Buchanan: It’s Too Late to Save the USA

Politico, a bastion of establishment-friendly, Leftist commentary, has a surprisingly objective feature article on Patrick Buchanan. One of the pictures that accompanies the article shows him holding a revolver, seated in a chair in front of a portrait of General Robert E. Lee. The entire article is worth reading, for it re-caps Buchanan’s fascinating career and pioneering campaigns that advocated the “America First” platform upon which Donald Trump won the White House last November. It avoids the name calling (racist, xenophobe, bigot, etc.) that characterizes most mainstream political commentary in the USA. And it gives a fair analysis of the paleo-conservative’s rejection of globalism and Third World immigration.

The most interesting part of the lengthy article though is contained in the frank admission that “it may be too late for the nation he was trying to save.” Author Tim Alberta writes of Pat’s view:

[E]ven if Trump delivers on the loftiest of his promises, Buchanan fears it will be too little, too late. Sweeping change was needed 25 years ago, he says, before thousands of factories vanished due to the North American Free Trade Agreement, before millions of illegal immigrants entered the country, before trillions of dollars were squandered on regime change and nation-building.

He’s not unlike the countless Trump voters I met across the country in 2016, many of them older folks yearning for a return to the country of their youth, a place they remember as safer, whiter, more wholesome, more Christian, more confident and less polarized. The difference is that Buchanan refuses to indulge in the illusion that a return to this utopia of yesteryear is even possible. Economically and demographically and culturally, he believes, the damage is done.

“We rolled the dice with the future of this country,” he tells me. “And I think it’s going to come up snake eyes.”

This is what Southern Nationalists and many others of the Alt-Right have been saying for quite some time. We can not go back to the 1950s. Even if all further Third World immigration, both legal and illegal, were halted today – which is not going to happen under even the most positive scenario possibly imaginable – Whites would still become a minority in the USA in the near future. That means that the United States will surely become the sort of Leftist, overtly anti-White state that we all fear. Without dramatic demographic change the USA simply will not survive much longer in any recognizable form.

That is not to say that Trump can’t do good things for us. He certainly can. He can delay our coming minority status, buying us some time. He can help tear down political correctness. He can move people in a more identitarian direction. But ultimately, our salvation as a people and culture lies outside of the current political system. Pat recognizes this. And thankfully Alberta is honest enough to present Buchanan’s views in an objective manner for the public to consider.

  1. Pat’s 100% right. The best we can hope for is separate nations. The 48 states will not hold together as one continuous unit. Of course radical things could happen and change all that but I see balkanization as the future

  2. The piece was written by Tim Alberta. Andre Chung is the author of photographs.

    To the article, indeed, US in their present form are lost and time for balkanization is running out slowly, too.

  3. “[B]uchanan harbors deep concerns over whether Trump, with his off-topic tweeting and pointless fight-picking, has the requisite focus and discipline to execute his nationalist agenda—especially over the opposition of a media-establishment complex bent on his destruction.”

    Obviously, Buchanan is not a commenter at Occidental Dissent, where he would have learned, during the presidential campaign, that anyone who expresses such doubts about Trump should “Shut up, faggot.”

  4. If what Pat is saying is true – I agree with him 100% – we need to start asking ourselves what the best options are for achieving this separation.

    Can it be done through the voting booth, or will the process be so slow and arduous that we’ll end up browned out before the process is complete?

    Or do we let the whole rotten house come crashing down before we go foward?

    LoL!

  6. “It’s Too Late to Save the USA”

    Clarksville, Tx and the Antebellum buildings there, have firmly convinced me that I’ve only ever cared about Dixie. The passing of my elementary school teachers, and their generation, even more so.

  7. @Marcus Cicero

    I was among the WORSE IS BETTER crowd in early 2016, I actually thought that all WN’s should vote for Hillary just to make sure the system collapsed. I changed my mind after talking to Weev, Anglin and Hunter about it and I think I made the only choice that could be made. Weev told me that demoralization would only lead to more and I came to agree with him. NOW WHATS NEXT? I think collapse and revolution

  8. This is probably correct. Incidentally, some Russian pundits and political columnists have been predicting the split-up of the United States since at least 2008, and possibly earlier.

  9. Lots of folks reading OD already knew or suspected this, but coming right from P. Buchanon its really breathtaking. At this point I can only say , death to ZOG, and any survivors with any virtue and fear of God can build a new civilization on the ruins.

  10. @ Jeff Moore

    But we just have to be careful that the possibility of building on the ruins will still exist once all is done.

    Otherwise, we end up as a thrashing massive version of Venezuela like I explained in the article I published earlier.

