Blake Masters For The Senate

Or How Liberals Tarnish The National Memory & Why You Should Be Against Them

A Mr. Blake Masters has declared he will run for a Senate seat in Arizona in 2022 on a populist Republican platform. Republicans badly need that seat, as they have found by losing control of the Senate last year. Moreover, Republicans badly need younger, more vigorous, more serious candidates instead of the usual mediocrities who look good on TV & get through the right party vetting, then mouth off the pieties of the previous generation or two, & finally make careers out of watching the country be delivered unto newer, more Progressive abominations. Incumbency is killing the party as surely as electoral losses: The victories of 2010 & then 2014-6 have done precious little to improve things for Republicans, indeed, the party elite is weaker & more hated than it’s been since Reagan. Remember that Trump became president when the electorate got a look at what the GOP elite had to offer & hated what they saw…

Masters went to the Ivies for law school & has worked for a long time for Peter Thiel, running Thiel Capital, which invests more than a billion dollars. Thiel seems to be the only intellectual among America’s billionaires, a living reminder of the attractions, powers, & puzzles of a classical education. Thiel’s puzzle is, he’s a libertarian who supported Trump in 2016, & who does business with the military-industrial complex. Thiel’s unforgivable crime is that he’s a billionaire, but not a Progressive. As we all know, rich & educated Americans have made sure to prove their caste-like superiority to middle-class Americans by enforcing a ruthless uniformity of thought, speech, &, increasingly, activity through woke madness. Dissent from that uniformity leads to hatred, since it reveals that Americans are still free, that liberals have not yet installed a despotism, & this might give hope that the middle class might find leaders & thus reveal cracks in the elite caste—above all, it might give hope to the young, especially the men who gather online to display their hatred of liberal elites. Now, Thiel is bankrolling the Masters campaign & already, contemptible liberals are blasting a populist millionaire. What’s Masters’ crime? He said Americans should be able to raise a family on one income! If he adds that he wants parents to be able to educate their children instead of having liberal propaganda dominate schooling he’s probably going to be called a monster…

I’m for Blake Masters, even though I dunno him personally. So I’m writing to tell you to support him, too. I was telling Masters the other day on Twitter that the hit pieces on him are going to start very quickly & that I hope he has it in him to be treated like the devil without losing his mind. Think of how many decent people have been driven mad by the shamelessness of our decadent elites… Well, the hit pieces have started. That’s politics—nobody who can’t face it should even bother with it much. But a politician cannot do it alone, so do what you can to support Blake Masters & men like him. (He sounds similar to J.D. Vance, another Silicon Valley exile who turned very conservative & who’s running for Senate in Ohio. Another man I’m for & I think you should support, too.)

If we want a reasonable hope of restoring political dignity, of restoring the dignity of the middle class, then we need men like Masters. One way we will know that things are getting better is that if such men win, we will again be familiar with the Founders as our educators regarding politics.

Watch this beautiful political ad Masters made to announce he is running for office. As my friends say, it’s like a Terrence Malick movie! That’s a good thing, in a way—Malick is the only prestigious director in Hollywood who’s a friend to Christianity & not an enemy to conservatives!
