Counter-Currents is trying to raise $150,000 this year. Thus far, we have received 737 donations totaling $108,682.84, for which we are enormously grateful. We are thus past the two-thirds point! We will keep the fundraiser going as long as needed, but the ultimate deadline is the end of the year, just over two months away. That’s a lot of ground to cover, so we will be kicking our efforts into overdrive.
A generous donor recently offered a $5,000 matching grant, which is now used up. If any of you wish to offer a similar grant, please get in touch with me at [email protected].
Full information about how you can help appears below. But first, a few words about the US Presidential election.
***
I know many decent, race-conscious whites who want to sit out the upcoming election. I want to change their minds. I want all of my American readers who can vote to vote for Donald Trump. I understand why people are upset with Trump. He had a great opportunity to really turn things around, and he bungled it. Beyond that, his campaign has been terrible. His pandering to non-whites while taking white votes for granted is especially disgusting. He really deserves to lose.
But:
- Trump did keep a lot of his promises. He did many good things for whites and avoided many bad things for whites. For a rundown, see Jared Taylor’s analysis here. (I also endorse the analyses by Kevin MacDonald and Spencer Quinn.) It seems like a failure measured by the standard of what we would have liked Trump to have done–what needed to be done to save America. But it is still an improvement, especially when measured by what would likely have happened under a Hilary Clinton administration.
- A Biden-Harris administration would undo everything good Trump has done and work to accelerate white demographic decline, i.e., the Great Replacement or white genocide. The goal is a permanent Leftist one-party state ruling over a non-white majority, at which point it will be impossible for whites to preserve ourselves within the present political system. Biden has already promised an amnesty and path to citizenship for eleven million illegal aliens. Of course the real number is probably twenty or thirty million. Biden deserves to lose even more than Trump does.
- A Biden-Harris administration would accelerate the already alarming trends toward totalitarianism. There will be more private censorship and deplatforming. There will be more state incursions on our first and second amendment rights. It will be increasingly difficult for white advocates to say or do anything to turn these trends around.
- If Biden wins, you will have an “Oh my God, what have I done?” moment that you will have to live down for the rest of your life. Having elected militant and “competent” anti-whites, perhaps you will repent while sharing a cell with Richard Spencer in Guantanamo.
The bottom line: If Trump loses, we all lose. If Trump wins, we have more of a chance to win. Ultimately, white identitarians are going to be the ones who save white America. Trump was just an opportunity, just a warmup act. When he is gone, real national populists will be waiting to take the stage. But that future may be canceled if Biden wins. So vote Trump.
Some people in reliably red or blue states might argue that their votes won’t count anyway. I used to think that, but I was wrong. Although the election is determined by electoral college votes, remember when Hillary beat Trump in the popular vote? Suddenly, the entire establishment developed Constitutional amnesia and treated it as a great affront to democracy that millions of illegals voting in California could not put Hillary in the White House. Trump needs every vote he can get, popular and electoral. So get out there and deliver them.
Some people argue that the Republicans will never stop ignoring whites and pandering to non-whites unless white people stop voting for them. The sad truth is that they will still do the same thing even if people do stop voting for them, because they would rather lose than be racist. We can’t change these people’s minds by rolling up a newspaper and swatting them like bad dogs. We’ll only change their minds by destroying the fake moral code that says that racism is the worst thing in the world, but only for whites. That’s one of our main tasks at Counter-Currents. Voting for Trump will make it easier for us to stay on the web and fight this crucial intellectual battle.
The cargo cults of Melanesia started during the Second World War when the Allies dropped supplies from airplanes. To this day, the natives hope to make the white man rain down free stuff upon them again by building thatched models of airplanes. Some white advocates seem to think that engaging in a cargo-cult imitation of petulant blacks will make the GOP rain down favors on us.
But it won’t happen. The GOP knows that white people are the adults in the room. We think about the common good. We think about the long run. We think about the lesser of two evils. And we pull the GOP lever once again. That’s what I want you to do this time. Vote for the Orange Man. It’s important.
There are people on the Right criticizing Trump for being pro-Jewish. As if there had ever been any reason to expect otherwise. I didn’t vote for Trump because I thought he would be anti-Jewish. I voted for him because he was significantly more pro-white than his opponent. That is still the case.
There are people on the Right criticizing Trump for being pro-black, pro-Hispanic, and pro-Asian. As if there had ever been any reason to expect otherwise. I didn’t vote for Trump because I thought he would be anti-black, etc. I voted for him because he was significantly more pro-white than his opponent. That is still the case.
