“the Alt-right Side Of History Will Prevail”

This story was produced by Reveal from The Center for Investigative Reporting. Long before Donald Trump’s election ushered in an era of resurgent white nationalism, a disaffected Republican named William H. Regnery II was brooding about the demographic plight of white people and plotting their rescue. Like Trump more than 20 years later, Regnery, the wealthy scion of a famous GOP family, had an increasingly dark view of a changing America: As he wrote, the United States had become a crime-ridden society with bad schools, high taxes, an intrusive government, and a penchant for political correctness that was “morphing into an intellectual tyranny.” Worse, “a flood of immigrants were changing the look of America from a palette (sic) of prime colors to a third-world monochrome,” he wrote in a rant that would be at home on the bookshelf of Trump’s chief strategist, Steve Bannon.

  • Biden Has a TikTok Problem
    Political Wire, Tuesday - 06/11/2024 - 07:34 AM

    Semafor: “TikTok was already considered relatively hostile territory before the president signed a bill that would force the app’s Chinese parent company ByteDance to sell it or face a national ban; TikTok officials said that since November, there’s been twice as much pro-Trump content as pro-Biden content on the platform.” Said TikTok creator Harry Sisson on young liberals turning away from Joe Biden: “I gotta be honest, it doesn’t feel good.

    “Donald Trump’s proposal to make workers’ tips nontaxable introduces an untested idea to raise take-home pay that would encourage businesses and employees to recharacterize taxed wages as untaxed tips,” the Wall Street Journal reports. “Such a move could further complicate Americans’ messy relationships with tips, which have spread to new corners of the economy in recent years even as consumers express growing exasperation with requests for voluntary payments on top of prices.”
