Some Democrats are finally waking up and realizing that woke is broke.
Donald Trump won a majority of white women and remarkable numbers of Black and Latino voters and young men.
Democratic insiders thought people would vote for Kamala Harris, even if they didn’t like her, to get rid of Trump. But more people ended up voting for Trump, even though many didn’t like him, because they liked the Democratic Party less.
I have often talked about how my dad stayed up all night on the night Harry Truman was elected because he was so excited. And my brother stayed up all night the first time Trump was elected because he was so excited. And I felt that Democrats would never recover that kind of excitement until they could figure out why they had turned off so many working-class voters over the decades, and why they had developed such disdain toward their once loyal base. Democratic candidates have often been avatars of elitism — Michael Dukakis, Al Gore, John Kerry, Hillary Clinton and second-term Barack Obama. The party embraced a worldview of hyper-political correctness, condescension and cancellation, and it supported diversity statements for job applicants and faculty lounge terminology like “Latinx,” and “BIPOC” (Black, Indigenous, People of Color).
This alienated half the country, or more. And the chaos and antisemitism at many college campuses certainly didn’t help.
“When the woke police come at you,” Rahm Emanuel told me, “you don’t even get your Miranda rights read to you.”
There were a lot of Democrats “barking,” people who “don’t represent anybody,” he said, and “the leadership of the party was intimidated.”
Donald Trump played to the irritation of many Americans disgusted at being regarded as insensitive for talking the way they’d always talked...

BS. For fifty years, straight, white males were the only people it was legal to discriminate against, and discrimination against them was required by law, and Democrats were the architect of that policy.
2Little2Late: Maureen Dowd @ New York Slimes.
Maureen would probably like to bite the hand that feeds her.
But she never does.
She didn’t much like Barry but she towed the party line.
Same deal with Comrade Kammy.
Dowd delivers, she is both a useful fool as well as a useful tool.
Damned right. It’s time to pay the piper, Maureen. You cooperated with it knowingly.
We not bothered by “insensitivity” Dowd, we are pissed off about the naked neo Fascists abuse of the US Goverment’s police and regulator powers to go after anyone that disagrees with the Alt Left political cult dogams.
Trump, Musk the J6ers and dozens of other cases where the Biden regime abuse it power to try and intimidate or silence political opposition
I think a lot of people like Musk, who never been very politically active, really where angry how fundamentally contemptuous the Alt Left running the Democrat party are for the rule of law.
I don’t like Maureen Dowd, but she nailed it right here.
Maureen Dowd and her liberal sycophants STILL do not understand that the single largest issue that cost them at the polls is so simple even a child could understand...AMERICANS DO NOT WANT WHAT THEY ARE SELLING. period. politics, like any business based on sales, must have a product that the public wants or needs and if no one wants it won’t sell. you can sell snake oil to a few morons but eventually everyone else finds out what it’s really made of.
Well said.
Harris and Democrats stupidly embraced an inane “woke” worldview
of hyper-political correctness, sneering condescension and cancellation.
They supported witless diversity statements and faculty lounge
terminology like “Latinx,” and “BIPOC” (Black, Indigenous, People of Color).“
When the woke police come at you,” Rahm Emanuel said,
“you don’t even get your Miranda rights read to you.”
There were a lot of Democrats “barking,” people who “don’t represent
anybody,” he said, and “the leadership of the party was intimidated.”
This alienated half the country.....and more .....as Trump’s stupendous win proved.
Well said.
Yep. They’re all busy making the same old sh!t sandwich, telling themselves they’ll wrap it up in prettier paper next time. That’s the ticket!

People don’t like force.
They forced on us Obamacare, jabs, electric cars, shutdowns, gender fluidity, pronouns, speech codes, mandates, race relations, taxes, light bulbs, etc.
“Maureen Dowd and her liberal sycophants STILL do not understand that the single largest issue that cost them at the polls is so simple even a child could understand...AMERICANS DO NOT WANT WHAT THEY ARE SELLING. period.”
And that’s their problem, they say what they believe, and it is REALLY DIFFICULT to flat-out lie about what one believes, much less run away from public record proving they’re flaming Leftists.
The ONLY way the Democrats can get back into power is by a full-scale PURGE of their people, to the point where people who support crazy crap (like trannies, starting wars for no reason, global warming, rioting, spying on Americans, etc.) are JETTISONED from the party.
Problem, of course, is that it leaves no one standing, should they do the above.
I totally and completely agree with everything liberals say caused them to lose to Hitler. Remember that stuff 4 years from now. Please. All you need to do is tighten the messaging to make it ever more clear that Republicans are going to destroy the Constitution, put people in internment camps, and take away women’s rights to their own bodies. In other words, do everything you did this time...just more of it, harder. That’s the ticket.
Maureen Dowd smiles as she lies to others, not grasping that she lies to herself and believes it.
I think I saw a pretty Kat. I did see a pretty Kat and I want to kiss her on the lips!
