An article in the New York Post by Chadwick Moore, a self-described gay man, is an excellent window into the poisoned political atmosphere resulting from (and perhaps contributing to) the election of Donald Trump (“I’m a gay New Yorker — and I’m coming out as a conservative“). The very many Trump supporters who have found that longtime friends, lovers, and family will no longer speak to them — apart from invidious name-calling — will perhaps find a bit of solace in his experience.
Moore made the tragic mistake of writing a neutral article about Milo Yiannopoulis in Out, a liberal magazine catering to gays.
After the story posted online in the early hours of October 21, I woke up to more than 100 Twitter notifications on my iPhone. Trolls were calling me a Nazi, death threats rolled in and a joke photo that I posed for in a burka served as “proof” that I am an Islamophobe.
I’m not.
Most disconcertingly, it wasn’t just strangers voicing radical discontent. Personal friends of mine — men in their 60s who had been my longtime mentors — were coming at me. They wrote on Facebook that the story was “irresponsible” and “dangerous.” A dozen or so people unfriended me. A petition was circulated online, condemning the magazine and my article. All I had done was write a balanced story on an outspoken Trump supporter for a liberal, gay magazine, and now I was being attacked. I felt alienated and frightened.
I hope New Yorkers can be as accepting of my new status as a conservative man as they’ve been about my sexual orientation.
I lay low for a week or so. Finally, I decided to go out to my local gay bar in Williamsburg, where I’ve been a regular for 11 years. I ordered a drink but nothing felt the same; half the place — people with whom I’d shared many laughs — seemed to be giving me the cold shoulder. Upon seeing me, a friend who normally greets me with a hug and kiss pivoted and turned away.
Frostiness spread far beyond the bar, too. My best friend, with whom I typically hung out multiple times per week, was suddenly perpetually unavailable. Finally, on Christmas Eve, he sent me a long text, calling me a monster, asking where my heart and soul went, and saying that all our other friends are laughing at me.
I realized that, for the first time in my adult life, I was outside of the liberal bubble and looking in. What I saw was ugly, lock step, incurious and mean-spirited. …
I began to realize that maybe my opinions just didn’t fit in with the liberal status quo, which seems to mean that you must absolutely hate Trump, his supporters and everything they believe. If you dare not to protest or boycott Trump, you are a traitor.
If you dare to question liberal stances or make an effort toward understanding why conservatives think the way they do, you are a traitor.
Note particularly the last comment: “If you dare to question liberal stances or make an effort toward understanding why conservatives think the way they do, you are a traitor.” Being a Trump supporter is not simply misguided. Such a person is malevolent. Such a person is consumed by hatred, anger and fear towards gays, women, non-Whites, and every group in the victim class pantheon. Even trying to understand such a person is itself evil.
And that’s the problem. Being cast as evil means you are outside the moral community. There’s no need to talk with you, no need to be fair, or even worry about your safety. You are like an outlaw in Old Norse society —“a person [who] lost all of his or her civil rights and could be killed on sight without any legal repercussions” — or sucker-punched by antifas, an action that is much approved on the left. By vilifying us as moral cretins, people automatically close off the possibility of even trying to see the world as we see it. After all, if a person is morally culpable, there is the implication that that person is blameworthy. Excuses like having different, sincerely held beliefs, no matter how well-founded, don’t have to be considered. Immorality implies malicious intentions.
When I was growing up in the Midwest, coming out to my family at the age of 15 was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. Today, it’s just as nerve-wracking coming out to all of New York as a conservative. But, like when I was 15, it’s also weirdly exciting.
I’ve already told my family, and it’s brought me closer to my father. He’s a Republican and a farmer in Iowa, and for years we just didn’t have very much to talk about. But after Trump’s inauguration, we chatted for two hours, bonding over the ridiculousness of lefties. But we also got serious: He told me that he is proud of my writing, and I opened up about my personal life in a way I never had before to him.
I’ve made some new friends and also lost some who refuse to speak to me. I’ve come around on Republican pundit Ann Coulter, who I now think is smart and funny and not a totally hateful, self-righteous bigot. A year ago, this would have been unfathomable to me. …
And I hope that New Yorkers can be as open-minded and accepting of my new status as a conservative man as they’ve been about my sexual orientation.