There are people on the Right who condemn Trump for being pro-gay. Imagine thinking that Trump would make the Republicans less gay. But, again, I didn’t vote for Trump because I thought he would be anti-gay. I voted for him because he was significantly more pro-white than his opponent. That is still the case.
Some of the same people who hold Trump to these delusional standards mock the delusions of the MAGAtards, Qtards, and other Trump cultists.
But I have no illusions about Donald Trump. I have no apologetics to offer for his failings. Grading him by absolute standards, he deserves to lose. But elections are graded on a curve. And Biden deserves to lose more. So I want you to do the reasonable thing, the responsible thing, the right thing, the white thing, and cast your vote for Donald Trump.
What do I think is going to happen?
This election was the Democrats’ to lose, simply based on demographics. But with the Biden-Harris ticket, they might have been stupid enough to lose it. It was a miracle that Trump was elected in the first place. It will be an even bigger miracle if he gets reelected. But my gut is telling me that he will pull it off.
The only thing I am certain of, however, is that no matter who wins, the other half of the electorate will declare the result illegitimate: Democrats because they are entitled brats. Republicans with very good reason. If Biden wins, it will be because of demographic replacement, ballot fraud, and tech censorship. If Biden wins, he cheated, and Trump should not concede under any circumstances.
What are we going to do at Counter-Currents if Biden is elected? More of the same. The headwinds will be stronger, so we will just have to work harder — all of us will, including you, dear reader. But if Biden does win, tens of millions of white Americans are going to wake up to the fact that their country has been stolen — and their future as a people mortally threatened — by demographic displacement and an opposition handicapped by the delusion that racism is the greatest evil, but only when it favors white people. There will be a lot more people receptive to our arguments. Even though it will become much more difficult to reach them. And perhaps it will be too late.
All the more reason to help Counter-Currents today, while you still can.

Here is how you can help.
Credit Cards
Currently, we are unable to take credit card donations except through Entropy. Entropy is a site that collects “paid chat” or “superchat” donations for live streamers. But they can take donations any time.
Just go to our Entropy page and select “send paid chat.” Entropy allows you to donate any amount from $3 and up. (You can make a donation, even when Entropy says that we are not currently livestreaming.)
If you want to leave a question or comment, they will be read and discussed on the next Counter-Currents Radio livestream, which air on Sundays noon PST/3pm EST on DLive: https://dlive.tv/Counter-Currents
Money Transfers
If your bank does free money transfers to other banks in the US, please contact [email protected].
Gift Cards
Gift cards are a useful way to make donations. Gift cards are available with all the major credit cards as well as from major retailers. You can either send gift cards as donations (either electronically or through the mail) or you can use them to make donations. If you can find a place that sells gift cards for cash, they are as anonymous as sending cash and much safer.
Checks and Money Orders
Sometimes the old ways are best. The least “de-platformable” way to send donations to Counter-Currents is to put a check or money order in the mail. Simply print and complete the Word or PDF donation form and mail it to:
Counter-Currents Publishing, Ltd.
P.O. Box 22638
San Francisco, CA 94122
USA
[email protected]
Thank you, Boomers, for keeping your checkbooks, envelopes, and stamps. There are youngsters reading this site who have never written a check or put a letter in the mail.
Bill Payment Services
If you wish to make monthly donations by mail, see if your bank has a bill payment service. Then all you need to do is set up a monthly check to be dispatched by mail to our PO box. This check can be made out to Counter-Currents or to Greg Johnson. After the initial bother of setting it up, you never have to think about it again.
Crypto-Currencies
In addition to old-fashioned paper donations, those new-fangled crypto-currencies are a good way to circumvent censorious credit card corporations.

Do you think racism is evil, even only a little? Or is it just a lefty swear word?
Properly understood, racism is a very good thing.
“Blood is a very special fluid ” Faust, however, I believe in a future state where dream and the waking state will no longer be contradictory.
As far as I am concerned, “Racism” means Long Live the White race. What ‘s wrong with that ? Nothing.
One cannot be afraid of a word.
The word ‘racism’, as bandied about today, has made racism itself totally irrelevant. A White person can be called ‘racist’ just for smiling at a Black person in passing on the street, because it could be seen as ‘patronizing’ or ‘acting superior’. So, no — racism is not evil, it has become a shop-worn joke, and if anything, our only current crime against Blacks and other ‘continually-insulted minorities’ is to ignore them completely. If you have to work with them, work in peace and harmony to the best of your ability — ‘we’re the smart ones, remember — which is what I did for over 50 years of working alongside many minorities in office-drone situations. Go along to get along, then go home, have a nice drink, play with the kids, and come to Counter Currents for a refuge.