  11. It all depends on whether a civil war breaks out. And the outcome of the civil war depends on how the military divides up.

  12. there will be no White survival through “Balkanization”. The (((parasite))) will not let go of the Host until it is killed. Either Whites, now undergoing a slow-but-accelerating open-borders/collapsed birthrate genocide, will come to their senses and exterminate the (((parasite))) and its invasive ethnic stormtroopers, or Whites will be extinct in North America well before the end of the 21st century. All this assumes, of course, that the (((parasite))) does not succeed in maneuvering America and Russia into a nuclear war. In which case the northern hemisphere Whites will go extinct in one bright flash.

  13. Just this month Trump has fired missiles at a foreign country allied to Russia and Iran and fighting ISIS/al Qaeda/whatever based on the word of Muslim maniacs and the urging of the secret police and without congressional approval or, more importantly, an investigation. He has moved from “I love Wikileaks!” to support the arrest of Assange. And on Friday he did his best Jeb impression– substituting “a matter of heart” for “act of love”– when discussing the so-called Dreamers. Trump had promised to end Obama’s “illegal and unconstitutional” amnesty on Day One.

    I don’t care so much about his tweeting or picking petty fights. I am upset about the sudden and significant violation of his pledges.

  14. Old good Pat is wrong like always. Cultural Learnings of Kazakhstan for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of America.

    Ethnic census 1989 census 1999 census 2009
    group Kazakhs 39.7 % 53.5% 63.1%

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kazakhstan#Demographics

    Genetical liberals are the problem, not factories or jews or immigrants. There are already small white ethnostates. Sweden for example…

    Get rid from the liberal whites. That is the root cause of all problems. Without this important job, your beloved Confederate States of America will become a little bigger Sweden and Chelsea Clinton will be it,s first female president…..:D:D

  15. Pat Buchanan is well aware of the hebes media conglomerate ownership monopoly, pro-white excommunicated.

  16. Kazakhstan is becoming more Kazakh because Russians leave. I have been in Alma-Ata (Almaty) and met many Russians there as well as Greeks (!) and Germans. I was told that northern Kazakhstan (“Southern Siberia”) was heavily Russian. In general, the cities were Russian and the countryside Kazakh. This was during Soviet power. People have migrated since then. Are you saying this is what must happen here, Juri?

  17. @Haxo Nuclear war would be a hell of a way to get rid of the cities and their DIVERSITY. Whites would survive in pockets, the muds would starve and die BUT here’s the rub. Nuclear radiation would render much of our world uninhabitable

  18. “Genetical liberals are the problem, not factories or jews or immigrants. There are already small white ethnostates. Sweden for example”

    You haven’t been reading the news from Sweden lately. It’s no longer a white ethnostate.

    “Get rid from the liberal whites. That is the root cause of all problems. ”

    Check your history and see what happened to MLK when he went to Chicago. 99% of liberals will fall into line if a new powerful regime takes over. But it has to be established from a big chunk of the US- presumably after the American Empire itself has already collapsed.

    Here was Sweden before it became part of the American Empire in 1945:
    http://conswede.blogspot.com/2008/07/social-paradigms-shift-eg-our-view-on.html

    o illustrate what I talk about. Louis Armstrong visited Sweden in 1933. In all the news papers he was describe as something monkey-like let loose from the jungle. All across the line! And in the reviews by the most serious music critics.

    Who would have imagined in 1933, that twelve years later Western Europe would undergo an America-led cultural revolution which would lead to the common belief that there are no differences between races?

    Translation of two of the quotes:

    Knut Bäck in Göteborgs-Posten, November 1933:
    “This world is strange… No protests are raised against how the jungle is let loose into the society. Armstrong and his band are allowed to freely wreak destruction.”

    Sten Broman in Sydsvenskan, November 1933:
    “Dare I say that he at times had something monkey-like about him and sometimes reminded of, according to our perceptions, a mentally disturbed person, when he pouted with his mouth or gaped it to its widest open and roared like a hoarse animal from a primeval forest.”

    The third quote compares the concert with a natural disaster, and Armstrong’s trumpet with a hell machine. The only good thing coming out of it, he says, is that it solves to old dispute of whether monkeys have a language.

    This is what Europe looked like, up until 1945. And since some people will live under the misconception that this was a phenomenon of the ’30s, I here provide a quote from the Swedish Encyclopedia, Nordisk Familjebok, the 1876-1899 edition (here and here).

    “Psychologically the negro can be said be on the level of a child, with vivid fantasy, lack of endurance, … can be said to lack morality rather than being immoral … etc.”

