Deep dives
Voting for Kamala Harris is Incoherent
Supporting Kamala Harris as a conservative is portrayed as a fundamentally flawed choice, as her policies are often seen as antithetical to traditional conservative values. The argument suggests that while some conservatives consider voting for her to be a strategic move to end Donald Trump's political influence, in reality, such a decision risks paving the way for a drastic shift towards a left-liberal agenda. Many of Harris's proposals, such as abolishing ICE and guaranteeing federal jobs for all, are highlighted as having no chance of winning a national race, undermining her appeal to voters who prioritize conservative principles. Thus, this perspective holds that voting for Harris could unintentionally lead to the erosion of conservative ideology in America.
David French and the Concept of Saving Conservatism
The discourse introduced by columnist David French, who advocates for voting for Harris to 'save conservatism,' is critiqued as misguided and potentially damaging. French's argument insinuates that electing Harris could somehow restore Reaganite conservatism in the future, ignoring the likelihood that a Harris presidency would entrench profoundly leftist policies that conflict with conservative ideals. Critics assert that this strategy would not only fail to address the issues at hand but would also inadvertently accelerate a transformation of the Republican Party into a less conservative entity. The juxtaposition of Harris's plans and traditional conservatism raises doubts about the validity of viewing her election as a viable pathway for the Republican Party's revival.
Hypocrisy and the J.D. Vance Controversy
J.D. Vance's alleged past of dressing in drag at a Halloween party is presented as a significant point of criticism from the left, which some conservatives view as a hypocritical stance. The accusation centers around Vance's current opposition to the normalization of drag culture and perceived gender identities, creating a narrative that he is inconsistent in his beliefs. Critics argue this incident from nearly a decade ago holds little relevance to his present political positions and undermines the left’s credibility. This situation serves as an example of how political opponents can utilize personal history to attack one's integrity without recognizing the context or growth an individual may have undergone since that time.
The Sentinelese Tribe and Immigration Policy Lessons
The violent defense mechanism of the Sentinelese tribe against intruders raises provocative questions regarding immigration policies and national sovereignty. Their historic responses to trespassers, often fatal, prompt discussions about the moral implications of border protection and how liberal views often inconsistently apply to such cases. By contrasting the tribe's actions with the treatment of illegal immigrants in modern societies, the narrative illustrates hypocrisy in the discourse surrounding immigration and the justification of force. Advocates contend that the Sentinelese are merely exercising their right to protect their homeland, a principle that should also apply to nations like the United States.
The Media Hyping Kamala Harris
The media's role in generating support for Kamala Harris through extensive promotion is presented as a central reason for her perceived popularity in crowds at campaign events. Contrary to existing beliefs, it is argued that Harris's crowd sizes are manufactured by a concerted effort from mainstream media and Hollywood, rather than genuine support from an enthusiastic electorate. The discussion also explores how this artificial star-making can lead to a temporary boost in visibility, yet ultimately lacks sustainable substance or viability. The commentary suggests that without this orchestrated support, Harris's individual appeal would quickly dissipate, highlighting the ephemeral nature of such media-created popularity.
Today on the Matt Walsh Show, a prominent Never Trumper made this case this week for why conservatives should vote for Kamala Harris. But voting for Kamala Harris, if you call yourself a conservative, is incoherent and incredibly foolish at the very best. Also, the Left accuses JD Vance of hypocrisy after an alleged photo of Vance wearing drag at a Halloween party in college surfaces. I'll explain why they're undermining their own position by making that argument. And a primitive tribe on an island in the Indian Ocean viciously murders any intruders who venture close to their borders. What do they have to teach us about immigration policy? More than you might think.
