Peer Into the Dark Recesses of the Democrats' Mind...If You Dare...: "Why Dems Can't Get Over the Grief of Losing to Trump"
There's a lot of hilarity and horror to be seen here. As is often the case, the Iron Law of Woke Projection is on display: the norm-busting, rule-breaking, CTRL-Left would like you to believe that it is the defender of norms, and of democracy, and of reason...
Obama comes in for some ridicule because he's urged unity and understanding. Stupid Obama! Actually, that version of Obama is the version I was sold on...perhaps showing my stupidity/naivety...
Anyway, of all the dumb and weird things in that piece, this sentence managed to stand out to me:
In a sharp essay and call to action in the New York Times, Jamelle Bouie considers the Democratic Party’s lack of urgency and reluctance to rise to the challenge of Trumpism and the larger right-wing (fake) populist authoritarian movement.
Among the bizarro ideas here:
[a] Jamelle Bouie allegedly wrote a sharp essay[b] Democrats have been reluctant to oppose Trump[ism][c] "the right-wing (fake) populist authoritarian movement"
Life on Blue Counter-Earth, I guess.
I find it particularly amusing when people can't even refer to something without cramming in editorial comments (see e.g. the Wikipedia entry "Gamergate (Harassment Campaign)"). I mean, aside from the fact that the authoritarian tendencies of the contemporary right pale in comparison (so far...) to those of the contemporary left, it amuses me that the left can't seem to decide whether populism is bad per se, or only bad when it's "right wing." Maybe that's not even populism anymore!
Whatever.
It's not that the thing is worth reading, unless you're driven by the same kind of morbid curiosity that drives me to read such crap.
