Growing Number Of Democrats Fear Party Has Become Too Woke

A growing number of Democrats are concerned their party is getting too "woke," which could run the risk of alienating future voters.

"You ever get the sense that people in faculty lounges in fancy colleges use a different language than ordinary people?" James Carville said, Axios reported.

"This is not how voters talk."

Kevin Drum, formerly with Washington Monthly magazine, wrote, "the truth is that the Democratic Party has been pulled far enough left that even lots of non-crazy people find us just plain scary — something that Fox News takes vigorous advantage of."

Whether the left's messaging has been effective or not will be revealed during the midterm elections. While the woke rhetoric might be good for media coverage, results for future elections could prove disastrous electorally, Democrat strategists fear, according to the report.

Conversely, Ibram X. Kendi, author of "How to Be an Antiracist" decried the idea the left was too woke by instead claiming Republicans "have conjured an imagined monster to scare the American people and project themselves as the nation's defenders from that fictional monster."

However, one Senate aide said it is "bye-bye majority" if Democrats run on "extreme wokeness."

Others have pulled back from the woke rhetoric, such as former NYPD captain Eric Adams, who this week won New York City's Democratic mayoral primary.

Good for them that the Assistant Democrats in Congress don't find them scary.

And yet those same people will do nothing to stop the democrat party’s continued decent into darkness.

Democrats want to fundamentally transform the country. They don’t like Western Civilization and they want to go down a different path.

The concern identified here, is that the “woke” stuff may be perceived as an ineffective tactic. It may not be as popular as they had hoped. They may need a different public relations approach. But, as they consider other ways to manipulate the public, the fact remains: Democrats want to fundamentally transform the country. They don’t like Western Civilization and they want to go down a different path. That’s not going to change. That’s who they are.

I think democrats are just too communist. That party needs a serious correction. They think anybody to the right of Stalin is a Nazi and should be denied the constitutional protections that come with being an American citizen.

The current movement of parents confronting school boards needs to be maintained. And this needs to develop into a program to have conservatives run for these boards so as to closely monitor school administrators and teachers.

I believe a major problem is that the school systems have become top heavy in that there are too many non-teaching personnel. Go by a school administration building and you will find it packed. They will have hired someone to supervise every national and state mandate that comes down the pike, and each will develop their own kingdom. It is the nature of the beast. And I believe it is in these administration buildings that all this Marxist theory is taking shape. They have too much time on their hands.

The Derp Party hangers-on used the wrong words.

The ones they should have used was "Too Communist".
