He probably is sincere. But not for the reason you think, or maybe they are.

Basically he and other white nats want to go full accelerationist and support full blown idpol, therefore hoping that race relations get worse under Biden which would lead to the possibility of a more pro-white nat President in 2024 or 2028.

It's odd. Accelerationism looks so stupid on my side. When the other side does it, it's alarmingly likely to work. I guess it comes down to "how is success measured?" and like a wussy liberal I don't like my people landing in prison.

He literally said in the statement and I quote "I'm not some accelerationist"

Like re-entry? It's just a return to Earth. Somewhere between Obama's high principles he didn't live up to, and Trump's low principles he barely managed to implement. We'll be fine.

Ruminations on people like Spencer (or to me, Trump) tend to induce despair. But remember, there is no such thing as "human nature", there is only individual nature. And maybe it's because none of us have much power, that we are not so corrupted by power.

Yes, she is leaning heavy on the teleprompters, going from clearly looking at the one on the right, then clearly reading from the one on the left, then the one on the front camera. But fuck it, not a public speaker, English as a second language, I've seen far worse.



Like her husband.

I haven't been paying too much attention, but is this a political speech or a memoir?

I think the fact that you don't like her speech, is because you don't like Trump and the Republicans, you don't support them, so you criticize her speech, as is this a political speech or a memoir.

If it were a speech from a Democrat you support you would not question the theme and nature of the speech.

But I owe you an apology so I apologize, for the teletrompter part.

You say English is her second language, but you criticize her for using the teleprompter, give her a break,


Wow did you read that wrong.

English is her second language and she has a considerable accent.


Are you criticizing? Or excusing her? Or can't you tell the difference?

I cant believe this post of yours, my post response fits the post of the poster, a very bad habit of mine. I am admitting that I am a broken record, but I left out, that my quote responses fits the posts of the posters, who force me many times to repeat myself like the broken record I am.

White nationalists wanna start a race war but can't even agree upon who is on their side. They know who definitely isn't (blacks people) but when the question of anyone who isn't nordic comes up, the debates begin and get ugly.

There's probably someone else who thinks this is progress. Whatever direction society is headed, someone wants to go that way.

You have greenies saying it's great we're emitting less carbon (with the economy in a deep recession)
You have companies who make their money from home deliveries, making more money
You have parents who want to spend more time with their young children, working from home
You have anti-5G saboteurs who think Trump and Johnson banning Huawei means victory

I think the speech was awesome, it was caring about the international virus crisis, and other issues, USA, USA, USA.

I think anyone here who criticizes Republican First Lady of the USA Melania Trump's Speech is being Political:

Evidence and Facts From GMS - Lol.

Immediately after Melania Trump’s largely humanizing and empathetic speech at Tuesday night’s Republican National Convention, the analysts and hosts at CNN were effusive with their praise for it, applauding the first lady for expressing sympathy for victims of the coronavirus pandemic and addressing racial unrest.

“The first lady doing something that I don’t think that any other speaker has done in the two days of the Republican National Convention have done, addressing pointedly and movingly the No. 1 crisis issue facing the United States right now: the coronavirus pandemic.

Anchor Wolf Blitzer said at the conclusion of Trump’s address. “As she expressed her deepest, deepest sympathies to all those who have suffered, the families who have lost loved ones, she promised that her husband would work for treatments, and a vaccine to take care of everyone.”

Blitzer went on to say that was an “important statement” on her behalf, calling it a “moving speech” and that it was “important” that the first lady said she didn’t want to “attack the other side” like everyone else at the convention.

Anchor Jake Tapper agreed with Blitzer, asserting that her address was a “stark contrast” to her husband and the other convention speakers since she expressed “strong sympathy for individual suffering through the two major crises” in America: the coronavirus and racial strife.

“And then talking about the racial unrest and the problems with American history,” Tapper said. “‘A harsh reality that we are not proud of parts of our history.’ These are things we have not heard. I have to say, not only is it in contrast with her husband, it’s almost a contradiction.”

Correspondent Dana Bash, meanwhile, relayed CNN reporting that the first lady did not run her speech by the West Wing or campaign, thus making it less focused on Republican “bread-and-butter” issues.

“She acknowledged what people are feeling, whether it is from the COVID virus, or from the racial unrest,” Bash declared, adding: “As a mom, I perked up when she started to talk about the fact that it’s so hard for parents with children with social media and technology.”

At the same time, Bash acknowledged that Trump may have lost some people when she continued to talk about issues with bullying without acknowledging the irony that “a lot of the intense and vicious attacks that come on social media come from her husband these days.”

Reporter Abby Phillip said that reflected the “sort of conflict” in Trump’s speech, suggesting she was making a pitch to the American public to be the first lady for the next four years rather than four more years of Donald Trump as president.

“That is extraordinary,” she continued. “You know the decision that she made even just to walk out to the stage by herself on her own, really taking a stand, is notable.”

Phillip went on to say that if Trump is going to “take a stand on racial justice,” she would like to “hear her say it in stronger terms,” prompting Bash to note that Trump claimed she’s been “reflecting on the issue” and that it was a vastly different tone from the rest of the party.

Tapper, for his part, brought up Trump’s willingness to embrace her husband’s racist birther conspiracy about former President Barack Obama.

“So, that is something worth thinking about when one considers her rather progressive comments about racial issues and the ugly history in the country,” he added.

In the end, however, the CNN anchor concluded that Trump should still be applauded for the tone and tenor of her speech, especially in contrast to the rest of the convention.

“You have to give her credit for embracing the cause of so many people in the country who are very vulnerable, which again is not something that you necessarily have heard a great deal about during this convention,” Tapper said. “But Melania Trump is giving voice to some people who are very vulnerable in this society. And that’s obviously something to be heralded.”

I think anyone here who criticizes Republican First Lady of the USA Melania Trump's speech is being Political.

English is not her first language, She does have a considerable accent, but I have heard worse, and I understood what she said.

I honestly don't know if Melania's speech was good or not. There were no subtitles so I just gave up listening after a while.
