The woke flag may be flying high within Democratic headquarters, however in towns and cities across America it looks every bit as ominous as the appearance of a Jolly Roger on the horizon.
The Democratic Celebration will be lured to blame their current crash and burn on the monolith to nationwide humiliation that is Joe Biden, but that would be missing out on the wider picture, which is that a lot of Americans find woke politics absolutely repulsive.
Simply one month earlier, few people thought that Republican Glenn Youngkin, a former service executive and newcomer to the political jungle, had any opportunity of beating Democrat Terry McAuliffe in Virginia’s high-stakes race for governor. But then McAuliffe laid his woke cards deal with up on the table and it was video game over.
The revelatory minute came last month during the gubernatorial debate when the candidates were asked just how much impact parents should have in their kids’s education. Prior to exposing McAuliffe’s rather predictable response (tip: he’s a woke liberal), it is necessary to note that school board conferences are no longer the boring treatments for sleeping disorders they when were. Rather, they have actually become significant social events where parents with confidence take the podium to accost school officials over the progressive perversities now being taught in the class.
It is clear that the U.S. public school system, in cahoots with effective advocacy groups, like the Southern Poverty Law Center and the Open Society Foundation, has been stealthily including mentors on Critical Race Theory, which postulates, in a nutshell, that white individuals are naturally and irreconcilably racist. And when schoolchildren are not being alerted of the pint-sized supremacists in their midst, they are being advised on more titillating topics, like how the biological differences between the sexes, indisputable because prior to Cro-Magnon times, is in truth absolutely nothing more than a social construct of our lacking creativities. So instead of learning appropriate grammar and syntax– glaring indications of bigotry– trainees are now focused on understanding the right pronoun for the approximate 75 varieties of gender out there.
Needless to state, the liberal dream weavers pushed the mindf ** kery too far and Loudon County, Virginia blew up into a contemporary civil war between Republicans and Democrats. In fact, so fantastic was the reaction against the unabashed educators that the National School Boards Association resolved a letter to Joe Biden where they compared the upset moms and dads to “a kind of domestic terrorism and hate criminal activities.” That demonstrates how venal, weak-minded and thin-skinned the limpid left has actually ended up being: it can’t even manage a dressing down by disgruntled soccer mommies without employing the Feds. The response by the establishment was no less worthless.
I wish to thank the Loudoun County school board. None of this would have been possible without you. Tonight’s result was your handiwork. Congratulations!

Instead of telling the instructors union to grow a proverbial set and face the music, Attorney general of the United States Merrick B. Garland fell under full metal jacket mode, directing the FBI to meet with regional law enforcement to identify how to open “lines of communication for danger reporting, assessment, and action.” Needless to state, that directive didn’t decrease well with moms and dads, or with Republican Senator Ted Cruz, particularly thinking about that no acts of violence had actually been committed.
Here is where Terry McAuliffe put his political ambitions to pasture at last. With a degree of tone-deafness usually found only in retirement home and CNN studios, the gubernatorial wannabe stated at the debates that, “I do not believe parents should be telling schools what they must teach.” At this moment, Glenn Youngkin might have taken a long swig of Jack Daniels from a brown paper bag on phase and he still would have become governor.
On a cautionary side note, Republicans would be wise not to bank too much on Mr. Youngkin, who appears to be cut from the same costly fabric as his Euro contemporary across the pond, French President Emmanuel Macron. Both of these relative newcomers to the political phase emerged from the dirty world of finance– Youngkin from the Washington-based Carlyle Group, where George H.W. Bush Sr. had actually when served, impeccably, obviously, as a senior advisor; Macron hails from Rothschild & Co. where he was an investment banker. I only mention the connection because my faith in the U.S. election system (and those held abroad) has actually been shaken to the point where it is challenging to think of reasonable and honest elections, however rather shady choices in secret retreats– a bit like Eyes Wide Shut fulfills The Manchurian Candidate. But I digress.
Let’s be clear about something: the little and extremely overpublicized contingency of radical progressives, espousing Cultural Marxist claptrap, has little in typical with America; that resemble truth does not appear to have actually hit the Democratic Celebration yet just since they have actually been misguided into believing that Joe Biden’s (still unusual) success over Donald Trump somehow legitimized their unhinged, un-American suitables. The fact is these individuals live in some fake facsimile of the nation beamed into their living-room each night thanks to the legacy media dinosaurs. Instead of taking their talking points from the separated talking heads of Lemon, Maddow and Cuomo, for example, the Democrats must have paid heed to reliable political strategists, like James Carville.
In an interview with PBS NewsHour, the ‘Ragin’ Cajun’ nailed it when he blamed McAuliffe’s defeat on “foolish wokeness.”
“Do not simply look at Virginia and New Jersey [where the incumbent Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy narrowly beat his Republican opposition, Jack Ciattarelli] Take A Look At Long Island, look at Buffalo, take a look at Minneapolis, even take a look at Seattle, Washington,” Carville railed, and not for the first time. “I imply, this ‘defund the authorities’ lunacy, this take Abraham Lincoln’s name off of schools. I mean– people see that.”
“Some of these individuals need to go to a ‘woke’ detox center or something,” he added. “They’re expressing a language that people simply do not utilize, and there’s reaction and a frustration at that.”
The paradox here is that the Democrats never ever stopped speaking about how Donald Trump alienated himself from the ‘rural lady’ electorate, yet they have actually headed out of their way to do precisely the same thing with their woke madness. Instead of attempting to appease the progressive prima AOC donnas who have tarnished the Democratic brand name, maybe irreparably, the Democrats would succeed to consider what their radical rely on the left appear like for average Americans– the omnipotent soccer mother and fathers. It’s easy to bet that for each raunchy book that appears on school library racks, and every new racist slander tossed at innocent folks, to every violent criminal offense devoted by a migrant crossing the border illegally, the Democrats lose considerable ground with their base.
The woke flag may be flying high inside of Democratic head office, but in the areas and cities across America it looks every bit as ominous as the look of a Jolly Roger on the horizon. In other words, the Democrats need to ditch the woke, or they will, inevitably, go broke.
