In light of Virginia Republican candidate Glenn Youngkin’s win against former governor Terry McAuliffe, Teen Vogue claimed conservatives are “actively building a movement around whitelash” and “incendiary race-baiting propaganda,” as Democrats abstain from “focusing on what actually makes them different” and fail to “make a compelling argument about why they should win,” blaming their losses on having not been progressive enough. Columnist Lexi McMenamin argued that Democrats “need to prioritize a progressive future over reminding voters of our recent Trump-era past.”
Observing that pundits have started “blaming anything from an ‘enthusiasm gap’ to (predictably) progressives” after a “rough showing for Democrats on the national stage,” she claimed that Democrats knew there was a “decent shot” McAuliffe would lose.
Republicans, too, were aware of the strong possibility of a Youngkin win, according to McMenamin, because “they built their 2021 — and ultimately 2022 — strategy around the incendiary race-baiting propaganda that’s fueling their attack on school boards.”
“The racial and class breakdown of which voters went for Glenn Youngkin shows high numbers of white women without a college education voting Republican, a holdover trend from the Trump years taken to new heights,” she said.
Attributing Youngkin’s win to “propaganda and rhetoric” on the part of Republicans, she accused conservatives of embracing “whitelash,” a term connoting backlash by white people against the success of black people and popularized by CNN anchor Van Jones in his description of Donald Trump’s election victory
“Conservatives have built and are actively building a movement around whitelash.”
Stating “there’s nothing more historically American than racist dog whistles being used by white men to attain power,” the Teen Vogue columnist then claimed Republicans have “framed their fight as for a change from the status quo,” while Democrats abstained from “focusing on what actually makes them different.”

These people are truly mentally ill.
That's what I read at first and will stand by.
Teen Vogue is written by sociopaths for chalk outline dead bodies.
they failed to “make a compelling argument" that they are not utter crap and nobody in their right mind would want anything they are demanding.
But in the Land of Prog they wield mighty wands of great and powerful magic or some such BS.

What is Tiger Beat saying?
Keep harping on this you pinkos! You will do more for republicants and conservatives than they and us could do on our own.
Honey, when it’s time for the “whitelash” you’re flatulating about, you’ll know it.
Just imagine.. ‘regular’ Vogue is written for the most vapid women (and homosexual males) in society.
Teen Vogue for the same vapid type of people, but EVEN MORE JUVENILE than the ‘regular’ magazine is.
How embarrassing.
But then, they’re libtards.
Wow, that’s exactly what the Dem leadership said. It’s almost as is there is one and only one permissible thought amongst leftists at a time — all dispensed daily and then quacked out by duckspeakers at press conferences, in newspapers, magazines, tweets and on TV, almost if not entirely verbatim.
It may seem like child abuse, but EFF them.
“That there are, apparently, millions of people that think like this and despite Tuesday’s bright spark of hope, I still have grave concerns about the future of humanity.”

I go to church with a number of older lifetime registered Democrats, who have always voted Democrat. These people are as conservative as you could find...just low info people who get all their “facts” from sources like NBC evening news. They fell hook, line and sinker for the Trump Russia collusion hoax, because their “news” sources had reported that to them. They have no idea about all the radical ideas being pushed by Democrats. For some reason they just are not very interested in researching this stuff. Anyways, I can assure you they would not vote for putting men in women’s bathrooms, men marrying men, CRT, and any number of things you and I know Democrats are pushing. Absolutely crazy and maddening...but, what can you do?
I can’t help but notice that the number of cars around here with Hillary, Biden, or even Obama bumper stickers around here has dropped very noticeably over the last few months.
I’m not stupid enough to think that the owners have switched parties.
The Mensheviks need to go Bolshevik.
Vogue definition: fashionable; in style
The know the hispanics are a wild card. BLM showed us that. It's why they are now pretty much ignored in all the debates and blacks and angry mixed race types get all the oxygen now.
After decades of fixing elections in South America, they believed their own BS.

I believe it 100%
Of course, I would not describe it using pejorative terms like "whitelash" or "race-baiting propaganda". That's just more of the anti-white hatred which is overwhelming America.
But, to plagiarize Kipling, "[Whitey] ain't a bloomin' fool, you bet that [whitey] sees".
Hi!