    Even though the point here has been to illustrate how social paradigms can shift completely in short time (and this is just one out of numerous examples), let me add how up until 1945 all the focus was put on the differences between races, and after that all the focus has been put on what is equal (while ignoring differences). Let’s see if the next shift means a synthesis of the two extremes. Will people be able to keep two thoughts in their minds at the same time?

  19. We should go ahead and plan a 2 fold strategy:
    1: how to survive the collapse and best carry on afterwards
    2: how to keep birth rates up and miscegenation down in the meantime.

  20. fertility is concentrated in the 1st generation among immigrants, and most of them are economic migrants who will leave if and when things get tough. The country is still very much fixable, and perhaps even democratically so. The threat that Trump might put America first was enough to put a stunning reversal to several negative Trends for America(though it should be plainly obvious to anyone paying attention that this is over), so don’t count us down and out just yet.

  21. @ Michael Cushman

    You’re welcome.

    There were/are examples when nations managed to roll back the clock on the diversity, but it was always against Europeans, as far as I remember (the only exception to this rule being the reconquista on Iberian peninsula – this of course happened 500 years ago). Now, our future looks very bleakly. Especially with todays means of transport and communication, everything now happens on the global stage.

  22. I think we are facing some very unpleasant things already. The U.S has two to three million people in prison, God knows how many on parole, 95 million out of the workforce, apparently the majority of the world’s drug addicts, way too many suicides. the debts may already by at unsustainable levels, and who knows what will happen if the Russians and Chinese make good on their efforts to replace the dollar as world’s reserve currency.

    I believe what we’re facing is unsustainable, but it’s hard to see exactly how it all plays out. Like many on the alt right, I don’t care about the big cities, the east coast, or California, it stopped being white territory 30 years ago.

    I agree with President Davis, survive as best we can and carry on, continue society as much as possible.

  23. It will be a sad day when Pat Buchanan is gone. I suspect that Buchanan is responsible for converting many of us, including myself, to White Advocacy.

    Buchanan had a wealthy, privileged background, the article is wrong in stating that Buchanan had an ordinary upbringing. Buchanan’s father was a partner in one of the most prominent DC accounting firms. In this aspect, Buchanan is similar to Richard Spencer.

    In his heart of hearts, Buchanan knows that America will balkanize along ethnic lines like Austria-Hungary and the Soviet Union did.

  24. In terms of electoral politics…if Trump ends up doing more harm than good and fails to come through in a significant way on his “America First” platform, then I’m jumping back to the position of ‘hasten the fall’. I’m still open to Trump redeeming himself, even though the odds get bleaker by the day, but if he doesn’t, then I’m going to vote for the most godawful globalist available. Let it burn.

    This is, of course, assuming that Richard Spencer doesn’t snag the GOP nomination next cycle. /s

  25. @curri

    “”””…..You haven’t been reading the news from Sweden lately. It’s no longer a white ethnostate……””””

    I don,t need news from Sweden, I live in the Eastern Europe and visit this country approx 4 times a year because of my job.

    “”…. 99% of liberals will fall into line if a new powerful regime takes over….””

    You are absolutely right. But do we want next madness instead of current one or do we want civilization
    and freedom back ??????

    That is why we need finish off liberals. I don,t want to go to jail, because I wrote in the Facebook that some niggers are bad. But also I don,t want to go in jail because I wrote in the Facebook that some niggers are good.

    So what we gonna do ?
    1. Let,s go to jail, because we say niggers are bad
    2.Let,s go to jail, because we say niggers are good.
    3.Finish off white liberals, so we get free speech back and nobody cares what you say about niggers or everything else.

    We here in Eastern Europe stepped on this landmine. Liberals became patriots over the night and all marxists in the university remained in their seats. We got one madness instead of another. In the year 1991 professor explained that faggotry is crime by the USSR penal code and in the year of 1993 the very same professor forced every last student watch movie Philadelphia and when your review was negative then you did not graduate.

    We fought back 10 long years and then we got rid from the liberals. But at least sound was good. Anti white hatemonger Bruce Sringsteen makes good melody.

  26. Buchanan is trying to get a show on CNN

    “Whitey, it’s too late!”

    What a toad.

  27. Hey, Bonacoursi, let’s say Trump tried to throw the election in his rather unorthodox campaign…the voters didn’t let him get away with it and punished him with winning. One. Too. Many. Times.

  28. Buchanan is spot on as usual. A White minority country sounds depressing but that why we need our own space to survive. league of the south brought that up a lot.

