Yes, I know this is a few weeks late – the last month wound up being a lot more hectic than expected. This topic had no shortage of candidates to pick from, Hillary, the media, etc, but I see one group that has been truly hurt by 2016, and that group is of course….. White Supremacists.
I know, if you’ve been listening to prominent Democrats the Republicans have been taken over by this “Alt-right” movement. You heard about how Hillary informed us that half of Trumps’ supporters are
“sexist, racist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic” and hence “irredeemable” is known throughout the land. They, said she, belong in a “basket of deplorables.”
Great. So now basically a quarter of the country is in your camp, right? Not so much – apparently Trump did better than Romney with those damned brown skinned people:
Trump claimed 29 percent of the Hispanic vote on Tuesday compared to Romney’s 27 percent in 2012. With blacks, exit polls show Trump claimed 8 percent of the vote to the previous Republican nominee’s 6 percent.
This just doesn’t help the racial purity that we’re told Trump supporters represent. OK, how about some good old fashioned Anti-Semetism? More bad news – Trump wasn’t your best candidate; for that you’d have to go to Hillary’s team:
The same month, in another email to DNC officials, another official identified only as “Marshall” said of Sanders: “Does he believe in a God. He had skated on saying he has a Jewish heritage. I think I read he is an atheist. This could make several points difference with my peeps.”
OK, what about Trump’s nominees? We’ve already learned from every Democrat in office or in the media that Jeff Sessions is just two holes in his bed sheet from being a Klan member. You’ve no doubt already been disappointed in learning about Sessions’ efforts to crush the Klan in Alabama or his efforts to desegregate schools (on that note – hasn’t segregation become the newest big cause for Democrats?). And you might have heard about Sessions’ sympathy for those champions of the Civil Rights movement, via NRO’s Jim Geraghty:
Of course, it wasn’t that long ago that Sessions and (Corey) Booker got along pretty well. Back in 2015, the pair introduced legislation to award the Congressional Gold Medal to participants of the 1965 march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama
Not included in Geraghty’s linked story but in his morning newsletter, more bad news for the Alt-Right. Via that radical conservative rag The New York Times:
To Alabama voters, weary of decades of Democratic back-scratching and scandals, Mr. Sessions seemed a breath of fresh air when he emerged on the political scene in 1994, after 12 years as the top federal prosecutor in Mobile. As the state’s attorney general, his first elective post, he slashed staff, pay, travel, cars and supplies. Republican leaders hoped he would come to the rescue of the former governor, Guy Hunt, who was removed from office after a 1993 ethics conviction. Instead, Mr. Sessions asked a federal appeals court to uphold the conviction.
… After he was elected senator, taking a seat on the same Judiciary Committee that denied him the judgeship, Mr. Sessions seemed to bear no grudge against those who had humiliated him in 1986. He collaborated with Senator Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts on a bill to reduce prison rape. He also worked with Democrats to correct sentencing disparities that resulted in harsher penalties for those convicted of crimes involving crack cocaine, who were predominately black, than those convicted of powder cocaine, who were more likely to be white.
How about what the Radical Left has deemed the official web site of White Supremacy, Breitbart.com? True, the site may not be what it used to be when Andrew was alive, but it’s not the horror show that Democrats have deemed it. Who’s probably their most famous contributor right now? Milo Yiannopoulos, the gay contributor currently touring college campuses on “The Dangerous Faggot” tour. As if this weren’t bad enough, he fails racial purity tests too. When being accused of being a White Supremacist he counters with an insanely NSFW comeback that I can’t even paraphrase on a family friendly web site. If you’re interested jump to the 3:25 mark of this video. As an aside, I would have loved to have seen Milo as Trump’s Press Secretary!
There were a lot of stories to make Americans unhappy in 2016, and let’s not lose sight of the fact that White Supremacy just ain’t what it used to be.

There were some serious dissapointments for the Libs, but Milo is the only one who is hilarious. He has comedic genius that leaves the unfunny Lib comics looking like cub bears choking their chickens.
For those who are confused, I am Skookum, but I screwed up when I registered my phone. I am not a sockpuppet, don’t try it.
Liberals are just born to whine when most kids quit whining at a certian age liberals never stopped whining and the little snowflakes can be found on about every campus across america and they never go away until the heat of truth is applied then they melt like all little snowflakes do
As an aside, Twitter is purging all who oppose their Liberal narrative.
Just yesterday they “disappeared” the Twitter account of The People’s Cube.
As to the alt-right and the white supremacists, there was a time, pre-election day, when the alt-right included a puckish, troll aspect.
