The Optimate Moment

The Corpse of Conservatism

The 2016 presidential election will go down in history as the last. Now that one party can commit rampant vote fraud, and the other meekly accepts the fraudulent outcome, the US is a de facto one-party oligarchy. Simulated elections will still be held for show, but everyone will know them…

 The protracted election circus that's dominated the news all week has my inbox filled with urgent questions from folks who are heavily invested in the outcome. These queries range from asking if the American Dream is really dead (it died a long time ago) to speculating that all this chaos…

Salvini: A Trial Run for Trump?

Salvini: A Trial Run for Trump?

A perennial fly in Trump supporters' ointment has been the president's inveterate Boomerism. Four years ago, it was common in dissident circles to half-jokingly portray Trump as a reactionary autocrat who would swoop in, throw the Clinton machine in Gitmo, and declare himself emperor.While the God Emperor meme wore out…

What's striking about the recent announcement of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's death is the relative calm in its wake. The news broke on Friday night, and Lefties threw the expected fit on social media, but the weekend passed without any more street violence than usual.Perhaps all the false alarms…
