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.
Im 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 partys commitment to civil rights, womens 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 Breitbarts 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:

He wants to kill off us old uppity slaves and get new ones of a different color for a more energetic future.
Those lefties just never change.
Utter insanity and exactly where our perverted PC society is heading = Mao's mass murder "cultural revolution", Kehmer Rouge, murder of "undesirables" and "intellectuals". Only this time we = patriotic, Christian, God-fearing American citizens, especially whites are their intended target of elimination "for the betterment of (their twisted and perverse) 'society'".
They can provide universal health care like they do in Vermont.
I find it hilarious that this idiot is mentioning states that are overwhelming white.

Lie. There is no more universal healthcare in VT. It didn’t work.
Breitbart is considered a Cuck source by many now.

I don’t think so.
“Hospice.” That must be why the opioid epidemic had been allowed to swing its death scythe through our communities unchecked.
They want the white working class to die off quickly and quietly.
...Because nothing makes citizens want to embrace immigrants like a bunch of socialists openly bragging about using immigration as a tool to exterminate citizens.
From my point of observation, the man is talking about New York state. The state is sick and there are cities and towns with lots of white folks that are terminal. Hospice is needed to care for the old people unable or unwilling to leave.
The question is can a city survive on Social security and pension income?
There was a great push to sell New York with all kinds of benefits, tax relief etc for new business. I think it failed
There are no citizens without a civil society and the word “society” itself confers the meaning on the term. They are reciprocal meanings.
There are cultures without cities but they never produce a civilization. Or have citizens, only tribal affiliations.
Review the constitution and you will find the term “natural born citizen” and the word “citizen” in over ten places prior to the 14th amendment.
The word ORIGINATED in relation to cities. Its use since then has not been that specific. This includes Rome which actually proves the point since initially no one was a Roman citizen unless he was actually a Roman. Same is true with Athens. Rome also had limited citizenship with no political rights.
I never claimed all people living in a city were citizens which is implied in your comment about slaves, etc.
Expansion of the term to include those living in the provinces and other cities was the result of the wars leading up to the Empire. After the citizenship was granted (think honorary) it was as a member of the Roman Empire.
Black’s Law Dictionary derives civil from civilis - a citizen. It is the combination of rights which makes a citizen.
We may too far in the weeds here.
It is amusing to hear you claim that the GOP “pandered” to urban areas when you can find very few Republicans elected in the last 60 years from urban areas.
The founding fathers never thought of political parties at all prior to 1790. They were concerned about “factions” not parties. Hamilton’s success under Washington instigated the formation of the Democrat-Republican Party, the ancestor of today’s Democrat Party. Madison turned his back on Federalist 10 wherein factions would be checked by countervailing factions.
Federalism was clearly designed to check democratic tendencies in majority rule. I agree that getting rid of state appointments to the Senate was a blow to the concept of the founders and has not helped our nation.
“None dare call them Nazis.”
I do.
Actually, this brand of Nazism is worse than the originals were.
The other side of the Island of Hispaniola is the Dominican Republic. They have a very small white population and the majority of the population are considered mulattoes. The Dominican Republic may be poor but it is rich compared to Haiti. The Dominicans do not care for the Haitians.
It’s not Capehart who used the phrase “hospice care.” It’s Justin Gest, an academic Capehart was interviewing. And Capehart says it’s something Gest sees as a “way forward.” Capehart doesn’t object, but he doesn’t say he sees it as a solution. Capehart isn’t sticking up for the people Gest dismisses — he’s not indignant about “hospice care” for the White working class — but the idea aren’t his.
And we do it in a smart way.
well, ‘cept for Picketts Charge...