It was also filled with people of all colors and sexual persuasions.
But post-election the alt-right was taken completely over by one, once small aspect of it, the white supremacists.
I have tried to engage some of these writers only to be name-called in exchange.
Eleanor Roosevelt once wrote:
“great people discuss ideas,
average people discuss events and
small minds discuss people.”
Every one of the white supremacists I have encountered responds to criticism of the content of their arguments with name-calling and filth.
Not so supreme when it comes to brain power, huh.
@Nanny G:
I saw more members of the Alt-Left yesterday, wearing the KKK sheets at the Judiciary committee meeting, opposing Sessions than I’ve seen members of the Alt-Right. Based on Trumps presser today, I think we have to put Buzzfeed and CNN solidly in the Alt-Left category.
The only problem with using the term Alt-Left is that I’m not sure they are really distinct from the Loonie-left.
I didn’t bother to watch Obozo’s Farewell, but I’ve seen a few clips from it. It must be hard for him to have to admit that in the two attempts to Community Organize in Chicago, he failed miserably and now, he’s failed to ‘community organize’ the US. 95 million unemployed US workers is considered to be a miserable failure.
great people talk about ideas, average people take about events, small minded people, snowflakes talk about people talk about people, so where do the libs fit into? Eleanor Roosevelt’s expression with a little modification.
on January 20, the world is going to change.
@RedTeam:
Racist Democrat KKK members showing up at the hearings to protest the appointment Sessions are a huge argument in favor of his confirmation.
@Ditto:
true, the grand wizard in Virginia had no idea of any members demonstrating in DC
@Nanny G: I think you meant Wikipedia? I just retweeted something from TPC a little while ago
Not surprising that People’s Cube uses the color of Nazism to make their point.

The love for all things from Hitler and the Nazis is amazing.
And still deplorable.
PS.
Trump explicitly accused the intelligence agencies of leaking that #GoldenShowers dossier, and compared them to Nazis.
@PhillipMarlowe: Exactly – What better way to represent people who cheerlead people who cheerlead using the power of the government to destroy people they don’t like than the symbol of a party that used government force to destroy people they didn’t like?
And to further clarify your last comment, he condemned their behavior for mimicking that of the Nazis – accurate, and a far cry from the near-perpetual “Trump is Hitler!” drumbeat from the radicals that have taken over the Democratic party and the MSM. Excellent point!
Too hard to choose, all the foreign powers that donated to Hillarys campaign and foundation, George Soros lost a ton of money trying to manipulate the election, Obama trying to sway the British from Brexit seeing his legacy crash and burn, The EU being run over and losing their culture, MSM, pollsters, anyone who bet money against DT the list goes on.
John Lewis says he wont attend trumps ingauarations Yeah who in the world needs this fat bald jackass anyway? John Lewis needs 25 years in prison
Where the heck did the term “Alt-right” come from? I never heard the term used until Hillary. I did not know what she was talking about until the “deplorables” basket. Then I got Really Pissed. I did not think she was creative enough to come up with it but then I remembered “vast right wing conspiracy. Sincere question here, does anyone know where the term was coined? PS I think the “basket of deplorables” was her worst campaign move. The long lines of them coming out to vote, voters using walkers, people who had not voted in years was amazing to watch here in Fly Over Country.
@Songbird:
From the Alt-Left, of course. I use Alt Left regularly as does Sean Hannity. It is for those that are trying to sabotage the US. We know them more generally as Dimocrats, liberals, socialists, and progressives.
Who to credit most for Hillary’s loss? Hillary. Her mind is at least 50% in the toilet. She doesn’t even know where she is most of the time. I’d be very surprised if she survives with her health problems until the end of Trump’s term. I certainly don’t think her calling patriotic Americans a ‘basket of deplorables’ got her very many votes. Well, other than RW.
@kitt: I’m not so concerned about Obozo’s legacy and I’ll even bet he’s hoping not much of it survives. Why would he want to be known for destroying healthcare insurance in America? Why would he want to be known as the president that let 4 Americans get killed in Benghazi just due to his personal negligence. Why would he want to be remembered for Fast and Furious? Why would he want to be remembered as the person that freed the terrorists from Gitmo? Why would he want to be remembered as the president that forgot his home town and let so many of it’s citizens be killed daily? Why would he want to be remembered as the president that revived racism in the US? I could go on and on, but I think everyone would agree that there is nothing good to remember in any legacy from Obozo.
@Songbird:
“Alt.Right” originally comes from the old Usenet Newsgroup forums. There are all forms of “alt” groups for all kinds of general subjects.
