The protests liberals whipped up against Kavanaugh this weekend, on the other hand, revealed too much about their own weakness. Washington, D.C. is a majority Democratic city with a black majority. But the Democratic voters out there yelling about Kavanaugh were as white as any country club gathering of Republicans. They looked like a line of Starbucks patrons — Caucasian, professional, largely millennial, with earth tones and earnest expressions aplenty. Men and women wore the same fashionable glasses and more or less the same clothes. It was a Pumpkin Spice Riot.
Where were the black Democrats? Where were the non-yuppies? Hillary Clinton could have asked the same questions on November 9, 2016, after she failed to get them to show up for her the way they’d showed up for Barack Obama. That election, like the Kavanaugh protest, showed that white liberalism has a problem: it’s too liberal for a majority of whites, yet too distant from the concerns of most non-whites. ... They see themselves as the natural moral arbiters of society. But nobody else sees them that way. ... Yet white American liberals cling to the belief that demographic magic will rescue them from the insufficiency of their ideology appeal. White liberalism is in fact in more trouble in this country than conservatism is. The only places where white liberals values matter are in elite cultural institutions
...The Democrats had only one defection in the Kavanaugh vote, as it happens, but it was enough to avoid what would otherwise have been a 49-49 tie: Joe Manchin, up for re-election this year in the reddest state with a Democratic senator. Liberals swore retribution — supporting Kavanaugh might just have cost him the vote of every single New Yorker subscriber in West Virginia.
That’s white liberalism’s problem in a nutshell.

The commies should not be underestimated.
Otherwise they will hit you from behind and put a world of hurt on you.
“It was a Pumpkin Spice Riot.”
My sides! Hilarious.
The black people would be there maybe, but hell they got jobs. That makes me smile. MAGA
That’s what happens when you abort all your children. Nobody left to replace you.
A lot of the white leftists are lining up, shoulder to shoulder, and arm in arm, with those calling for the slaughter of all whites.
Yes. they are that stupid.
I wouldn’t write off white liberalism just yet. If it’s not around in significant numbers, what was all that Kavanaugh protest, Trump protest, etc.?
Pumpkin Spice Riot
That could be a band name, song, or independent movie title!
White Leftists don’t understand the nature of the beast. They’ll be eaten first.
The commie shape shifters will keep spreading their cancerous web to co-opt more 'victims' and increase their base.
Don't ever count them out. They may be driving into dark corners but they'll still hold their meetings plotting their take over.
The Bolsheviks were a minority as well as the Nazis and Italian Fascists, they did alright.
“If it’s not around in significant numbers, what was all that Kavanaugh protest, Trump protest, etc.?”
I wouldn’t call 200 low IQ apes hopping around like fools “significant numbers.”
“Trump has showed Republicans that they can win so long as they don’t pre-emptively surrender. His own campaign in 2016 had been fought on the same premise.”
The most important quote from the article.
Author makes a lot of good points. There’s a dam out there of non-white conservatism that is only held back because white liberals are so effective at painting the Republicans as racists. 2016 was a big breakthrough because Trump jettisoned certain aspects of think tank conservatism (trade, immigration, foreign adventurism) that were preventing the white working class from fully switching sides. The Trumpian GOP now has the white working class at the cost of a few think tank conservatives in New York, DC and California, where their votes don’t matter very much.
But if the GOP can conclusively break this stranglehold that the left has on non-whites, and I think they can, then you have the potential for a governing conservative majority that could last decades. It’s not easy though, there are billions and billions of dollars in media, education, organizing, corporate culture, etc., etc., all going the other direction.
I was looking yesterday at a thread on DU where they were dreaming of leaving America for a “better” country. None of those white lefties who love to call us racist, and love socialism considered third world socialist paradises like Cuba, Vietnam or Venezuela. They love to call us “Islamophobic”, but for some reason none wanted to go to Malaysia, Sudan or Saudi Arabia. They castigated Trump for calling Haiti, Somalia and Honduras “shitholes”, but none seem to want to move there either. Nope, they all were talking about France, Denmark, Norway, UK, Australia, New Zealand and even Iceland, the whitest country on earth. That’s white liberalism for you.
Paid protesters, Democrat Party operatives and the mentally unbalanced.
Think tank conservatives are just opportunists, liars and parasites.
They were all going to vote for Clinton no matter what.
No. Around here there are so many white liberals.
