FWIW, both of VDARE’s founders were on the masthead of the National Review in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Peter Brimelow was also a staffer for Senator Orrin Hatch. This white nationalist thread has been present in the conservative movement for a long time. Screenshot is from 1997.

SCHIFF: You told my staff you stood by your article in white nationalist website VDARE where you wrote, 'Muslim immigrants & their kids seem prone to terrorism' C: I wrote that article in support of Trump's travel ban S: Do you stand by it? C: I stand by that article S: That's all I need to know

one of the main reasons I hate the whole focus on legalizing weed for medical purposes is bc it makes it sound like using it recreationally is somehow morally wrong, or that cannabis is always a medicine--it's fine to just get a little high, plants don't always have to be medicine to justify use

there's a lot of people across the political spectrum who simply cannot process the fact that ethnicity is a social construct, that many ethnicities did not exist within the lifetime of living people, and that nevertheless ethnicity is an extremely real thing that ppl will kill or die for

I think it's both true that Israel is a colonial project that continues to engage in colonialism and that Israeli identity is in fact a real thing. The notion that without Israel all the Israelis would embrace their true wholesome identity as Europeans or Arabs or whatever is complete lunacy

it has been pretty weird seeing so many people release public statements in support of Father Pfleger over the sexual abuse accusation before any facts whatsoever about the investigation are publicly known

my cousin was listening to an angry video trying to explain why indiana jones would absolutely never vote for trump and im not sure why the video didnt just start and end with 'he is a professor of archaeology.'

The way we're supposed to listen to this guy 35 years after his one achievement is incredible. Pat Caddell (Carter's Carville) was by 1992 a pariah in the Democratic Party, and he ended up on Brietbart, Fox News, and the Trump campaign. They all do this. You can just stop listening to them.

James Carville isn’t even good at what he got famous for anymore (folksy bullshit that appeals to consultants who think southern people are some kind of pixie), now he just goes on TV to go “you’d probably be happy if I killed myself”
