Elissa Slotkin, the former CIA analyst turned battleground senator, will on Thursday start road-testing what she calls a “war plan” to “contain and defeat Donald Trump.”
In the first of a series of speeches about the Democratic Party’s path out of the wilderness, the Michigan senator said she will span everything from strategy to tactics and tone, acknowledging public perception of the party as “weak and woke” needs to change. She is urging Democrats to “fucking retake the flag” with appeals to voters’ sense of patriotism, to adopt “the goddamn Alpha energy” of Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell and to embrace an “airing out” of potential 2028 presidential candidates in a broadly contested primary.

Wokeness is the essence of the modern Democratic Party. They can’t give it up.
That is, fortunately, countered by the often brutal facts of real life. They claimed prosperity under Biden and pounded the media drums incessantly on it and people watching the prices at the gas pump and the grocery stores knew them for liars. Ayn Rand had something to say about that: "You can avoid reality, but you cannot avoid the consequences of avoiding reality." Right now it looks like those consequences have been stacking up for the Dems and I'm not sure they control everything they think they do, and I am sure they don't control everything they want to."
45 Democrat senators voted for boys to play in girl sports.
Slotkin did not vote on that issue. That will not save her. She could easily have voted with the Republicans if she had wanted to do so.
She is in no position to talk about ditching wokeness.
The Democrats rule in many states and almost every large city—and people are fleeing those areas.
Until the Democrats prove they can successfully govern the territory they control—by improving the quality of life, standard of living and lowering the cost of living in those areas—they are doomed to failure.
Democrats aren’t above buying votes outright, but if a party has enough money they can “buy” votes through advertising and media coverage. Things will change if the money dries up, but so long as it’s coming, Democrats aren’t going to need to change their views on illegals. They can always find (or create) some distraction to keep their voters on board.
They need open borders to give them the census numbers to keep their seats in the house and senate. And to have registered names to use when sending in mail-in ballots so they can win.

Why aren’t Democrat run cities shining cities on a hill?
In many such cities, there is a negligible Republican presence. There is no significant opposition to Democrats implementing their favorite laws and policies.
So based on that, our big cities run by Democrats should be shining examples of Democrat governance. These cities should be good examples of what Democrats can do when they are not impeded by political opponents.
But then the question becomes why do these Democrat run cities have such severe problems? If they want us to believe the Democrats hold the answers to all of our societal problems?
We voted for this. You have to get past us first.
Perfect analysis! Democrats hate America and Americans.
They’re criminal socialists. They want everything you have except your job.
I like it when she talks dirty to me.
Not.
She really means, "hide wokeness" for later.
The only flag they honor is the FAG FLAG.
Rather than abandoning woke, her plan appears to be for the Dems to become more “militantly woke”. Fighting harder for illegal criminals like Kilmar Abrego Garcia. She talks of appearing “tougher” and waving the flag, acting more patriotic. She wants to bury the woke & weak perception under a veneer of patriotism and “alpha energy”.
But waiving the flag is a hard sell to much of the dem base, who prefer to burn, trample and spit on it. They waive banners that promote perversion, murder and terror. Bring an American flag to a dem rally and they will seize and defile it.
And those votes have nowhere to go. They sure won't default to the right!
i was reading somewhere that talking tough with curse words is a new democrat strategy
What is it with liberals and their filthy mouths? I was at a leftwingy organic grocery store the other day and a couple of them were f-bombing loudly in the parking lot about Republicans. These were middle aged people who you’d think would have matured beyond that kind of thing. They truly are the party of bad character in ways big and small.
You’ve got it !
This is a call to sweet more on mic.
They watch President Trump and the only take away is foul language.
This election stealing loser thinks tossing around profanities makes her seem “tuff.”