The positive thing about Trump’s defeat will be the absolute shattering at the sub-atomic level of the Tacticool NormieCon ‘Muricatards.
Spite is a self-destructive emotion.
You have no empirical evidence backing up this supposition. It is quite possible the race-naive patriotards will not be awakened, but will just double down on liberal vote stealing conspiracies, or else go back to fishing, working on cars, hanging at the gym and pub, playing videogames, etc. But anyway, the Left is awakened today. Trump’s election meant that their long-assumed demographic glide-path to one party rule could be interrupted, and that White America could yet rally to its own survival. And so they will be out in force to make sure Trump was just a last gasp of White America (as CA’s 1994 anti-illegal alien Prop 187 was the last gasp of an already demographically dying White California). A Trump victory will be hugely symbolically important. It means the war is still on.
Here’s a link to an article on why we all need to vote for Trump in 2020: mainly to stop communism in the United States.
https://www.culturecritique.com/politics/vote-trump-2020/
We are all working toward the same goal. We just have different approaches in doing so.
Trump has helped make it okay to be white again, opposed the teaching of critical race theory, and awoken heritage Americans to the threat of demographic replacement. Let’s give him a chance to double down in his next term.
The simple fact is that all the things that Biden will do, Trump will do, only the MAGAites won’t care if Trump does it.
If demographic displacement is ‘inevitable’ then it’s inevitable and both parties can safely ignore Whites until they can’t anymore. And the only way for that to happen is for Whites to walk away from the institutions of America and become a nation and not just a bunch of bodies.
That’s what White Nationalism is.
That’s just not true that Trump will do all the things Biden will do.
I urge you to read Jared Taylor’s article here and come back here and tell me that there’s no difference between the two:
https://www.amren.com/videos/2020/10/biden-or-trump-how-should-we-prepare/
Who here does not want the Ethnostate? But it won’t just happen. And it will never happen if Biden is able to amnesty 35 million illegal aliens, who will then be statutorily-enabled to bring in 300 million family members. This is the long awaited “Omega Option” (the “Camp of the Saints” option) for the final defeat of the West – a defeat without shots fired in self-defense (except probably by a few Better Dead than Reds at the end).
There is no evidence that Trump would do a mass amnesty. That is reason alone to want Trump to win. Not to mention all Greg’s points about further Constitutional restrictions (1stAm, 2ndAm) aimed at whites; deplatforming; FBI targeting the Right (already happening, will be worse under Biden); draconian socialist /regulatory policies targeting Main Street enterprises (while exempting leftist Big Tech, Big Media, and Wall Street), etc.
This is the end of the country: Jewish + white traitor progtard overclass in league with antifa street psycho mattoids + BLM thug underclass in a crushing pincer against White Middle America. I am not exaggerating. We are close to powerlessness and eventual mandated miscegenation, white economic enslavement and biological extinction. EVERYTHING is on the line. Not voting for Trump in any kind of a swing state (and there are fewer than half of the states that are 100% predetermined) is sheer idiocy. Glad to see Dr. Johnson come round after his early flirtations with other candidate options.
Fuck it, I’m buying some books.
There is always lesser of two evils if we have to put it so cliché:
– Varg-like refusal to vote greatens the percentage for your opposition. If you’re truly blackpilled, so be it, but why even bother to be political at this point and blackpill others? This the argument right wingers use against MGTOW, so I don’t see how it shouldn’t apply to voting.
– Spencerite hot takes about acceleration and hatred for the US will worsen your chances not only politically, but in your daily life. You have no army, you have no political party, you have no real organizations. You won’t gather them under mask-off leftist government. Even then, the state has to fail first, no? USSR lasted over 7 decades, Communist China exists today. Even if Russia or China becomes the new hegemon, they won’t save you, because contrary to twitter fantasies, they don’t care about you. You will be in a very bad situation in such case and reality will kick(read: shoot) you in the ass.
First, let’s assume that Trump loses the 2020 election. Then what?
Well, the anti-Trump sector of the Dissident Right can gain a smug satisfaction that Trump has been duly chastised for falling down on the job as God-Emperor. Trump, perhaps, will regret his failure to live up to the godhead during his tour at the White House. Then the day after Biden is inaugurated president, Trump goes back to being a multi-billionaire power broker with an army of lawyers, PR flaks and security personnel to deal with any Biden administration blowback.
