Current Events > There is a Worse Convention than CPAC - Natcon Gaining Traction

(+) Yeah! (+)

How many alt-right conventions are there? Heard of another one on the radio called Natcon that occured this week. Goes hard on the christofascism and has members from Trump admin attending. Growing in popularity is a dangerous figure Doug Wilson a preacher from Idaho, recently saying women shouldn't vote, also has Pete Hegseth as a member. The march to fascism is coming faster than expected.

"A rightwing conference recently saw theocratic Christian nationalists, far-right publishers and members of men-only secret societies speaking alongside the Missouri senator Eric Schmitt, the assistant attorney general for civil rights at Donald Trumps Department of Justice and other senior Republican figures.
The speaker list at the National Conservatism conference in Washington DC raises questions over what distinctions exist between the nationalist hard right in the US and members of the Trump administration and the Republican party.

Heidi Beirich, the chief strategy officer and co-founder of the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism, said: NatCon is filled with extremists touting white nationalism and conspiracy theories. What is notable is how Trump administration officials and allies are key players in the event, showing that it is near impossible today to distinguish the far right from the administration.

The conference schedule was peppered with the names of leading figures of the so-called new right, an anti-democratic and ultra-nationalist far-right movement whose reactionary views have often undergirded the administrations actions.

The conference also featured prominent faces from the universe of thinktanks surrounding the Trump administration who have signed on to, or even devised the Project 2025 agenda that has provided a blueprint for Trumps actions in its first months.

The Heritage Foundation president, Kevin Roberts, for example, delivered a presentation entitled The Family: The Foundation of Americas Next 250 Years.
His speech leaned into male grievance and anti-immigrant sentiment, with Roberts endorsing the righteous anger such young men feel when our elites say they can be replaced by immigrants or machines.
Alongside the prominent far-right figures, several members of the Trump administration appeared at NatCon.

A speech by Schmitt, the Missouri senator, presented contemporary politics as a battle between the nation and the forces that would erase it, claiming that in Europe, the immigration crisis threatens to transform the ancient fabric of those nations, and all who object are menaced by an increasingly totalitarian censorship state.
Schmitt took aim not only at illegal immigration but legal immigration, saying: It should be clear that the fact that something is sanctioned by our government doesnt mean its good for our country.

Schmitt appeared to emphasize the idea that the American constitution has a basis in race: If you impose a carbon copy of the US constitution on Kazakhstan tomorrow, Kazakhstan wont magically become America. Because Kazakhstan isnt filled with Americans, its filled with Kazakhstanis.

Schmitt said what set Donald Trump apart from the old conservatism and the old liberalism alike was his knowledge that America is not just an abstract proposition, but a nation and a people with its own distinct history and heritage and interests, and his election culminated a pitchfork revolution driven by the millions of Americans who felt they were turning into strangers in their own country.
He identified America with colonial violence, including the pioneers striking out from Missouri for the wild and dangerous frontier, the outnumbered Kentucky settlers repelling wave after wave of Indian warband attacks from beyond the stockade walls, whom he said would be astonished to hear that they were only fighting for a proposition rather than a homeland for themselves and their descendants.
The Guardian has previously reported that Schmitt hired Nate Hochman as a policy adviser in February. He was hired despite his previous professional history, including his 2023 exit from Ron DeSantiss failed presidential campaign over a promotional video containing neo-Nazi imagery, and a stint last year at an ostensible thinktank founded by Marco Rubios current chief of staff, Mike Needham where Hochman created conspiracy-minded videos targeting Haitian migrants, LGBTQ+ people, and human rights groups.

Another member of the Trump administration, the deputy attorney general, Harmeet Dhillon, gave a speech in which she characterized the justice departments civil rights division, which she leads, as the presidents shock troops. Were the front guard. We are going to go first and clear the way for others to do their work.

Other administration figures who spoke at NatCon included the director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, and the Small Business Administration head and former senator, Kelly Loeffler.

The American public needs to catch up fast on the reality of American politics, said Katherine Stewart, the author of Money, Lies, and God: Inside the Movement to Destroy American Democracy. This isnt about left v right or liberal v conservative. The present administration and its NatCon supporters represent a fanatical movement that does not believe in democracy, individual rights, rational discourse, or any of the things that actually made America great.

Nazi America

Oh god fucking damn it. Not more of this fascist horseshit.

Disgusting

Had no idea there was multiple conventions.
