Are The Social Issues Even Real?

“Even a proposed cut to ‘just’ 1 million a year would have been an acknowledgment the administration understood that there are problems with mass immigration that go beyond the question of immigrant skills, related to assimilation, security, crowding, etc” https://t.co/sOgQOURqRf

After running in 2016 on immigration as his signature campaign issue, there is no border wall in the third year of the Trump presidency. There is no ban on sanctuary cities. There has been no significant increase in deportations or end to catch and release. Kate Steinle’s murderer has walked free. Blompf has gone soft on E-Verify on the grounds that it works. After all the hype about Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh, the new “conservative” majority on the Supreme Court failed to take up DACA.

Illegal immigration is now worse than it was under Obama and is at the highest point it has been at in over a decade. Border security has collapsed with Blompf in the White House. Blompf has increased the cap on H-2B visas by 30,000. He has also repeatedly said that he wants the highest levels of legal immigration ever and his new immigration plan only changes the composition of immigration so that more high skilled immigrants are admitted to compete with the middle class for their jobs.

How real is the immigration issue? What happened to ending birthright citizenship after the 2018 midterms? There seems to be no correspondence between Blompf’s campaign rhetoric on immigration in 2016 and 2018 and his record on the issue as president of the United States.

It is hard to say whether immigration or political correctness is the biggest social issue of our times. I lean toward political correctness being the bigger issue because it is our stigmatization that justifies our total social, political and cultural marginalization in our own country. It is considered “immoral” in this country to be a non-self hating White person and a social conservative who opposes this radical and unprecedented wave of demographic change as a foolish utopian social experiment.

Has the political correctness gotten better or worse since Blompf has been president? If nothing else, we assumed in the 2016 election that he would continue to “shift the Overton Window” by smashing taboos and opening up the cultural space for a new kind of politics. He doesn’t require Congress or the Supreme Court to accomplish this. We were totally mistaken on that point. Since Blompf has been president, he has evolved from a bomb thrower into a conventional Republican president who now spends his days tweeting about the black and Hispanic unemployment rate. He has surrounded himself with nothing but grifters like Charlie Kirk and his own administration is staffed top to bottom with his enemies.

How real is the opposition of conservatism to political correctness? If we look at the opposition to social media censorship whether it has been in the form of campaign promises in the 2018 election, congressional hearings or FCC rulings, then we can conclude it has been non-existent. The Blompf Justice Department has chosen instead to give Antifa a free hand to engage in violence while prosecuting groups like the Rise Above Movement. The Republican Congress has condemned White Nationalism at least three times. It has declared fighting anti-Semitism a U.S. national security interest. It has gotten to the point where some of Blompf’s biggest supporters like Alex Jones have been wiped off the internet. There hasn’t even been the slightest effort to push back against political correctness on college campuses. Insofar as there have been any victories on the issue, it is because we briefly challenged the status quo in court in 2017 while we were being universally condemned by mainstream conservatism.

What about homosexuality and LGBTQ rights? As we have pointed out for the last two years, the Blompf administration has succeeded in shifting the Overton Window on homosexuality by mainstreaming sites like Gateway Pundit. Homosexuality has triumphed on the Right under Donald Trump. In fact, the Trump administration has launched global offensives to promote homosexuality and feminism and has condemned Iran on this basis. Conservatism is also represented in the public sphere now by bimbos like Tomi Lahren who aren’t on television for any reason other than their appearance.

The American birthrate has plummeted to an all time low and White women aren’t having enough babies to replace the current White population in all 50 states. The drug overdoses and suicides are still surging to record highs. The average life expectancy in White America has continued its decline. Undoubtedly, this is related to the fact that Millennials are trapped in poverty working gig economy jobs with no benefits or job security, but this is being celebrated as best economy ever because The Dow and The GDP continue to surge to new highs. What is conservatism doing to address these massive social problems?
