What did you do yesterday?
Like many of you, I stayed up to about 4 AM on Wednesday morning to see if any late night shenanigans in Detroit, Philadelphia and Milwaukee would swing the race to Kamala Harris. Three hours later, I woke up to take my oldest son to school. Then I watched our youngest son until getting the opportunity to crash for the night and catch up on some much needed sleep.
It must have been a sad day for the activists who voted for this and who wanted to live under this woman for four years out of pure anti-social rage. Thankfully, the vast majority of White Americans including a majority of White women thought otherwise and voted for Trump for the third time.
Goodbye, Kamala.
That most married White women voted the same as their White husbands is heartening. There was that Kamala ad in which the two White women with Trumper husbands went into the booths and voted Kamala then allowed their husbands to think they voted Trump with the narrator saying “What happens in the booth stays in the booth”.. that White wives should lie to their husbands and vote opposite of them! Enraging! Promoting that sort of emasculation of White men and on the premise that White women would want to, likening it to an act of discreet infidelity in Vegas. F them! Scum.
Hey, Hunter. Been following since late 2019.
I admit, there’s a bit of optimism. Some pre-lockdown nostalgia and I broke out the remix of Never Come Down yesterday. Trump’s election to office back in 2016 had the odd effect of deradicalizing me from the accelerationist perspectives I had prior. That if “We the People” could vote and elect him on his somewhat populist platform that there was a chance we could heal the nation and repair/purify the system of its corruption rather than destroying it like many of the “Futurists” were prescribing. It wasn’t ever hope in Trump, but hope in the notion of “We the People”. I still believe this and have been very appreciative of your more… realistic stances on things these last few years. The “Shy Christian Nationalism” take a few back was spot on.
That all being said, it is a very cautious, uncertain optimism that I’ve been feeling, hiding some doubts deep inside that the real “winners” of this election were once again Israel. Though some friends and extended family are overjoyed, my inner family and I are still concerned and I have espoused that caution against complacency to all those in my circles since the race began, especially since they were “adamant” that it was the “last chance”.
At least with a Kamala victory there was the assurance of an accelerated destabilization. Maybe a little vindication, as I’ve spent today and yesterday overhearing vile left-wing rhetoric and coworkers, left-leaning associates and far friends hoping, even openly advocating for political violence and more assassination attempts.
It has helped me cement the notion that I will not get through to many of these left-leaning people, even those that I care deeply about and for, but with all that happened over the last four years, like you said, they “really wanted to live under her for four years out of pure antisocial rage.” Anyone who did who wasn’t an accelerationist is either a liar or living under a rock and those that are still living under rocks at this point I am convinced cannot be helped.
My biggest concern, however, is that the Trump victory that has been assured will make the majority of his voters complacent. As if his mere election to office is all America needed and forgetting about the J6ers, Ukraine, Israel, Covid, the erosion of our civil rights and tightening of the technocratic grip on our economy and infrastructure, among many other concerns. That if he really does wind up working against us and selling us out, that his voting base will quickly become enemies as deluded as the left has become. I suppose only time will tell.
I will anticipate the pardoning of the J6ers come January or perhaps sooner if possible.
Anyways, I do want to thank you for your work these past few years, you’ve been a voice of moderation, reason and hope for me. A middle ground I’ve sought to stick to, between the MAGAcons that have seemingly abandoned social traditions and racial awareness and the extremists advocating violent action.
@Hunter Wallace,
“Thankfully, the vast majority of White Americans including a majority of White women thought otherwise and voted for Trump for the third time.”
Hunter, it wasn’t even close to being a vast majority of White Americans who voted for Trump. The President elect got the single worst number of White voters since George H.W. Note, even George H.W. Bush lost them to our first and so far true populist candidate Ross Perot. With a paltry 54% as of last night, this is probably the worst share of White voters any Republican candidate has got in a bipartisan campaign in my entire lifetime. Only Romney comes close in 2012.
