Resistance Democrats embrace combative, profanity-laced 'dark woke' rebrand to combat Trump
Fox News ^ | 24 Apr, 2025 | Lindsay Kornick

Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett exemplifies new confrontational approach as party members reject 'respectability prison' in battle against MAGA Republicans.

"Resistance" Democrats are starting to abandon civil politics in favor of a new provocative and combative "dark woke," a new report says.

The term "dark woke" refers to an online meme that gained popularity in January amid President Donald Trump’s inauguration. Under the "#darkwoke" tag, left-leaning X users share jokes and memes delighting in or wishing for the suffering of Trump supporters.

Though the term is largely an online phenomenon, some members of the Democratic Party are beginning to see some benefits to the "crass" and "rude" attitude.

"Republicans have essentially put Democrats in a respectability prison," Bhavik Lathia, a communications consultant and former digital director for the Wisconsin Democratic Party, told the New York Times on Monday. "There is an extreme imbalance in strategy that allows Republicans to say stuff that really grabs voters’ attention, where we’re stuck saying boring pablum. I see this as a strategic shift within Democratic messaging — I’m a big fan of ‘dark woke.’"

The Times used Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett as an example of Democrats going on the offensive against Republicans, such as her attacking Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., for having a "bleached-blonde, bad-built, butch body."

According to The Times, more Democrats are following Crockett's lead as party insiders encourage politicians to use "a new form of combative rhetoric aimed at winning back voters who have responded to President Trump’s no-holds-barred version of politics."

Many Democrats have taken to injecting profanity into their vocabulary in response to MAGA and in an attempt at "authenticity."

"[C]ommunications consultants for Democratic politicians have encouraged — or allowed — more swearing. Profanity, [Democratic strategist Tyson] Brody, 38, said, is often seen as a ‘shortcut to authenticity,’

Oh. Does this mean Democrats are going to begin acting unpleasant and rude and intolerant?

“New confrontational”? These jackasses have been calling anyone who disagreed with them ‘Hitler’ since the sixties.

FTA:

"There is an extreme imbalance in strategy that allows Republicans to say the raw truth stuff that really grabs voters’ attention, where we’re stuck saying boring lies pablum. I see this as a strategic shift within Democratic messaging — I’m a big fan of ‘dark woke.’"

Fixed.

Reverting to Alinsky and their Marxist roots.

They learned nothing.

Obama famously said: “They go low, we go high.”

News flash: They always went low. Now they are just going lower.

I think these officers should be given some kind of financial bonus for saving the government the expense of incarcerating and trying these scumbags,

These losers suck at cursing. They use the words all wrong. Like an Indian guy trying to say “GFY”. “I am wanting you to get to effing yourself, sir”.

Indeed.

Their main problem is that their base is getting ever more insane and radical. It's not a good place to be. They are even losing the old-style liberals like Bill Mahr.

A good chuck of the Democratic base does recognize this problem, but so far they are being ignored and even mocked by the radicals. I don't see any easy way for them to pull themselves out of this. The radicals will have to admit defeat and become more moderate, but that is anathema to them.

If the woke wing of the Democrat party ever gains power again, they will move quickly, aggressively, unconstitutionally, and violently to cement themselves in permanent power. It will get really ugly for their political opposition (that includes most of us).
