Dustin Granger's Explicit Race Agenda
The Democrat running for state treasurer
Dustin Granger is either shameless or confused. My best guess is “confused,” and in this article I’m taking no personal pot shots, landing no low blows.
Truly.
Mr Granger seems a nice man - a husband and father, well-liked in his southwest Louisiana community. He manages money for a living. He goes fishing with his Dad. He brings his daughters for ice cream and out to the beach.
I have no cause to doubt Mr Granger’s personal integrity.
But my man, Dustin, politics is not for you, bro!
Dustin Granger has been infected with a very bad case of Progressivism. Despite his kind disposition and generally professional deportment, he can’t resist the dumb temptations of Progressivism; they make sense to him the way they make sense to other Progressives: they see a symmetry in Progressivism without realizing that, though symmetrical, the construct is backwards. He’s not aware of what he doesn’t understand about his thinking.
Progressives are unaware that they get it all backwards; it’s their defining trait.
There are millions of Dustin Grangers in our country, each of them exploited by the Nancy Pelosi and AOC types who fully manipulate their good intentions, their feelings. Leftists exploit the Progressives’ wish to be “nice.”
I’ve written about “nice” and it’s nothing good:
Dustin Granger seems a sincere believer…
… and with no condescension whatsoever, I pity the man. I really do. By his understanding of things, he’s acting with good intentions, with a sincere wish to serve. If you were to ask him and if his modesty would allow him to answer, he’d tell you that he’s a “nice” guy.
But a “nice” Progressive remains a Transgressive. A force of collapse. A cause of confusion. A walking civil war that infects others with the germ of “nice” -symptoms being all things “Progressive,” all things divisive.
Dustin Granger strikes me as a person who one day will be “Red Pilled.” He’ll realize, when the scales fall off his eyes, that he had, till then, got things wrong. He’ll experience that “Ah-Ha” moment of crisp awareness, the “I can’t un-see it anymore” phenomenon. He’ll wonder how he ever could have been so obviously wrong! It’s blasphemous to him to consider it now, but one day it’ll hit him like a ton of Truth Bricks. He won’t be able to deny it. He got it wrong, nice though he is. (His failure in this campaign might itself become the Red Pill.)
Until that time, however, Dustin Granger totally sucks at politics!
Bro! You’re not cut out for this, man. Shelve the high political aspirations!
His campaign launch video, the “I was told not to tell you the truth” shtick…
More clever than good More produced than peaty organic More 1990s Democrat uncomfortably packaged in 2023
A sales pitch not worth buying.
An unoriginal Democrat, but he’s sincere.
Through Twitter’s direct messaging, Mr Granger and I have traded ideas, though none recently as the campaign is in the final stretch.
Here, about the Socialists, he said…
I honestly don’t know much about DSA other than I see people with a red rose in their profile. Do they claim to be Marxist? I thought it was more of a Bernie sanders political platform.
In mid-June, Granger asked me…
Can you help me reach conservative audiences in Louisiana?
I said yes, that I would help him.
In fact, I had a central role in Mr Granger meeting Jeff Crouere, prominent Conservative radio host - WGSO.com - weekdays 7 - 11 - 990AM.
(They met at a Democrat Party meet-n-greet; I attended under concealed name to protect the innocent. I enabled their meeting.)
But I had encouraged Mr Granger well before mid-June to appear on Jeff’s show; he reacted with some doubt…
I engaged with him a lot on energy/power issues, especially SMRs:
I’ve been researching nuclear SMRs
I appealed to him to reconsider renewables, to address the systemic and layered problems of solar/wind/battery power systems. I had no misgivings that he wouldn’t switch stances on “climate change” but I hoped he would discover nuclear power’s political power, benefiting everyone with dependable, safe, weather-durable, affordable power.
Nuclear delivers these!
Would he bring nuclear power and SMRS into the mix of his campaign? Would he promote nuclear to make himself distinct in the field, and worthy of consideration?
No.
He’s stuck on “renewables” = solar/wind/battery, and the Transgressives our friends at The Gambit reward him for it:
Granger’s social media self-promotion derived from this blurb in a state race round-up article, where Gambit wrote:
Granger says he will use the treasurer’s office to help the state shift to an economy based less on fossil fuel companies and more on renewable energy firms. He supports Gov. John Bel Edwards’ decision to cut tax breaks for manufacturing companies.
Granger also criticizes Schroder’s decision to pull $800 million of state funds out of BlackRock last year because of BlackRock’s support of environmental, social and governance (ESG) policies that include countering climate change. Schroder argued that ESG policies undermine oil and gas states like Louisiana. “The people of Louisiana don’t need a lobbyist for the fossil fuel industry as the treasurer,” Granger said.
McKnight and Fleming support Schroder’s decision, saying BlackRock acted in a political fashion.
He didn’t interact with me much when I highlighted this freakishly racist agenda, as found on Granger’s campaign website:
I read this as: “I’ll exploit the power of state government to redistribute money to black people when you vote for me.”
Okay… moving along.
He’s a good fellow-ish…
What’s Granger’s campaign message?
“Trickle down economics” is “a vicious cycle” and too much of it is why “Louisiana SUCKS”…
And he gets a bit foily tin hat…
We use race dog whistles, y’all !!! …
Let’s not exhaust you further on Dustin Granger’s candidacy for state treasurer.
(McKnight has deep financial and legislative experience; Fleming has business and government experience. Both have served the citizens well.)
We wish Mr Granger the best, and we promised to get a beer sometime once election day passes.
But bro, you ain’t cut out for this job, man.
The company he keeps…
