Democrats’ new ‘woke’ standards mean hell for 2020 contenders
NYPost ^ | 07 Feb 2019 | Rich Lowry

...Democrats are about to ­embark on the first woke primary, a gantlet of political correctness that will routinely wring abject apologies out of candidates and find fault in even the most sure-footed. The passage of time will be no defense. Nor the best of intentions. Nor anything else. Any lapses will be interpreted through the most hostile lens, made all the more brutal by the competition of a large field of candidates vying for the approval of a radicalized base. The Democratic nomination battle might as well be fought on the campus of Oberlin College and officiated by the director of the Office of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion. Being a progressive hero of long-standing doesn’t afford any protection...

I think you could round up every contender from the Democratic circle from 1960 to 2016, and using ‘woke-standards’...more than 80-percent would be disqualified or unable to contend. You’d basically have to go out and find some Obama-like creation with no known history, and just pretend for the first twenty-five years of life....no one knew them.

What is all this “woke” that i’ve heard about recently. Is this some new fad?

“Woke” = Stalinist. As opposed to waking up to the reality that the Communists have been boiling our country to death slowly over the past century.

Zero wouldn’t even pass muster for 2020, as he opposed fake fag marriage in 2008 (at least he claimed to). The rodentry party has moved so far to the left from Stalinist to Ultra-Stalinist in 11 years, it is simply breathtaking.

It is Communists jockeying for power in the Party complete with insane accusations and self criticism and confession of sins against the Party.

The snowflakes and radicals would call Obama an “Uncle Tom” and worse - they are insane and their hate is at a fever pitch. Now the mainstream Democrat position is to get rid of all airplanes, trucks, and cars, destroy and rebuild all buildings, no fossil fuels or nuclear, and everything is about your racial or ethnic identity. Obama is more like Gorbachev, they are like Stalin or Pol Pot.

Used to be these nutters were content for a slow change to their sick and anti-American agenda. Not anymore. They want it done yesterday and patience is out the window, and they’re being led by the ultra-radical Feminazi Taliban Klan wing of the party that we saw on Tuesday night.

It’s starting to resemble the film “The Death Of Stalin”.

It is Mao’s cultural revolution reborn, with less blood. That may change.
