The Vibe Shifts Against the Right

[berg80]

Nathan Cofnas, a right-wing philosophy professor and self-described “race realist” fixated on group differences in I.Q., wrote on X, “All over the world, almost everyone with more than half a brain is looking at the disaster of Trump (along with Putin, Yoon Suk Yeol, et al.) and drawing the very reasonable conclusion that right-wing, anti-woke parties are incapable of effective governance.” (Yoon Suk Yeol is South Korea’s recently impeached president.)

Scott Siskind, who blogs under the pseudonym Scott Alexander, has been an influential figure in Silicon Valley’s revolt against social justice ideology, though he’s never been a Trump supporter. Last week, he asked whether “edgy heterodox centrists” like himself paved the way for Trump by opening the door to once-verboten arguments. In an imaginary Socratic dialogue, he wrote, “We wanted a swift, lean government that stopped strangling innovation and infrastructure. Instead we got chain-saw-style firings, total devastation of state capacity in exactly the way most likely to strangle innovation more than ever, and the worst and dumbest people in the world gloating about how they solved the ‘grift’ of sending lifesaving medications to dying babies.”

Opinion | The Vibe Shifts Against the Right

People who once found right-wing ideas scintillating are having second thoughts as they watch Trump put those ideas into practice.

Anecdotal? Yes. A sign of disenchantment from elements on the Right's fringe? Yes.

More importantly, in the grand scheme their observations are correct.

OMG berg take a break, the dogs don't like the democrat dog food.

Democrats are TOXIC, face facts. Whining about Trump isn't winning any voters.

The Constitution doesn't say anything about medical research, does it?

That's what pharmaceutical companies do for a living, DUH.

Of course it does. The right are disappearing people without trial, charges or conviction for indefinite imprisonment in foreign gulags that they insist the judiciary has no authority to review.

And are calling for AMERICAN CITIZENS to be 'deported' to the same foreign gulags.

We have nonsense tariffs that are damaging our economy, alienating our allies, damaging or ending our relationships with our trading partners, and demonstrating us to be unreliable partners.

We have doctors preparing for the return of measles and whooping cough due to a conspiracy theorist head of HHS.

We have targets, timing, and weapons used to attack our enemies shared with the press in REAL TIME and BY ACCIDENT due to naked incompetence. With the crisis management of that inexcusable blunder demonstrating our incompetence further.

We have the US economy being the envy of the western world at the end of last year. And now facing a 50% chance of recession, with our stock markets vacillating wildly, massive new taxes applied to our people, and an incoherent trade policy that no one can follow, applied on a whim.

Its hackneyed, amateur-hour dipshittery...and its been less than 90 days. And its getting worse.

The illegal gangsters have more rights than the people railroaded as insurrectionists for Jan. 6. Progs need to change somewhat. Too much pride in agendas that have failed or have cost the nation to much.

What did you expect would happen when the left started jailing people for 20+ years for rioting and giving capitol cops free reign to execute unarmed people?

 

[Skylar]

So the reason that you are disappearing people with NO trial, NO charges, NO arraignments, NO hearings, NO legal representation and imprisoning them despite ZERO convictions of any crime in foreign gulags......

Is because J6 defendants DID receive charges, DID get arraignments, DID get hearings, DID have legal representation, and for hundreds DID receive sentences through plea deals and jury trials and DIDN'T get sent to foreign gulags?

Y'all are raising the false equilancy fallacy to an art form.

If they can disappear an illegal with no hearing to foreign prisons......they can disappear you, CA. As if MAGA snatches you off the street, when would you ever be able to protest your innocence of charges they NEVER levy, in front a judge you NEVER see?

Most of that is bullshit, so you need not be so hysterical.

179 of these people have been convicted of NO CRIME. They had no charges, no arraignments, no hearings, no legal representation, and per the MAGA faithful, no judicial review.

And yet they've been snatched off the street and shipped off to foreign gulags Indefinitely.

And MAGA cheers at these indefensible violations of basic rights, delighted that people are just snatched off the street and imprisoned despite NO CHARGES of any kind.

Of course the vibe is going to turn against the right, you collaborator you.

U.S. sent 238 migrants to Salvadoran mega-prison; documents indicate most have no apparent criminal records

The U.S. sent 238 Venezuelan migrants to a Salvadoran mega-prison. The Trump administration says they're all gang members, but 60 Minutes could find no criminal records for 75% of them.

www.cbsnews.com

Its shocking how comfortable you and your ilk are just snatching people off the street with NO charges, NO hearings, NO trials, NO legal representation, stripping them of every right and just disappearing them to foreign gulags despite no convictions of ANY crimes.

Now Trump wants to ship off American citizens to the same gulags.

And your ilk just cheers. Remember when y'all at least used to give empty lip service to concepts like freedom, liberty, and due process?