And the anti-Trump Dissident Right, which does not deploy this kind of muscle? One can imagine what happens next…
Second, let’s assume that Trump wins the 2020 election. Then what?
Well, Trump might take note of those elements of the Dissident Right which failed to support his re-election. And then he would have zilch motivation to provide whatever cover to the Dissident Right that he has given over the past four years, even if as superficial as stating that there were “good people” among the Unite the Right marchers.
That is, the Dissident Right would be making one more enemy.
Let me add another factor: there is a very big pro-Trump movement among Americans, especially White Americans. Flags flying, big truck caravans, out in the streets activism. The pro-Trumpers are the very people whom the Dissident Right wants to mobilize. Now, how will they react when the “word” gets out that the same Dissident Right sabotaged their candidate? Think they’ll be showing any interest in White Nationalism? Likely, they’ll go elsewhere and be co-opted by some front for the System. Look at the Tea Party for a precedent.
The Dissident Right can not alienate the very base for whose interests it claims to be fighting.
The 2020 election is not a popularity contest. It’s not about virtue signalling. It’s not about giving approval to the cool kid who wants to be prom king or queen.
This election will be a decisive turning point in the history of the US and the Western world. The Dissident Right has to take a hard headed approach. Voting is one front in a wider struggle.
Think strategically, vote tactically.
C’mon, stop all this foolish talk of not voting for Orange Man Bad. The lesser of two evils is not OMB or OBiden; it is Trump or Kamala Harris. OBiden would be eliminated within six months either by laptop or old age and Harris would be giggling in the Oval Office.
“Brand, did you know? He told you, right? You knew. This was all a sham. You left us here. To suffocate. To starve. Did my father know too? Dad? I just want to know…if you left me here to die.
I just have to know”.
This was from the movie Interstellar and I feel that it captures perfectly the Varg-like refusal to vote and the Spencerite acceleration short-sightness which Andrew in the comments section illustrated for us.
When i read Andrew’s comment about Varg and Spencer I immediately remember that scene in Interstellar.
I’ll vote for him again, for all those reasons. I’m also doing my part to Defund the Cities.
The logical mistake being made here is assuming that Trump has a realistic chance at winning. He does not.
Plan for the reality to come, rather than LARPing about the fantasy world you desire to live in.
Don’t be so sure.
You’re the delusional one if you think Trump *doesn’t* have a realistic chance of winning.
Go look at election analysis from people who accurately predicted the 2016 election and you’ll see that this election is just as tight as the Clinton/Trump election.
Thank you, Greg.
Notice also that the people undermining Trump are the same people who damage the movement at every possible turn.
Failure to support Trump is objectively anti-white.
Why? Because it increases the chance that the greatest anti-white force in in this hemisphere – the American left – will be returned to power both knowing that they have dodged a bullet and with minds set on revenge.
If the racial conscious of American whites was more advanced this might be desirable. But we are simply not there yet. And so to wish for such acceleration or to clear a way for it through inaction is, in the current year, suicidal idiocy.
A Trump victory in and of itself could permanently split the DSA and progressive left from the DNC. This possibility alone should be enough to work for a Trump win.
But at the very least a Trump victory will likely provoke a nasty fight for control of the party apparatus, a fight that the Russia hoax prevented in 2017. A victory in this struggle by the far left will force more normal whites out of the party. Should the Clinton-Obama clique maintain control they will perforce have to balance the demands of their various tribes. This will produce cracks that can be wedged into chasms and thereby split the left into multiple factions – factions that should be encouraged to attack each other the way certain circles on the right have been doing the past few years.
With either outcome, a badly divided and demoralized left will buy time and open up space and, perhaps, even lead to some good people now on the left to begin looking in other directions.
The last four years have gone some way towards the ongoing process of separating the wheat from the chaff in dissident circles. No one has gotten everything right but some have been more wrong than others and a few have been wrong about everything. A few remain traumatized by Charlottesville while more seem unable to get over Trump’s failure to be anything other than an alpha bullshit artist. Some of our best misjudged the nature of Covid and/or have obstinately allowed their hatred of Jews to take precedence over the interests of the normal white community.
The last eighteen months of relative inaction have only helped our enemies. Whatever the outcome on Tuesday – and as of this writing it is clear that the momentum is with Trump – the threats facing us will not change. With this in mind, it would be mistake to waste 2021 by continuing this trend of infighting, fragmentation and drift.
Trump:
-cut immigration by half
-strongest economy in decades
-no new wars
Biden:
-52 million new immigrants
-owned by China
-never saw a war he didn’t like
The choice is clear.
