Uber Patriot -- D'Souza: USA Must Become More Like China!

.


They're not even trying to hide this shit anymore.


Traitor Trump pardoned felon Dinesh D'Souza and he believes he has a solution to repair the "bitterly divided" America as he sees it. Just become more like China!

I kid you not.

This is from an extreme right wing nutjob, along with his Fox News QAnon klan who viciously accuse the Democratic party of turning America into a socialist sh*thole, and claims Biden is bought and sold by China.

D'Souza describes the appeal on his podcast this way: "China holds its huge society together through relentless appeals to nationalism, while here in America, the Left reviles nationalism and seeks to divide our society through appeals to identity politics."

"How does China hold itself together? The Chinese have launched a massive new campaign to create solidarity among the Chinese to make them truly one nation," he said.

He admitted that the Chinese do large extermination campaigns every once in a while, so there's that, but no biggie.

D'Souza continued, "One force that is very powerful in China and the Chinese know it, is the force of nationalism."

After all...nationalism drove Mao!

"The Chinese are tapping into patriotism and emphasizing nationalism. What we have in America the opposite trend."

He claimed there are movements in our schools that teach kids to hate America and hate each other; to dislike its symbols, to revile its flag, to take a knee for its anthem...standard right-wing claptrap.

"Trump was appealing to American nationalism, but the left is anti-nationalism. The left emphasizes ethnic identity. Ethnic allegiance, not national allegiance," he said.

I swear, it takes virtually no effort to be a RW pundit. You don't even have to be clever.

for liberals or minorities. It is formula writing with a guaranteed positive audience. Many rightwingnuts believe that a violent purge of undesirables is way overdue.

Basically, Dinesh was making the point that the Taliban wouldn't have attacked us on 9-11 if we weren't so immoral, and Stephen asked him what other advice we should be taking from them. I could be wrong in remembering it, but I think it initially went over his head and by the time you saw the realization in his eyes, he had actually started answering the question and couldn't back up.

“In this book I make a claim that will seem startling at the outset. The cultural left in this country is responsible for causing 9/11. … In faulting the cultural left, I am not making the absurd accusation that this group blew up the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. I am saying that the cultural left and its allies in Congress, the media, Hollywood, the nonprofit sector, and the universities are the primary cause of the volcano of anger toward America that is erupting from the Islamic world. The Muslims who carried out the 9/11 attacks were the product of this visceral rage—some of it based on legitimate concerns, some of it based on wrongful prejudice, but all of it fueled and encouraged by the cultural left. Thus without the cultural left, 9/11 would not have happened.

“I realize that this is a strong charge, one that no one has made before. But it is a neglected aspect of the 9/11 debate, and it is critical to understanding the current controversy over the ‘war against terrorism.’ … I intend to show that the left has actively fostered the intense hatred of America that has led to numerous attacks such as 9/11. If I am right, then no war against terrorism can be effectively fought using the left-wing premises that are now accepted doctrine among mainstream liberals and Democrats.”

Whenever Muslims charge that the war on terror is really a war against Islam, Americans hasten to assure them they are wrong. Yet as Dinesh D’Souza argues in this powerful and timely polemic, there really is a war against Islam. Only this war is not being waged by Christian conservatives bent on a moral crusade to impose democracy abroad but by the American cultural left, which for years has been vigorously exporting its domestic war against religion and traditional morality to the rest of the world.

D’Souza contends that the cultural left is responsible for 9/11 in two ways: by fostering a decadent and depraved American culture that angers and repulses other societies—especially traditional and religious ones— and by promoting, at home and abroad, an anti-American attitude that blames America for all the problems of the world.