Good luck with that!

Moore will no doubt have a time of it for a while but now digest this, from Haaretz of the 14th.
” Fluid Gender, Rigid World. How a Hasidic rabbi came out as trans woman. Yisroel Stein is no longer an ultra-Orthodox rabbi, married or male. The only American Hasid to come out publicly after gender transitioning , he is now Abby – ambitious [Columbia U.] student, popular speaker and community activist “.
Apparently when still a he, he only spoke Yiddish, i.e. no English, though a native of Brooklyn. His marriage was arranged which gave him a son. Columbia has a special program for applicants of peculiar backgrounds; in his/her case illiteracy in English. She [by then] was obliged to write a short entrance essay: instead of which a three sentence bio of her life sufficed; stating that she had never listened to music or attended a movie or other theater. Why only Columbia, this qualified her for Harvard if one rates that institution by some of its more famous output.
Dr. MacDonald…about this guy…you are so right. He will need lots of luck…he doesn’t grasp the world he lives in. Thanks to your work…it is possible for others to have a better understanding of the negative forces against Western Culture.
I really wish people would stop using the term “liberal” to describe anti-whites. They are illiberal and completely opposed to the liberal values of the Enlightenment. Donald Trump is a classical liberal.
The New York City anti-white (for lack of a better term) “progressive” scene is very much cult-like with a siege mentality. I would assume it is particularly pronounced among homosexuals (as many of them move to NYC because they both reject, and are rejected by, their own families and communities.)
Of course the anti-white hatred is notorious among Jews. Jews use terms like “fly over country” to express their contempt for the people of America outside of Jewish cities like NYC and Los Angeles. An infamous Jewish film, “The Tollbooth,” made the contempt even more clear – even going too far into New Jersey was guaranteed to expose a young Jewess dating a hated “goyim” to “virulent anti-semitism” from the wicked White Anglo-Saxon Protestants who not only kept poor Uncle Shlomo out of the Presbyterian gold club but constantly tell “Jew jokes” when they think Jews aren’t listening. So of course the young Jewess decides to dump her “goyim” fiancee, stay in Brooklyn, and marry a “nice Jewish boy.”
Interesting how it is ok for Jews to disapprove of intermarriage but it’s “racism” when Whites do it.
A lot of this leftist NYC mentality can be explained as simple provincialism – there are plenty of Manhattan Jews that brag about never going north of 14th Street except for their Birthright Israel trip to the apartheid regime of Jew bigotry in Zionist-occupied Palestine. There is also a case of “the guilty flee when no man pursueth” – they often seem to have a guilty conscience and project their own hatred onto the “other” – meaning, regular White people.
New York Jews most certainly do not have any sincere affection for Black people or other non-Whites, but simply use them as a proxy with which to attack Whites.
It is rather odd how Donald Trump – a Jew loving, Israel supporting liberal who spent most of his life supporting the Democratic party – and who sounds like Howard Dean when he discusses George W. Bush – has all of a sudden turned into this hate character on the left.
I think the “progressive” Democrats were honestly surprised at Trump’s win and were livid that their enemy, the “fly over country goyim” – rejected their plans for turning America into a Jew-managed globalist Empire.
I only hope that Whites realize that Trump himself, even if he was pro-White (which he is not) simply does not have the power to turn the tide. The best we can hope for is some breathing room for the next four years, at best.
So it is incumbent on us to organize now, before it’s too late, and not fall for the temptation that “God Emperor Daddy Trump” is some sort of Messiah that will save us.

Thank you for clearing up some more questions I had concerning President Donald Trump. I absolutely agree with your last sentence. If Trump supporters think that he will actually be their salvation all by himself, they are a deluded lot. Everyone in this country seems to intellectualize everything, thinking their emotions or intellect are correct. They are not. The plain fact is that it is what one does that counts. I have found out that only when I actually did something, took action on something, did I come to any real practical truths.
What?!?
I am not trying to start a fight with you, as I respect your opinion.
According to your assertions I am a malevolent deviant.
