I have two college degrees (Associate in Applied Science and Bachelor of Science) and I despise Harris and the Democrat Party. Trump needs to speak out, loudly, against the bias against White people and the systemic disenfranchisement of White people. He needs to speak out and tout that White people build communities, create jobs, and raise families while being taxed the highest of anyone else.

There is nothing wrong with being white. Europeans helped build America, white people are usually punctual, work hard, and don't discriminate against other races.

I agree that there's nothing wrong with being white!

But the taboo is still there, and the GOP still needs to do a better job of speaking out on behalf of its white voters.

Great essay. Also, really enjoyed listening to the Good Ole Boys podcast appearance. It was especially interesting to hear the insights around the historical 1960s political environment.

Thanks-- and yes, there's been a lot of changes in the political environment today vs. what it was in the 1960s (or even in the 1990s)

Advocating for whites is still « cringe » in 2024 in USA. Even more amongst non-whites. Non-white college educated people tend to vote even more for democrat than white educated people. Conclusions: 1) College educated people are getting brainwashed with anti-white ideology. White people seem to resist the brainwashing better than non-whites. The share of republican voter amongst college seem to be in-line with what we can expect. I don’t think there is untapped potential here.

2) Advocating for whites might hurt Trump more than you think. The only people that like whites in USA are non-educated whites

The bigotry of universities and bureaucracy must be solved after the election.

The Democratic Party clearly is building an antiwhite coalition. Just mentioning this would greatly help whites and America to blunt this racial tribalism.

In addition to appealing to whites the gop doesn’t seem to care about targeting women or working class Hispanics. They overly spend time on blacks, lgbt and special interest groups like libertarians.

The reason why I’m guessing is due to following entertainment media and to “play by the lefts own terms”.

The future core of America is whites and assimilated Hispanics this will be between 70-80% of America for the rest of this century. Hispanics clearly are assimilating like Italians. It’s insane how republicans don’t go after whites by at least vocally going after their civil rights violations. Also they really don’t seem to care about losing college whites and are glad to be losing white women (calling them Karen’s).

Real and true.

White's should have their homeland(s) too.

The jews are unified in their desire to maintain complete control over all aspects of public life and punishing anyone who tries to organize in the interest of Whites.

The jews are - without question - the best-financed, best-organized ethnic lobby in the world. Nothing happens at an economic, political or cultural level without the approval of the jews.

If you don't think that's the case, test them and find out.

Whites don't like 'racism' and 'civil rights' appears more and more to be simply a cover for anti-White policies.

The days of revering the 'Civil Rights Era' are over.

The GOP won't support its biggest voting demographic because of fear of the jewish money and media and the Zionist 'Christian' vote.

The Democrats can have a 'Whites for Harris' because the Whites attracted to the DNC are ethnomasochistic and or actually jews pretending to be White to promote White ethnomasochism.

But at least the DNC was aware that there's a problem with White voters feeling alienated from DNC politics.

The same thing is happening among White GOP voters but it's more amorphous because the jews in the GOP have (hilariously) promoted the idea to Whites that the GOP rejects 'identity politics'.

The thing is, it's becoming noticeable that *non-Whites* are being cultivated by the GOP establishment *on the basis of race or ethnicity*.

The whole direction of 'American' politics since WWII has been the suppression of White interests and the rise of the power of the jews who have exercised their ancient hatred of Whites by 'de-Whiting' society, culture and the economy.

My husband and I are both college-educated professionals that have voted for Trump every time he ran! I can’t speak for any one else but we left the Lame Stream News years ago and educated ourselves! Soros and the Global Politicians are behind the Dems. The Democrat politicians only make money off the middle class! Trump never took a dime! He gave his quarterly salary to different government departments! Trump lost money while in office, because he was working for Americans!

I work in engineering in MN and all the college educated folks I work with are all pro-Trump based on policy. Up here, the college edumacated whites that are voting for Harris simply hate Trump's personality. In 2016 Trump only lost by 44K votes here while 2020 was faked due to the Scamdemic.

