Mary Trump - The Media Want to Blame Kamala Harris
With very little insight and even less self-awareness, it looks like some of our so-called elites in the so-called liberal media have figured out what went wrong for Democrats this election. It was wokeness.
After reading Maureen Dowds column in The New York Times, Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinski came to this profound conclusion: [S]ome Democrats are waking up and realizing that woke is broke, Brzezinksi said. Yes, Democrats who either dont know what woke means, or those who havent had their fingers on the pulse of what drives American culture since the Age of Reaganor both, actually think the problem is that Democrats engaged in too much identity politics (because, as mentioned, they dont know what woke means).
Yes, the Democrats lost touch with the working class because they talked too much about transgender rights. It was Joe Bidens fault. It was Kamala Harris fault. But apparently the bleak permanence of American racism and misogyny, the almost unimpeded rise of fascism, and a system so broken the Republican Party actually nominated, and America elected, an insurrectionist in direct violation of Article 3 of the 14th Amendment had nothing at all to do with the dark turn weve taken:
No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.

(36,207 posts)She loves to attend conferences promoting certain groups of women, and seems to understand when she personally has experienced unfair discrimination, but really lacks awareness of structural and institutional issues. She's all too happy to switch sides frequently.
Fareed Zakaria also made idiotic remarks about how Dems need to stop bringing up "identity politics" and "DEI." Joy Reid on MSNBC just showed clips of multiple Repubs - NOT DEMs - who brought up their perceptions of these topics.