I’ve seen no empirical evidence as to whether voting for Trump will be beneficial. It’s all speculation. I’m skeptical both because I view the left vs right dichotomy as somewhat fake, and because I don’t believe a politician should be rewarded if they choose to betray their voters. As for censorship, the wave of censorship is being implemented privately, so it doesn’t matter who is in office. Trump cannot or will not do anything to stop it. And while it’s true they won’t stop just because Biden is elected, they won’t be able to use anti-Trump hysteria to rile up the useful idiots. COVID put a temporary halt to immigration more than anything, not Trump.
And as for demographics, it doesn’t really matter at this point, unless Trump were to start deporting tens of millions of illegals. Stopping demographic change had its purpose, but if whites are set to become a minority, it doesn’t matter anymore if due to Trump’s meager action, whites become a minority in, say, 2040 instead of 2038.
Once again, the perfect is being set up as the enemy of the good.
You can’t be CERTAIN so you counsel doing something dumb.
Trump isn’t DEPORTING MILLIONS so it doesn’t matter if he is objectively slowing the rate of demographic decline.
It’s all so tiresome.
But we have to BUY TIME so Nikki Haley or Dan Crenshaw can save us in 2024!!!
Parodies aren’t arguments.
Parodies aren’t positions.
Parodies aren’t a plan.
Put something on the table.
This is your lead, follow, or shut up moment.
“This is your lead, follow, or shut up moment.”
One can always obstruct.
Counter Currents is an influential website on the fringe right-wing, but pro-Trump blog posts on Counter Currents do not have anything close to enough influence to matter in the election. Counter Currents is certainly not “leading” any voting faction that matters.
So, since posting pro-Trump voting blog posts do not influence the election, there is another reason for them.
I’m very critical of the gay lobby and I think it’s clear that a disproportionate number of gays are working against us as part of the establishment. With that said, it’s also obvious that the conservative obsession with ‘fixing homosexuality’ is a red herring. It distracts their base from other more critical issues. Caring about whether or not 1/3 of gays vote for Trump is basically a complete waste of time. I also imagine the gays who are voting for Trump are not the type who passionately wish to prevent us from establishing an ethno-state in the future or promoting White Interests in the present.
I’m skeptical of his ability to win simply due to the demographics but it’s also undeniable that his supporters are more energized than Biden’s. I’d guess if Biden does win that it will not be a ‘slam dunk’ as the Dems & Richard Spencer are predicting. It’ll be a barely past the finish line victory where Biden manages to squeeze out a bit more votes in places like Michigan, Arizona, or Pennsylvania. We might even see a Florida recount again.
I don’t want to start a flame war but Spencer’s views on the election need to be viewed in light of his past. He is a contrarian who gets off on being ‘the bad guy.’ Right now his Twitter has pics of him where he’s photoshopped next to guys like the Ayatollah (who supports BLM and anti-White Third Worldist nonsense) and OJ Simpson. Spencer is LARPing as a Bond villain. You see similar warning signs in how he’s latched onto Ed Dutton and is throwing out feelers to the newly minted Apollo Cult guys. He’s constantly moving from one social clique to the next and using others to achieve his goal of self promotion while posturing as ‘the bad guy.’
That’s a very narcissistic pattern of behavior and, taking it into account, it seems his support for Biden is coming from a desire to shock the Dissident Right and thereby gain more attention for himself. It’s not real politik, it’s self promotion.
Anyways, I’m not trying to endlessly bitch about him. I just really think this needs to be said. I remember being excited about the Alt-Right in 2014-15 (as a late teen) and it was a shock to see that the effort I put in was not being reciprocated by certain leaders. Maybe I have him wrong and he’s playing 12D chess and endorsing Biden to damage him and thereby help Trump. But I doubt it and I’d encourage others to consider that Spencer is probably just creating rationalizations for his desire to endorse Biden and thereby grab attention for himself.
Thanks, Greg, you’ve convinced me. Luckily we can register to vote on election day here. The arguments not to vote resonate with me emotionally, but the logical part of me knows you’re right.
LBJ = The Great Society.
Trump = 500 billion dollar Cadillac Plans for Blacks & Mexicans.
Do you think dangling more free stuff for latinos isn’t going to spark and even greater wave of border jumpers? Just like Saint Reagan’s amnesty did.
Until white Americans abandon the current system and start going their own way things will NEVER change. I have a choice and I chose not to participate in their nonsense. It’s the same reason I homeschool my kids.