In contrast, after spending hundreds of billions of dollars on getting natural conservative Blacks, Asians, and Hispanics to vote Republican, and keeping the 2016 White identity Trump in the corner and mouth taped, the Trump campaign got a paltry 2% more of blacks (.0019 of the overall vote), and 7.5% more of the Hispanic vote (.00825 of the overall vote). I haven’t figured the per capita cost of this effort but its probably around $100,000-1,000,000 per vote in addition to the money spent on them generally.
Meanwhile, the White share of the electorate went up towards 72-74 percent. If he would’ve gotten the same share of the White vote as he got in 2016, it would’ve been the biggest landslide since Bush 2004. But, the RNC is determined to suppress any implicit let alone explicit White identity politics in elections. This is because of the donors. Its they who determine overall campaign policy strategy and where money goes to develop campaign networks which later influence policy post campaign.
We know the big donors in the GOP are about 25% Jewish, 30% Papist, 20% Yankees, and 25% other Prods and Mormons. We know most are liberal, the remainder split between ethno-sectarian conservatives. We know most are not big on White identity, let alone White American identity (WASP). But, arguably, one could get a significant if not majority portion of the Protestant faction to go along, say at around 60-65% of them. This would translate into retaining 25% at least of the big donor network.
That leads to figuring how much smaller donations have impacted the GOP and Trump campaigns. I haven’t broke down the donors amount, but a significant portion came from small donations. Trump is in fact the small donor king. Back in 2020-2022 he managed to get an unbelievable amount of money. I mean we are talking in the billions.
The question is how much is the small donor money, where is the small donor money going, how much did Trump use on actual campaigning, why didn’t he use it on building the White populist network, and could it, when combined with the remaining Big Donor network, had been sufficient to campaign effectively. When doing this it should never be forgotten that Trump won the 2016 Primary on about $90,000,000 whereas everyone else was in the billions?
You want to figure out the inside game? Study the finances of these campaigns. Study the donor and staff network coalitions that get built by them. Then try to replicate the same thing for White Southern Patriots. What you will find is we can do for a fraction of the cost what billions are spent on Blacks, Asians, Hispanic and Blaise White voter outreach efforts with a far more bigger bang. 54% of the White vote is not only pathetic, its embarrassing. There needs to be a post mortum down on the Trump’s campaign’s failure to get the traditional White vote.
Note, Whites went back up to around 62-65% of their voters voting from the 59% previously, but its still far below the 70% they got in the 1960s. We need to replicate that era especially in the South.
P.S. These are preliminary figures they can change as more analysis is done.

You’re a good dad, HW. About the shenanigans, I’ve read some reports that the Trump team actually took some actions to stop a lot of them and minimize the net result of others. If so, that’s a possible hopeful sign that he might have actually learned some lessons from what happened four years ago. There is no way in hell that there was not absolute massive fraud in 2020. A chart appeared of the vote counts recently that bears this out. For the record, I’ve never denied this. My position then (and now) is that the massive fraud was the result of Trump (and the folks he hired) totally failed to deal with it – just as they failed in dealing with the trial-run for the operation in 2018. In other words, they only had themselves to blame for it.
The GOP held to a consent-decree they agreed to in the 1980s which effectively ordered them not to fight any fraudulent election activity in precious dindoo districts. The blackrobe POS who authored the decree finally croaked so it expired sometime in the Trump administration. So at least Trump’s election team actually took some serious steps to win this time around.
As Tree of Woe has noted the usual suspects still have plenty of tricks up their sleeves so a Trump presidency is not by any means a guaranteed thing, though his win of the popular vote lessens the chances of the usual suspects being able to overturn the electoral votes as readily as they might have if the whore had actually won the popular vote. They can lock him up on felony charges, which might be used to overturn the result – or they can use the whole “insurrection” argument – total BS that it is. The whore conceding is a good sign as is the ventriloquist dummy’s promise of a smooth transition (e.g. we’ll be too busy shredding evidence of our multiple crimes to put up much of a fight).
What do Willie Brown and the 2024 election have in common ?
???????????????????
Kamala blew both.
It wasn’t a bad concession speech. In fact it was the only part of her campaign that wasn’t a shit-show. Ironically the Democrats would have been better off sticking with Biden as their nominee. Then, after his second inauguration, they could have replaced him with Kamala at their leisure.
