Scott Greer talks about George Santos's ouster, why he's so popular among conservatives, his obvious issues, the Dissident Right's strange diversity, the Newsom vs. DeSantis debate, and much more!
Very curious to get your take on this Scott: what should the dissident right make of FDR’s racial views?
I took him to be the first generation of “blank slate ideology” presidents, but I recently discovered this is not the case from the article below. Article is narrowly focused on “muh antisemitism” unfortunately, but touches on broader racial issues. He didn’t encourage immigration either iirc.
To add more color: the narrative I always heard was that FDR’s lack of action on civil rights or related racial issues from a left wing angle was because his hands were tied by southern democrats, rather than his own inclinations or any desire to preserve WASP America.
If you know any books that go into this specifically I’d like to read them. You recommend “Fear Itself” to me a while back, it was excellent.
Also what are your thoughts on making college just upper division (with low div online and general ed eliminated, 1-2 year college) in response to “just go to trade school and cede all white collar jobs”
Why don’t people start demonstrating the cleavages of the rainbow coalition...wouldn’t it be useful socially to show the favoring of blacks, Muslims and transgenders. This would undermine the oppression narrative and dilute economic redistribution efforts
Great episode as always