The many adult foster children I have, and continue to foster (a variety of color/creed/orientation), would disagree with you.
Your over generalizations and blind hate do not add much to the conversation.
It is these types of comments and irrational beliefs that add to the hatefulness and anger so ever present in this world today…
“Hate” is never a motive in itself. It is always a reaction, whether its intensity or scope is justified or not. Hate between races only arises when group interests are perceived to be threatened, which is always the case in multi-racial societies. Therefore no multi-racial societies – let alone multi-racial “families” – should be formed. Trying to form a multi-racial “family” as a foreshadow of a utopian multi-racial world is a typical irrational attempt of which only women are capable.
Just wondering who you are addressing, exactly.
This article misses the point.
NYers will tolerate Conservatives such as Neocons.
After all, Wall Street is filled with Neocons and Libertarian ‘conservative’ types.
The problem in this case is a midwestern gentile supports a NATIONALIST.
That is what’s freaking the Jews out. (As for gentile cucks,they have no minds of their own and bark to their Jewish masters’ orders.)
Jews are all about Jewish supremacism, and they see the European Awakening as a threat to their power.
Jews care about non-whites? Jews supported Clinton and Giuliani who cracked down hard on black crime. Jews supported Michael ‘Stop and Frisk’ Bloomberg three times. Jews support Zionism that oppresses Palestinians. Jews used Hillary and Obama to wreak havoc all over the Muslim world. All this Jewish feigning sympathy for Muslims is to cover up their crimes against the Muslim world.
Jews, who are themselves inveterate supremacists, only “feel sympathy” with underdogs if they can use them in their fight against those whom they perceive as a threat to their own supremacy. Thus Muslims, homosexuals, people of color, and women are used in their fight against the Christian, heterosexual, white male, the only serious competitor in their quest for world domination. In reality the Jews only feel contempt for the underdogs they so use, and they will drop them as soon as they don’t need them anymore.
No, this article doesn’t miss any point…I don’t understand why you think President Trump is a *nationalist*. He is not; at least in the traditional and accepted sense of the word. He is an “American Traditionalist”. His position right now merely makes it possible for *nationalists* to exist in this country. Had another leftist won the presidential election any and all opposition would already be dead or in concentration camps before the year is out. The writer of this article is merely pointing to how intolerant the left really is…even this so-called NYC GAY is going to need all the LUCK he can get…and I doubt he will find it.
Most gays are not Islamophobic — they do not fear people who would throw them off a rooftop at the first opportunity. When vanilla (or should I say chocolate?) sex gets boring, they seek out sex with the men most likely to hurt them (“rough trade”) and the men most likely to infect them with AIDS (“bug chasing”).
It is clearly not in the long-term interest of feminists and gays to vote for a candidate who wants to bring millions more Muslims to America. Then again, when your lifestyle is certain to produce no offspring, you don’t really have a “long-term interest”.
This pretty little colorful bubble filled with endearing liberalism appears to be propelled by stiff breezes of OPINION TERROR.
“Note particularly the last comment: “If you dare to question liberal stances or make an effort toward understanding why conservatives think the way they do, you are a traitor.” Being a Trump supporter is not simply misguided.

I think you are over-explaining. It is true that the “narrative” used to be the inverted passive-aggressive victim narrative. The real “narrative”, however, is hatred of middle and “traditional” life and its people – and this is increasingly being stated explicitly and unapologetically.
I believe it’s really about money and genetics. Keep in mind the liberals are riding a fifty year (plus) gravy train. The Alt Right is rocking that train and they don’t like it!
Absolutely. One only has to think of the millions of jobs liberals are involved in, that are essentially gravy train type jobs. Yeah, it’s mainly about money for them, as it always is for most people. Reminds me of the constant, never ending crying that teachers unions and teachers in California do, concerning their pay that never seems to be enough. I know teachers who came to California from places like Michigan and they thought they entered the promised land when it came to the benefits and pay in California,etc. But the same is true for other state employees that have come to California from other states. The left has created so many high paying jobs for themselves, that some of them are now leading better lives, financially speaking, than the minor royalty of Europe did!!!!
