Carville’s Warning to Democrats

James Carville is a well-known Democratic operative, and yet he’s also capable of causing trouble for Democrats. That’s what happened in an April 27 interview, when he declared, “Wokeness is a problem, and we all know it.” A problem, that is, for the Democratic Party. As Carville explained:

You ever get the sense that people in faculty lounges in fancy colleges use a different language than ordinary people? They come up with a word like “Latinx” that no one else uses. Or they use a phrase like “communities of color.” I don’t know anyone who speaks like that. I don’t know anyone who lives in a “community of color.” I know lots of white and Black and brown people and they all live in . . . neighborhoods.

We might pay special attention to some of Carville’s word-choices: “people in faculty lounges in fancy colleges.” There’s a stereotype that leading Democrats hang out in the Ivy League and other posh colleges—and Carville agrees with it.

Indeed, he went on to attack “jargon-y language that’s unrecognizable to most people—including most Black people.” Picking up on his theme of a snobby dimension to leftist thinking, Carville added, “This ‘too cool for school’ [bleep] doesn’t work, and we have to stop it.”


Here we can pause to quote conservative Scott Alexander, who wrote earlier this year, “Wokeness is a made-up mystery religion that college-educated people invented so they could feel superior to you.” Continuing, Alexander added, “The whole point is that the only way not to be racist is to master an inscrutable and constantly-changing collection of fashionable shibboleths and opinions which are secretly class norms.”

So we can see: Alexander is agreeing with Carville; the whole essence of wokeness is that it’s a status symbol. Just as some people choose to raise themselves—at least in their own estimation—by gaining an affected accent, others seek to gain status by becoming fluent in woke. Politically correct lingo thus further distinguishes Berkeley, CA, from, say, Beckley, WV.

Then Carville, a native of rural Louisiana, known as the “Ragin’ Cajun,” roared some more, saying of Democratic vulnerability, “I think it’s because large parts of the country view us as an urban, coastal, arrogant party.”

We can also add: “rich.” Of the ten richest states (including the District of Columbia), as measured by per capita income, Joe Biden carried eight last year; of the ten poorest states, Donald Trump carried nine. Drilling down a bit, we can also see that Democrats represent 41 of the 50most affluent districts in the U.S. House.

Yet it’s not just that Democrats are woke and wealthy. In addition, some of their best-known policy ideas are way-y-y out of touch with ordinary people. But don’t take my world for it—here’s Carville: “Maybe tweeting that we should abolish the police isn’t the smartest thing to do because almost [bleeping] no one wants to do that.”

Not surprisingly, Carville’s words didn’t play well with the woken.

The author, James Pinkerton got this exactly right. It’s an eighteen minute read if you go to it through the link. Wokeism is bi coastal urban elitism. It’s a tool of the secular progressive to cancel culture Christian conservatives.

 

Populist conservatives are engaged in a struggle against the woke bi coastal urban elites. We will ultimately prevail.

 

Old news. Covered here already.

In case you missed it (obviously), Carville is right. I have no clue who James Pinkerton is, nor do I care.

Why do you always reply to your own OP's? Why not put it all in the OP?

 

What? Do you think Carville is talking about us? Lol. He's talking about Washington.

 

My goodness what do think Frank Lutz offered Republicans? They teach DC how to speak to us.

Carville’s message? Stop shooting yourselves in the foot and arming your opponent.

 

Thank you for your populist right/conservative label. It is completely appropriate and we now know what to call you

 

Wokeism isn't going to have much effect in flyover country. The affluent coastal prog snobs are essentially (and a bit literally) burning down their own metros. Theres gotta be some other agenda at work here. There cant be this many ppl that are actually this stupid.

 

??? Oh ye of little faith, just behold thy fellow man, in the world around thee!

 

I like that. My term for you guys is the Wokerati. What do you think? Good right?

 

It’s called communism and ideological subversion. Watch this and you’ll understand. It’s pretty short tho he has an hour long one which is really good:

 

One would hope not but just look at Boston-NYC-DC, LA , and the Bay Area, Portland, Seattle

 

The White Right Populist can't win the culture war.

I read an article today that Birth Rate in USA dropped 4%. Meaning we can't sustain ourselves a country. And whites are the ones most likely not reproducing enough. So, whites are becoming less and less of the populace.

US birth rate falls 4%, the largest single-year drop in nearly 5 decades, and it’s at lowest point ever
US birth rate drops 4% and is at lowest point ever - Chicago Tribune

So, it's a lose lose for the White right populist.

 

I don't know man. They seem to be winning it all. It might be time to throw in the towel and accept we are going to be a communist country by 2030. They have proved they can steal elections, have open borders, have rules for thee but not for me and riots for me but not for thee
I don't think the left can be stopped at this point
The best we can do is switch our status to registered democrats, so at the very least, we can be taken off their kill list

 

No it’s not. The key is following Trump and recruiting culturally conservative pro life religious African and Hispanic Americans into the GOP. It’s already happening, particularly in Texas and Florida.

 

Bernie is the champion of the downtrodden who don't own two homes, one of which he earned by caving to Hillary.
