Note: If you are or were MAGA, you’re Dissident Right. If you voted for Trump, you’re likely Dissident Right. Keep that in mind as you read. This essay discusses whether you would be best served in continuing to vote for Republicans, voting Democrat to punish the GOP, or not voting at all. Each of us must come to our own conclusions on this issue, but this essay gives one some logical points to consider in that decision.
Everybody’s line for walking away will always be different, but if you don’t have a line, then you are ensuring that you’re entirely powerless to whatever the particular force is ruling over you. It doesn’t matter if you think you have your dream job or your dream woman, if you don’t have a line in which you will simply say no and walk away, then you fundamentally cannot negotiate. Under that premise, you are being held as a slave. Maybe you happen to serve benevolent rulers, but not everyone is as lucky.
The master-slave relationship is so important to understand, especially in a political context, because it is the exact dynamic of right wing American politics. The mainstream right and the GOP are currently operating as the masters, ruling over their dissenting slaves on the dissident right.
As we’ve all collectively voiced our dismay, what has the mainstream right’s rebuttal to our accusations of treachery been? Well, they say that we should be grateful for the things we have gotten. They point to the Democrats and say ‘at least we aren’t that!’ They insist that because the border is closed, we should just be quiet and show some gratitude. All while states like Texas import legal Indian immigration that could possibly be even more damaging to the country than illegal immigration.
I also agree that if you were to merely view this situation through a lens of practicality, it probably wouldn’t make sense to vote Democrat at all. I am not even advocating for the position. I personally feel that voting is likely just window dressing at this point. The only real solution will likely have to be external.
