Terrifyingly the American Election has descended into an Identity Politics culture war, where the white working poor, Nascar Brown Shirts and MAGA White Christian Nationalism is up against anyone with a reading age over 12.
It’s a United States of Angry Women vs Trump’s Wounded Masculinity America.
The most dangerous aspect of Identity Politics is the millisecond poor white people see themselves as the victim and that is what JD Vance represents, white working poor America turning on the promise of reform from the Democrats that never arrived.
Thanks to woke social media activists, the white working poor have been enlightened by how much that middle class elite hate them and social media hate algorithms and loneliness does the rest.
Trump politically understands resentment as well as Hitler did and he has understood the resentment of the white working poor who have had their American dream traded in for free market trade deals and neoliberal capitalism.
This is the power and the pain that JD Vance understands and channels…
…middle class identity politic activists benefit from the capitalist system, the white working poor are victims of it.
Vance is a client candidate of NZer and Global Libertarian Super Criminal Peter Thiel, he who created the mass surveillance Eye of Mordor Palantir and progresses an anti-democratic agenda to bring about a free market stateless utopia, Vance sees the state as a betrayer and Thiel’s agenda as a means to punish and break that betrayer and remake American Capitalism in the image of those white working poor who do the actual manual labour.
The Right have co-opted the victimhood mentality of Identity Politics and twisted it so that white people see themselves not as citizens or as a class, but as an identity that is victimised and under attack.
Look.
Sure Harris has a weird laugh.
Sure she regurgitates flakey wellness word salads.
Sure she is ‘insert here’, but she is NOT Donald Fucking Trump and that’s all that matters.
Would it have been better to have an actual Primary and battle test the candidate? In a perfect world sure, but we have Donald Fucking Trump and if the decision is to grant Harris a Coronation, then so be it!
Trump is an orange fascist who could dangerously destabilise the planet if he wins a second term.
My fear at this stage is that all the Democrats seem to have are sick cat memes and brat girl hashtags.
Look, if all this social media frenzy drags young people to the polls, great, but let’s not pretend that this is Trump’s to lose and the Polls are grim for Democrats…
…beyond the sick cat memes, there are 135million Americans living in poverty and just one crisis away from homelessness.
That’s 40% of the population.
Cat Memes are great, sweet Jesus no on wants to mess with Childless Women and Cat Memes, now do inequality, catastrophic climate change and Late Stage Capitalism.
We should be deeply frightened and deeply concerned at what happens in America this November.
Thanks to the Washington Consensus (that none of us consented to), our Government answers to the American Government so what happens in Washington matters to Wellington.
If Trump wins, if this Criminal President steals the election using culture war emotional manipulations, if this orange fascist wins via the ballot box what he couldn’t with violent over throw, if all that happens and Trump believing he is blessed by God wins, then the American Midnight begins and the planet darkens.
Martyn – Both Harris and Trump are bad news – I feel for Americans on this one
Trump is way worse. What the hell does he mean when he says Christians won’t need to vote again? The god botherers in the US are the Taliban
Not bothered. Lets not pretend the USA is a democracy anymore or ever has been, after all they have one more political party than “Communist” China.
Orange fascist? verses what? A party called the Democrats in name only.
I would suggest that the USA and the only democracy in the middle east is being exposed as a shitstain on humanity.
Arizona is awash with Trumpers and it truly beggars belief how stupid these people really are. Christopher Luxon has been a major promoter of ‘Am,erican style Politics’ in Aotearoa – we know he is tghat stupid! A vacuouis, fatuous, vainglorious little fellow with limited smarts…just street savvy hubris.
The planet is in such good geo-political shape now thanks to USA. Yeman is getting bombed Israel is being given the armaments it needs to commit genocide in Gaza, Ukraine is being given just enough armaments to grind out a lose-lose war with Russia and USA ships and aircraft are patrolling off the coast of China. How can Trump make that worse.
The white working class and the middle class are victims. Inflation and a virtual open border are destroying the one thing, almost the only thing, these men can do; work hard and provide for their family. Trump understands this.
a virtual open border? is that like a virtual brain? Trump might understand but he doesn’t care past using it for his grift.
As Jacinda demonstrated marginalized, isolate and denigrate a large percentage of the population and they will eventually fight back
Woke elites started this, they can hardly clutch their pearls when there’s a revolution
which large percentage was that? the 50% that voted for her?
Ohhh man with no name, I understand your moniker now..,..
Yes!
It’s why Labour received the largest swing against a sitting government in NZ history, in fact in the top tier of democratic countries across the globe.
A -25 swing is guinness book record material in global modern politics last 20-30 years.
What say you now?
Well hopefully this bunch of idealogical corrupt con artist get the same treatment. They are a f’ing disgrace.
No. The 30%that she ran away from before the last election
Trump or Harris doesn’t matter which puppet is president as George Carlin american comedian famously quotes “the illusion of choice”

The people raving about how great Kamala Harris is were the same ones who were saying there was nothing wrong with Joe Biden.
” Sure she regurgitates flakey wellness word salads. ”
Bernard Sanders never did.
He talked directly, with a plan and was supported by many millions of Americans the Billionaire class are manipulating.
Its long overdue that a third party candidate stood and pointed out the current absurdity and injustice of the reds and blues.
So now a billionaire says he represents the people who are enslaved by the system he has manipulated and enabled his extreme wealth off the backs of all those who carry these parasites on the backs of themselves and their children.
The farce is so clear to see except for the manipulated slaves of American money.
