White liberalism is dying

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.

Soros, et al funded protest leaders + paid rent-a-mob protesters + addled pussy-hat sjw’s + assorted looky-lookies and dummies + a colluding media with the ability to make a relative few appear like a lot.

"The only places where white liberals values matter are in elite cultural institutions"

That's right. They make a lot of noise and try to scare their own establishment kind, but that's all they have. That's one of the reasons that every Supreme Court nominee needs to be an honest originalist with the best record among candidates to prove it.

Because you know that from this point on, when the Democrats have the political advantage to get away with it, they'll appoint the worst anti-Constitution candidates they can find.

[Sir Napsalot]

Yes!

(Somebody actually read the whole article.)

Liberal “protests” are meaningless. I became aware of their lack of grass roots support when I worked for GD which had an investment in apartheid South Africa. I’d see the lackluster protesters arrive on a private bus about a block away. Somebody in a van would be handing out professionally printed signs and box lunches. They’d arrive around eight and be lining up for the bus at around four-thirty. Every day, the same routine and the same protesters. An article in the sympathetic Tallahassee Democrat said the protests were paid for by “activists” at Florida State University. They stopped when a GD lawyer discovered that FSU had a far larger investment in South Africa in their retirement funds than GD had. (GD paid US wages and had black managers at a time when black managers were unknown in SA.)

That started me wondering about the protesters. It turns out that you can write a check to a company specializing in protest organizing. For your check you get x amount of protesters, professionally printed signs, paper Mache figures, private buses under contract, and even hotel accommodations for your protesters if it’s a multi-day effort. Years ago there was a TV show about one of these companies. It was run by what appeared to be elderly hippies who employed other hippies in a commune to make the signs and paper Mache figures. See the links below, in case you want a multi-day protest. All you need is the money to pay for it.