One thing I am baffled by is the appeal of the Democrats to suburban affluent whites. Don’t they realize that their children are going to be disadvantaged from the bottom from Hispanics and blacks due to affirmative action, and disadvantaged from the top with the immigration into the country of high IQ South Asians and East Asians, all policies promoted by the anti-white Democratic Party, not to mention their taxes skyrocketing if and when we get reparations? There just seems to be a decided lack of deep thought and imagination with these voters, a disconnect between their interests and their votes. When Junior doesn’t get into an Ivy League school or their daughter doesn’t get that prized job, do they wonder why?

There's a lot of anti-White racial masochism among Whites in general.

Thank you very much for this article. I appreciate it, and your work. I really enjoyed your book and bought a copy for a friend, too.

Why doesn't the GOP explicitly appeal to white voters qua white voters, particularly when (a) their political opponents are explicitly anti-white and (b) whites have not been captured as a potential voting bloc?

First with (b): As you note, maybe there is too much significant diversity within the white group to allow them to be treated as one kind of thing. For example, differences in formal education divide whites into different voting blocs. Also, maybe religious and anti-religious commitments within the white group present significant differences as well. So, the matter is too complex to treat whites simply as one group with political interests. Political parties can then only capture subgroups within whites. They do this by focusing on the issues that pertain to the subgroups.

With (a), there is still a lingering feeling of moral authority that American blacks have against whites for the past. This is a Shelby Steele point. The moral authority undercuts any real attempt (as you note, Trump has had his moments, but nothing lasting) to defend whites by being their public advocates. The potential reaction by the corporate press and the establishment that creates them isn't something the GOP handles well generally, let alone reactions in which they don't feel they have the full authority.

My response to all of this is in keeping with your view, I think. With (a), by disregarding universal rights that underwrote the motivation for (and content of) the civil rights movement, the political opponents of the GOP are racist. Racism ought to be rejected. Therefore, the political opponents of the GOP ought to be rejected. But I guess until we see whites protesting and sprayed with firehoses, that message is going to have a hard time sinking in, despite its clear truth. Ultimately, if "moral authority" exists, it should track with truth, even if at times it lags.

With (b), and I think we are already seeing this in this current election cycle, any racial group as a voting bloc already has significant diversity baked into it. In the case of blacks right now (particularly black men), immigration and preachy women are causing the support for Democrats to collapse. The real diversity within the group is beginning to show. So, appealing to racial groups doesn't make sense ultimately because there are too many other aspects to their members that create subgroups, and it makes more sense to appeal to those subgroups, which are "more real" than the chimera of racial groups and political interests in America.

Your argument is specious. The same obstacles that you think exist in opposition to appealing to Whites apply equally to every other 'identity group' the GOP currently appeals to. But the GOP directly addresses these groups.

The reason the GOP doesn't appeal to Whites is because of the jews who run the GOP, especially GOP fundraising.

Hahaha. And you say my argument is specious.

But muh Jews.

If you don't think moral authority is a thing, I get it. I'm a little suspicious of it, too. Kinda like momentum in football. People appeal to it as if it serves as an adequate explanans for why a team seems all of a sudden capable of making all of the plays when just before they weren't. But something has definitely sparked the team to perform a lot better all of a sudden.

Like it or not, we are still dealing with the momentum of the Civil Rights Era, even as its main principle(s) recede. The moral authority on one side has yet to change and the larger public feels this. And Republicans know the public feels this. That's why they are still sensitive to what dedicated leftist news outlets say about them. Public perception is a thing, ya know?

A word of advice: the men in the little hats aren't an adequate explanans for pretty much anything. But I doubt you'll see that.

Didn’t read it yet but this is why the Tory Party in the UK has repeatedly found female or minority leaders whereas Labour doesn’t have to.
