President Caucasian v President Crusader
A reader with the utopian name of Brooch Paradise asks:
One thing I’m curious about is what differences you have with the alt right in terms of action. So if president Alt Right were in office, what would or wouldn’t he do that’d you’d take issue with, and if president Last Crusade was in office what would or wouldn’t he do that the alt right would take issue with?
There are no difference in terms of action that I can foresee.
The only difference is in terms of how the debate is framed to the public. The Alt-Right will appeal to the loyalty men feel toward their skin color, which, as far as I can tell, outside of Leftwing Fever Swamps, is none at all. The Last Crusade will appear to the loyalty men feel toward Western Civilization, toward life and liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and toward goodness, truth, beauty, virtue and Jesus Christ.
Whose appeal do you think is broader and deeper?