  29. As most of you know already Paddy O. Buchanan has Irish Roman Catholic blowhard status with me. Not that Buchanan doesn’t get it right once in awhile by mistake.

    Let’s not forget Buchanan blew up the Reform Party by himself, with his choice of a nice colored lady as his VP. He couldn’t find a sane, White man to fill in for himself?

  30. In today’s world, merely stopping future immigration is an inadequate measure. In the meantime, non whites already inside the gates are still out breeding us. A total cleanout is required and making it a retrospective policy where the immigrants of today and yesterday are treated the same and removed, including those born locally. Their race and culture, rather than their place of birth, should determine their fate.
    No more sob stories. No more ‘but our lives are in danger’. The governments responsibility should first and foremost be OUR human rights and safety. The brown turd worlder filth have plenty of nations of their own, where their race can flourish if they try.
    Running off to the safety of white nations is gutless, and not helping their nation or people at all. Why can’t they be grown men and fight for the betterment of their own lands? That is THEIR job. We can babysit them no more.
    If you do break away, build a wall from the get go. You don’t want a Mexico to your north.

  31. Buchanan has been correct about damn near everything since I was a little kid and I’m starting to get old.

  32. “Buchanan has been correct about damn near everything since I was a little kid and I’m starting to get old.”

    This. Why was Buchanan not President? He would have BTFOd Bill Clinton in the 1996 election.

    I second Mr. Owen’s ‘LOL’ of Mr. Bonaccorsi’s comment!

  34. @Krafty Wurker

    Don’t have all the details of Buchanan’s ancestry, but long ago I read an online comment that concluded with something like “and thus [Buchanan] is neither Irish nor Irish Catholic as those terms are ordinarily used in the United States.” The commenter’s point seemed to be that Buchanan’s Catholicism was on his mother’s side, which was German, and that his father was Scots-Irish (as was that other famous American Buchanan, President James). The Googling I’ve done since I read your comment gives me the impression that that—if I’ve remembered it correctly—was not entirely accurate, since the father seems to have been both Irish and Scots-Irish and maybe Catholic himself.

    Though Buchanan’s mother was from Pennsylvania, his father was Virginia-born and had two ancestors who fought for the Confederacy. Obviously, that leaves open the possibility that, as you say, Buchanan is a blowhard.

  35. Mr. Buchanan is absolutely right : we must divide and let The White leftist Yankees and Southern Scalawags have their areas to roam with the favoured minorities, so that we, The Red State Whites can survive and thrive.

  36. @Michael Cushman…

He can move people in a more identitarian direction. But ultimately, our salvation as a people and culture lies outside of the current political system. ‘

    Perfectly balancet and pithy analysis, Mr. Cushman.

    You found the silver lining, did not get weighed down by what ain’t, and gave a clear, concrete, and uplifting indication to all concerned.

    Bravo!

  37. Start preparing for the effects of thermonuclear warfare…It’s coming…from its ashes if the land is not totally uninhabitable we will have to start all over with a free Southern nation…

  38. Of course it’s too late. The USA disappeared in 1865. This is Merika now. All Trump does is delay the inevitable total collapse of society.

  39. @Turn Hearts.

    ‘Start preparing for the effects of thermonuclear warfare’

    No way, My. Dear. North Korea can’t even keep the CIA from hacking their launch codes, and Russia has zero interest in nuclear war.

    The nuclear war will be domestick – a division into two countries.

  40. While we may see a formal break up of the US at some point in the future, we’ve already seen a de facto break up. I live in a white suburb and send my white kids to majority white schools with majority white kids and teachers (liberals all) and do majority white activities, like swimming, soccer (I know – too European), baseball, dance (for the girls only). We go to Church every Sunday

  41. A good analogy of our situation could be that of an Australian bushfire. The whole area goes up as a result of overgrowth, heat and mismanagement. BUT green shoots begin appearing in the aftermath. It will take a near death experience or war for us to finally pull together. But we will win, start fresh and have our nation’s and culture back.
    Remember if our minorities become the majority, they’ll want things done their way. The constitution is just a piece of paper.
    When we rebuild post war, we need to rid the virus of cucktitis out of our government, schools, churches, universities and media, and begin having pride in ourselves again.
    We don’t have endless civil wars or live in caves or expect the world to carry us. We’re better than that. We’ve achieved a lot and have much to be proud of.
    Forget Trump. Down the track its obvious something else and more extreme is required.

    He also blew it up by talking about abortion to try and get the right wing religious vote, which is a loser conservative move. He should have stuck with one issue – Immigration.

    Give people real hope and then crush it as what Trump is doing, is what revolutions are made of.
