to 1 says if you find out who Matt Labash’s favorite three republican congressmen are, at least two of them have become millionaires on a congressman’s salary. Squeaky clean I tell ya.

Burglar bars?
Bars where burglars hang out when they’re not burgleing?
Well...it is California.

Hope the writer meant biker bars.

Or he might crank out cheeky T-shirts with the letters “DOU” next to a picture of Che’s face.

OK, what is "DOU"?

I searched for it and nothing seems to make sense with Che.

Republican was the ‘70s punk, too, idiot ‘90’s posers like Green Day notwithstanding.

The ethos of punk was “leave me the f*** alone.” Punk was even musically conservative, a return to three-chord ‘50’s songs, just noisier.

No-one associated punk with Republicans because it was pre-Reagan; the Republican party wasn’t conservative in the sense of being classically liberal. It was more associated with Wall Street than Main Street.

Gee, such an edgy and risky thing to say. Stupid Neocons latching onto something about a year-and-a-half late.

People who actually had a clue figured this out a long, long time ago.

Conservatism is the new counterculture: https://youtu.be/avb8cwOgVQ8 (from 2017)

Populism is the new Punk:
https://youtu.be/KmE0M9TOIxU (also from 2017)

Trouble is, the Weekly Standard will always just be lame.

Bill Kristol & Co can f off.
