@Augustus Contact your state or regional coordinator for details on how we approach infiltrating the political arena. @AltRightMick should be able to give you the run down.

Saw it coming.

I was always told if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all, so I'll keep quiet.

It’s pretty obvious he had been on life support.

My mother had the same exact type of cancer. Very few people survive it, and even fewer who are of advanced age. She was given just 10% chance, and she was only 49

Sorry for your loss

Sorry to hear that

John McCain is dead

Sen. John McCain, independent voice of the GOP establishment, dies at 81. https://tiny.iavian.net/of70

We like our heroes not captured

@Karl keep it civil, please.

There's not much good to say about McCain. The most constructive conversation I think about the topic is chat about what comes next

@Augustus We will discuss this tomorrow.

I'm finding it hard to find information on who is lined up to take his position

Yeah. I understand why he is despised, but it is not good form to gloat - at least not in a public forum.

It looks like the AZ governor has not been discussing it, smart and respectful

Ducey is a republican and a Trump supporter, so his replacement should be an improvement

I have a room in my SF, CA apartment for rent. It would be awesome if I could rent to someone from IE. In the off chance anyone is looking for a room in SF, please DM me and I’ll send the link to the add w pics

List of candidates from this article: <https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/politics/arizona/2018/08/24/john-mccain-senate-seat-replacement/954586001/>
Cindy McCain
Kirk Adams (Governor's Chief of Staff)
Barbara Barett (Business woman, never elected)
Jon Kyl (Former Republican Senator from AZ)
Karrin Taylor Robson (A land use lobbyist)
John Shadegg (A fiscally conservative Former Congressman)
Eileen Klein (A Jewish woman appointed by the Governor in April to being the State Treasurer)

Good night Mccain

Hope you got all those wars in that you wanted

RIP senater u wer a tru amreican hero god bless u

Nothing but respect

@Auf WI see above @ to Karl. Civility, ladies and gents. We don’t have to “like” someone for the way they politicized their lives. But again, civility here. Thank you.

Apologies, but it was courteous to the tumor.

I hope his family was with him.

I wonder what this’ll mean for the midterms

Who knows

@Karl I read there will be an appointment by the AZ governor that will be until 2020

That's a pretty bad list apart from Salmon

God removed Rockefeller, Brzezinsky, McCain, it's getting pretty serious. Their hearts (and transplant hearts) can't stand the evil in them.

@TMatthews yeah I assume it may just be media messaging. Like you said, if the Governor is a Trump supporter then most of those people don't make sense to appoint.

AZ is in for a wild ride. I can't imagine the talent that is going to replace him.

*young uncaptured talent

@ThisIsChris Salmon had a good NumbersUSA score. If former gov Jan Brewer was in the running, she'd be good too. Appointing the former senator who would retire in 2020 is the "respectable bipartisan" thing to do. Hopefully Ducey just goes for a solid young conservative who can hold the seat a while

@Johnboy Yeah AZ has been a deep red state with a purplish senator for a long time

AZ is turning purple from demographics

@TMatthews good point. Checking NumbersUSA is a good idea.

Kinda strange to think that cali was Reagan red 40 Ish years ago.

Yeah

Reagan screwed Cali with demographics

"Conservatives" sure seem to love amnesty. 🤔

True. Alot of these alt lighters tend to forget that. <:really:453005408064241674>

Considering Trump is a New York "Republican", I was afraid he was going to cuck on DACA (and I guess he still could).

That would be another "conservative" giving amnesty to millions of browns.

Dems allow them in, Conservatives give them amnesty so they don't look "Racist" <:really:453005408064241674>

I'm sure all those illegals will become fiscal conservatives and vote red once they can stop worrying about being deported /s

Now you're thinking like a proper boomercon!

@Ben Rainsford - OH Don't you know they already were when the first came here! Only after the racist Dems got to them did their love for free markets dwindle away

I wish it was just a boomer thing. My housemate is legitimately convinced that once they get off the Democrat's "plantation", minority voters will realize that small government and free markets are awesome

DR3 baby!

Democrats are the real Democrats.

So all of a sudden, they will go from 93% Democrats to voting red? 🤔 <:sad:366743316475281408>

"muh magic plantation"

The Vultures are circling already.

We had a discussion about immigration the other day, and I figured bring up the bio diversity stuff wouldn't get very far. Essentially I couched my argument as "influx of highly fertile immigrants means you're kids will be competing for fewer jobs and scholarships with an increasing number of people."

Same reason Cheney moved to Wyoming. These people are power hungry.

@Ben Rainsford - OH Oh yeah that's a good argument.

"Democrats, attracted to it's growing Hispanic population"

But race is a social construct!!!!!!!

He response was litterally just; "Well I think increased competition will only make things better."

How do you get through to these people

@Ben Rainsford - OH Scholarships that your white children are at a disadvantage to get due to affirmative action...

it isn't competition when one person gets crippled

The cult of competition. They promise to work overtime so long as everyone else has to.

It's a competition to the bottom. Gov is going to subsidize and help out the lowest common denominator because of their race. Competition ceases being good when it's stacked against you

yep

The Democrats have accelerated that race to the bottom over the past 8-10 years.

And especially in the past 2.

@Ben Rainsford - OH I think the racial aspect is really critical. Until they understand the importance of race, they can pretty easily rationalize anything else

That's going to be hard. He's one of those civ nat types who loved Trump, but only after Ben Carson dropped out of the race.

Some people are just suckers in all honesty

@Ben Rainsford - OH I was a CivNat Trump supporter...don't count them out. (I was a Rand guy though...not Carson)

I don’t waste my time with them

The reason it bothers so much is because during the election he felt like the one guy who would openly support Trump with me. We went to rallies together, did the whole bit.

it was civnat 'Murica....not racial for him obviously

once someone realizes we are tribal people (esp non whites), it all makes sense

its getting them there that is like pulling teeth (or just downright losing them)

Civnat is a good start. The question is whether he is even civnat

A civnat can be pro white

So that’s something

yeah, i'm sure i'm not the only (racially aware) civnat turned Identitarian

I think probably most people kind of go through that process. I liked Thomas Sowell for a while lmao

Rest In Peace JM.

Eventually i realized that Sowell was not honest about race, endorsed race mixing, and cared more about free markets than i ever could

I liked how Ben Carson drove the libs nuts

Our greatest war vet in our countries history.

Of course not as much as Trump, but at the beginning I didn't know much about him

I had been red pilled for a couple years pre-Trump so idk who i wouldve liked if i hadnt been

Maybe Rand Paul

Rand was the only choice before I jumped aboard the Trump train.

I'm not sure who I would have voted for if Trump hadn't ran. If I did vote in the election at all, it would have been to "vote against" Hillary

I liked Cruz before Trump entered the picture
