@MarkBrahmin @RandyGarciaaa Look at Trump. In 2022, The Wall gets a muted mention; immigration restriction, not so much. There are vague claims that "illegal immigration" is out of control. The priorities, as judged by accomplishments, were tax cuts and judges (i.e., the anti-abortion crusade). — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

@MarkBrahmin @RandyGarciaaa One big thing in understanding these issue is *priorities*. E.g., the anti-abortion crusade has been a priority for Catholic and Religious Right voters, in a way that defending abortion rights has not been as much of a priority for the Left. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

@MarkBrahmin @RandyGarciaaa There's no reason to believe that "Christian Nationalists" will prioritize racial or conservationist issues. They never have in the past. They demonize the people who did and do. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

@MarkBrahmin @RandyGarciaaa The main point I was trying to get across was that, when it comes to immigration restriction, the (secular and post-WASP) Progressives did that, not "Christian Nationalists." — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

@MarkBrahmin @RandyGarciaaa Yes, this was, to a large degree, Sam Francis's concept of the Middle American Radical. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

It's the promotion of this private meeting that's the basis of various *cui bono* "conspiracy theories." To be frank, I believe that many of these are getting at something real. Many benefit from the media frenzy. Trump is not one of them. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

The issue is really the promotion on social media of the private turkey dinner. This was done by Milo (and Ye likely at Milo's behest). If you're going to have a tete-a-tete, you've got to keep that stuff secret. Milo turned the event into a media frenzy. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

I understand this...but it strikes me as deriving largely from jealousy. I don't blame Fuentes for meeting with the rich and powerful. I would certainly do (and have done) the same thing. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

I've noted a right-wing backlash against Fuentes for meeting with Trump. In summary, "You're ruining his reputation!" — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

@MarkBrahmin @RandyGarciaaa There are problems with using voting for the GOP, especially in a state race, as a proxy for supporting immigration restriction. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

@MarkBrahmin Have Catholics really "flipped on this"? Pat Buchanan is a fairly unusual Catholic. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

@MarkBrahmin Buckley never led an anti-immigration campaign. Buchanan did, however. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

@MarkBrahmin My earlier point is that “family reunification” as a paradigm was, in effect, pro-European in the immediate aftermath of the ‘65 law being passed. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

@MarkBrahmin The ‘24 Act discriminated against Jews, in effect if not in law. The 1965 didn’t, though is that really a huge factor? — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

RT @Know_More_News: Thanks to E Michael Jones, Nick Fuentes, and TruNews for helping to legitimize Milo as a straight Christian. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

@Ivan_White_ @MarkBrahmin Okay, but when the WASPs were in power, they promoted progressive liberalism, along with natural conservation and eugenics. FDR was an Episcopalian, for what that's worth. The undeniable WASP decline coincided with the inequality and outright greed your denounce. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

@MarkBrahmin Not exactly. Jews were, in effect, discriminated against through the 1924 Act, which preferred Northern Europeans over Eastern and Southern Europeans. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

@Ivan_White_ @MarkBrahmin Yes. The issue is that evangelicalism and fundamentalism is highly correlated with low-IQ. Being innovative or movers-and-shakers is too much to expect from them. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

RT @ApollosValor: Ye 2024 is just another slave revolt. Isn’t it amazing how WNs always end up debasing themselves for the sake of christ… — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

@ApollosValor @MarkBrahmin Yes, it is a "Protestant"—evangelical, fundamentalist, and non-denominational—voting base. Leadership is completely dominated by Catholics and Jews. Mainline WASPs (that is, intelligent, educated, and reasonable people) have migrated to the Democrats. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

@MarkBrahmin It's noteworthy that the Progressive era developed Nordicist immigration, eugenics, and environmental conservation and national parks. This is the intellectual and political movement that the Catholic-led "conservative movement" choses to demonize. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

@MarkBrahmin Also, being that the paradigm for the 1965 Act was "family reunification," in the immediate decades after its passage, the immigration system still favored Europeans. By the early '80s this had changed. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

@MarkBrahmin The 1924 Act was America's first true immigration bill. It was a Progressive cause, and the leading lights promoting it were progressives and conservationists, even though many WASP Republicans came around. There was no impulse for legislation like this from "Christian America." — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

@MarkBrahmin And yes, as this guy says, Catholics intellectuals have been about as pro-immigration as Jewish ones. And if a "Catholic dictatorship" is what is desired, then mass immigration from South America would aid in achieving that. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

@MarkBrahmin The story is much more complex than MacDonald, in his quest for victimization—poor Christian, always oppressed by Da Juze—makes it. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

The “National Conservative” movement is brain dead and ahistorical—especially for Hungry, which achieved actual greatness as part of the dual-monarchic empire. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

It’s impossible for Orban to be right on any issue. Ukraine was a “sovereign state” since the 1991 referendum. And it was still pulled into the Russian sphere and then outright invaded. It’s only broken away from Russia by being treated as a semi- or quasi-NATO member. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

@Heghoulian I think that’s me. — PolitiTweet.org

@mike323a @Know_More_News @Ivan_White_ @Vetreyal1 @hiddenstasis @Gregsimmons_1 @CPikaia @ChadLink4 @HanJahr Do you think Ye-ism is Yang Gang 2.0 in the sense that they're going to drop it in 3 months? — PolitiTweet.org
