Far Right politics needs to move beyond "Fishback" type people
Poast new message in this thread
Date: August 19th, 2026 12:32 PM Author: Richard Ames There will be no meaningful progress in electing truly right wing people if the candidates are people like James Fishback. I really believe that a majority of people would welcome ostensibly right wing politics if delivered by competent and trustworthy men who have their shit together outside of politics.
BAP has flaws, but I always think about the section in Bronze Age Mindset that says something to the effect of "imagine a man who looks like Mitt Romney and who behaves as such (and not like a fucking cuck)." i.e.) someone who is respectable, looks decent, has his shit meaningfully together, and then brings a combination of right wing views + competency to the table.
I love Fuentes, but him backing Fishback was retarded and he puts way too much emphasis on "aura" bullshit (of which Fishback has none to begin with).
Though with all that said, it is probably impossible to do this while Trump is still alive. |

it's just a matter of generational turnover. there's nothing that can be done electorally until boomers die out. if you actually look at the demographics of who votes in republican primaries, it's fucking nuts. it's all boomers. their raw numerical advantage is unassailable |

Date: August 19th, 2026 12:46 PM Author: Richard Ames He should've run for a State House seat, not Governor. But he's an attention seeker.
Someone like him as Governor would do more harm than good IMO. |

Date: August 19th, 2026 12:51 PM Author: 9 follower twitter race scientist how do you figure? the guy who is going to win the republican governorship is a literal nigger eGOP stooge who will expand benefits for boomers, expand preferential treatment for jews, and continue to suppress QOL for whites and people younger than boomers
the "damage" is done by establishment candidates continuing to win. whatever amount of bad policies or decisions made by someone like fishback would be net less damaging than another status quo stooge hostile to our interests |

the fishback archetype of person is very good at winning elections. mamdani ran the same playbook but with way more favorable demographics. are these people any good at "governing?" no, probably not, but that doesn't matter in 2026 anyway |

Date: August 19th, 2026 1:33 PM Author: Richard Ames I mean he lost the election. So it does seem like it is actually not how you win. At least not in a GOP primary. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5894905&forum_id=2...id#50078204) |

Date: August 19th, 2026 1:41 PM Author: Richard Ames I think Trump is the actual largest impediment here. Because in order to be a major candidate for the GOP you basically need to glaze Trump. And anyone who fits a more truly competent archetype is not going to do that. So you end up with Fishback.
Boomers will absolutely vote for someone who is "based and redpilled." But they care far more about "presentability" or whatever than some doomer 27 year old (who will probably also care more about competence and presentability as they get older and realize that getting shit done is much different than saying based shit). |

Date: August 19th, 2026 1:00 PM Author: Richard Ames I am the biggest advocate on this great bort of "walking away" from politics. But when I see people talking about a guy like Fishback as some great candidate, I just shake my head. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5894905&forum_id=2...id#50078134) |

Date: August 19th, 2026 2:02 PM Author: SniggIe Guys like Fishback push the Overton window. The risk-averse, sensible mitt Romney types will only begin spouting far-right talking points when it’s clear those talking points are safe. By the time they are safe, they are then mainstream. Almost by definition, anyone willing to push the limits on politics will be viewed as unbalanced and risky. Richard Spencer tried a decade ago, and Fishback’s physical appearance is more put together than plenty of mainstream politicians (lol Nancy Mace). But pushing far right/left ideas will always come with risk. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5894905&forum_id=2...id#50078276) |
