Not necessarily. Obama grovelled before AIPAC before his election, but he did resist the Zionist, Sunni terrorist loving agenda both from outside the administration and from low life like John Kerry and Hilary Clinton within. And he paid a high political price for not completely rolling over for the Jewish supremacist establishment. A third Obama term would have been preferable to Trump and Hilary.

The Alt-Right Cuts Ties With Donald Trump

This is too consistent and across-the-board to be a misunderstanding. The latest changes reflect a sea change in Trump policy: 1) deprecate the President Bannon meme 2) allow McMaster to consolidate his hold over the foreign policy sphere 3) relegate economic nationalism and America firstism to a footnote including other abandoned Trump rhetorical strategies 4) eliminate relics of slash-and-burn rightism and return to GOP standard practice.

Pretty much. There's nothing more to it.

Michael Moore had the same sentiment about why Trump would win. If anything, we should pay attention to labor unions more than the alt-right.

Why the Alt-Right Hates Trump’s Syria Strike


I don't entirely buy this since in contrasts against the idea of upholding Judeo-Christian tradition in Western Civilization. If anything, it's more likely that the alt-right is composed of strawmen subversives who are trying to twist the right from the inside out. The left would point out those strawmen as indicative of the mutation of the right into something sinister.

There are probably many followers in the alt-right who have genuinely fallen for this, but the leadership of the movement isn't genuine. If anything, it's shameful that this type of strawman subversion was attempted. The left has been too awkward to confront mainstream conservatism.

I think for Syria, Trump gets a pass, because his actions will deter Assad from creating the massive refugee problems the alt-right ultimately opposes too. So they are a small faction and split. Russia and Iran's reaction is telling about why Obama didn't have the balls to do something quite like that, and instead quietly went around doing his precision strikes. If Russia and Iran feel threatened, Trump is in a stronger position on the global stage even though the alt-right won't like it. Clearly, the necons loved it, and this has shattered their Russian puppet mantra, which was absurd anyway. Trump more or less had to take action, because he was conciliatory towards Assad and his military interpreted that as a license to use poison gas.

Militarily, I think the attack was too expensive. The use of Tomahawks is quite expensive. JDAMs are much cheaper, and Russian air defences apparently did nothing to stop the Tomahawks. So I would have been more inclined to a few B2s with F22 escorts. A B2 can carry 80 GBU-39s (500lb SDBs) or 16 GBU 31s (2000lb). So maybe the cost was more inspired by having a more instant reaction. As far as I could tell from the BDA, they didn't even crater the runway.

Politically, I think Trump's achilles heel is Obamacare-lite. Trump won with alt-right support, but not because of it. Blue collar workers in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan and Wisconsin aren't alt right voters. Where Trump could be in trouble is going along with the Chamber of Commerce and RomneyCare in lieu of ObamaCare. Too much of the country doesn't want ObamaCare-lite for it ever to become a political winner. Trump seems to be trying to bargain with tax cuts and something on health care jointly. If he doesn't make reforms that actually cut the cost of health care, it will be a political loser for him.

I had my cousin and her husband out for dinner this weekend. Flaming liberals. They hate Trump, but they hate ObamaCare making them have maternity coverage at 55 with no kids in addition to pediatric coverage. So even flaming liberals who hate Trump detest the costs of ObamaCare.

As I've said, only three things seem to be more expensive now than in the past: government, education and health care. They are all protected by the establishment, they are too expensive, and far too ineffective to justify their cost. So far, Trump has shown an appetite to cut government size, but he seems as liberal as Democrats on healthcare, and I think that's going to be a deal killer for him--something, I don't think he understood or is quite prepared to deal with now.

Well I think you're correct, since the much of the alt-right is really the alt-light. It's probably harder for liberals to address a bunch of kids that like to shitpost on /pol/ and reddit and are more obsessed with anime and cartoon frogs than they are with ethno-nationalism. Are the Richard Spencer types subversives? Not entirely sure but they are easy targets.

I'll put it this way.

When Spencer got punched in the face, the puncher came off as a ruggedly individualist conservative while Spencer came off as a hipster liberal.

I'm much more inclined to believe there was subversion and counter-subversion taking place than a genuine event.

Muslims are primarily to blame, but influential Jewish Supremacists manipulate the evil of Islam for their own ends. Israel wants perpetual war in Syria, Assad is doing relatively well at the moment, that's the reason that uncle tom Gentile Donald Trump is using America's planes as the Sunni Arab terrorist's air-force in Syria.


And grovelled to the blood-dripping thug in Rydiah over the phone. The epicenter of Islamist terrorism is there; and excludes Saudi Arabia from his travel ban. Cynically citing 9/11 as justification, and whooooops, most of the hijackers came from Saudi Arabia. AND he has businesses there. Not a coincidence IMO.

Well, promises and actions are different things.
Zionists did not believe him, and so did his former supporters, they hoped that he was just paying lip service.

Now we know that he is just a usual puppet, and the puppet masters are not "them Russians"...

Now Trump has to do something even bigger, speak support the ethnic cleansing of occupied land and move the embassy to Jerusalem, which is not even an Israeli city according to the International Law.
