I note for you that some evil GOP Senators are promoting voting for a $1 trillion infrastructure package today, making sure you know because I presume you want to stay pure and have Democrats reject it all. Must not accomplish anything until they are all dead, the Constitution is changed, something along those lines.

Do you really think anyone in this country who actually votes buys your kind of hyperbole instead of just rolling their eyes?

You belong on a SNL skit as a humorless clueless absurdist character

If Democrats always cede

In reply to "the country is already lost"

If Democrats always cede slogans to the Republicans and cannot effective label Republicans as authoritarians, they will lose elections. They have to reject, rather than accept labels used by Republicans as mischaracterizations. Republicans believe Biden lost the election and that Democrats eat babies. That is a target rich environment Democrats can use to create an image of Republicans.

"the country is already lost" - more hyperbole

In reply to Carville notes what Democrats

If Marjorie Taylor Greene can suggest people shoot people who are offering vaccinations and Madison Cawthorn can say that requiring children to wear masks is Wokeness and face no serious backlash the country is already lost. The Woke are not the problem.

Carville notes what Democrats have to do to win in the Vox article.

But the Democrats can’t fuck it up. They have to make the Republicans own that insurrection every day. They have to pound it. They have to call bookers on cable news shows. They have to get people towrite op-eds. There will be all kinds of investigations and stories dripping out for god knows how long, and the Democrats should spend every day tying all of it to the Republican Party. They can’t sit back and wait for it to happen.

Hell, just imagine if it was a bunch of nonwhite people who stormed the Capitol. Imagine how Republicans would exploit that and make every news cycle about how the Dems are responsible for it. Every political debate would be about that. The Republicans would bludgeon the Democrats with it forever.

So whatever you think Republicans would do to us in that scenario, that’s exactly what the hell we need to do them.

Democrats need to go on the attack against Republicans. Attacking the "Woke" diverts from that important national message.

To be fair, i didn't like Musk's tone-deaf comments about masks, but yeah, we whites shouldn't make or break on every damn issue. If I like 70-80% if what someone's about, that's pretty good, no?

the problem it appears, is that billionaire brands are tribal property, and the white privileged tribe ain't got no respect for their own like the others do?

In reply to We are excited to share that

Not just the CIA - the KGB (GRU) has been doing it too - just with less fanfare, plus some cheering from the left. The Russia know narratives for sure.

Guy who makes electric cars, batteris, solar practical to solve global warming while putting people in space = horrid capitalist.

Guy who hacks candidates' campaigns, helps undermine peoples' vote, and is in collusion with corrupt oligarchs who steal complete oil companies and carry out political assassinations = "woke journalist"

In many cases we are witnessing an identity crisis and calling it identity politics.

Could be that the "Woke" CIA recruitment video was the straw that broke the camel's back? (One thing you've got to say for the CIA is that they do good research! They somehow got across nearly every one of the Woke's pets in that video.)

In reply to James Carville: “Wokeness is a problem and we all know it”

I think the tide may be turning, I see several books like this coming out, including this by a sociologist "of color" at Columbia U.:

The book will highlight how wokeness is often deployed as a weapon in this conflict, often at the expense of those who are *actually* marginalized and disadvantaged.

It is a text, then, whose contributions will lie at the intersection of literature on elites, inequality and STS
