This Skagg 3 guy’s hilarious analysis of the first Portland State student Trump supporters’ meeting shut down by volunteer social justice auxiliaries provides the backstory for the larger confrontation in downtown Portland the following Saturday:

Diary: "Bernie, Bro!"

The James Cromwell-lookalike with the siren spent a good hour following around and drowning out pro-Trump speakers (for a frail old player he was effective boxing out in the Paint, I mean Hate). I broke away from him here and from across the square I see this guy heckling Trumpenproles and I can’t help but messContinue reading “Diary: "Bernie, Bro!"”

America, Hate it or Leave it

More footage from the fracas.I would be willing to match dollar for dollar the Go Fund Me to help the loudly suffering welp at the start there to Go Fuck Off. If Trump wins we could start a sort of manumission society for those weary of America’s lash; we could set them up for yearsContinue reading “America, Hate it or Leave it”

Anarchy in the PDX

This is some footage I took from competing pro-Trump/anti-Trump demonstrations in Portland.Note the amped-up kid at the beginning reassuring his friend, apparently, that he won’t go overboard because “my facemask is off.” Puh-leeeze. There’s an Alex Jones video of the event out there that features an Iranian immigrant, pro-Trump grandmother, and I’ll be damned ifContinue reading “Anarchy in the PDX”

Notes on the Stumpening

America’s future announced its arrival yesterday, shutting down Donald Trump’s Chicago rally. It was a heartwarmingly diverse group–Hispanics, Muslims prominent, shrill white college students, and blacks leading the way. Barack Obama’s vision, to which Paul Ryan would enthusiastically accede on economic principle, of who should wield political power and how. Notably, among the ethnic allianceContinue reading “Notes on the Stumpening”

The Yuge and the Jews

Jewish opposition to Donald Trump has been predictable and fierce. With some dissent, such as Mickey Kaus’ long-running, heroic immigration criticism, the consensus seems to have been immediate: Donald Trump is bad for the Jews. Opposition would appear to have everything to do with the immigration issue first and, maybe more deeply, unease for Trump’sContinue reading “The Yuge and the Jews”

Projectionism

Psychological projection doesn’t get its sociological due.I take the liberty of applying “projection” to the broader tendency to project onto others our own motivations and desires that is a natural, unavoidable psychological adaptation to society, not the displacement of Freudian projection. We don’t know anyone as we know ourselves and, while vanity may skew ourContinue reading “Projectionism”

Where’s Gratitude?

The Left denies the agency of “oppressed” groups, forever acted upon, never acting. This is necessary in direct correlation to the negative effects of a given group’s actions. No one is seen as having less autonomy than black Americans, for instance, as a group or individually. It’s practically a source of pride for those whoContinue reading “Where’s Gratitude?”
