The Lingering Darkness of the Alt-Right [Barf]
National Review ^ | August 13, 2018 | David French

Posted on 08/15/2018 6:58:14 AM PDT by C19fan

It’s easy to laugh at this weekend’s Unite the Right rally. It was pathetic. Media outnumbered white supremacists, and counterprotesters outnumbered the media. If that’s the alt-right in 2018, then public white supremacy in the United States is reverting back to its pre-2015 norm — when you could always find a couple dozen neo-Nazis to march somewhere, but you’d rarely see the kind of numbers we watched in Charlottesville. But as the alt-right fades (for now), let’s not forget its legacy. And let’s not turn our heads from its malignant influence. Consider what happened between 2015 and yesterday’s pitiful march.

A couple of dozen Democrat ‘white supremacists”.

Don’t you love when they describe witnessing “casual racism”, but then don’t give any details on what exactly they think that means.

French was the “Never Trump Republicans who can fit into in a phonebooth” gang’s candidate for President until he found out he hadn’t convinced his wife to vote for him, then they switched to Beldar Conehead, who went by the Earth name of Evan McMullin and got about as far. He writes for National Review, a once great mag under Bill Buckley which has now declined into nothingness as the subsidized rag of the Chamber of Commerce and their acolytes.

The establishment are not conservative, nor were they since the advent of “progressive” politicking.

French is cut from the same cloth as Kristol: a globalist, anti-nationalist, open borders neocon.

Whites who are dumb enough to embrace Nazis are small in number.

Whites who are against being put at the back of every line are not.

Whites who are against being treated as villains are not.

Correct and succinct. Rich Lowry flew it into the ground.

Richard Spencer is proabortion, atheist, prosocialized medicine, pro big government, pro-Democrat, anti-Reagan. What puts him ‘on the Right’?

Breitbart, one of the most-trafficked sites in conservatism, became — according to Steve Bannon — the “platform for the alt-right.”

Aw geez, not again. One guy said that, one time, and it's their version of "if you like your doctor..."

What a fool.
The train has left the station long ago for both Parties.
It would have been vastly different if the GOP-e hadn’t hooked their future to the Bush Family.

The “alt-right” is the exact same as Antifa and the Democrats, other than on the issues of immigration, gun control, gay rights/marriage, tranny stuff, drug legalization, porn, abortion, traditional family structures and sex roles, affirmative action, economics, and feminism.

Professional Cuck David French whoring after approval from the Establishment again.

Truly a stupid pathetic piece that shows just how politically corrupt and irrelevant “Conservative Inc” has become

Charlottesville was theater. If you dug you'd find that DNC operatives conspired to get them there and paid for the bus tickets.

Mr. French needs to consider that a snipe hunt is seldom successful twice in a row. If you can’t find any white supremacists, maybe it’s because they’re not out there. And naming someone a white supremacist for disagreeing with you isn’t going to make him travel to any marches.

The dumbkopf that Bill Kristol wanted to run against Trump? Where’s the column by Egg McMuffin?
