With Donald J. Trump back in the White House.... so-called masculine energy... seems like the dominant [culture].... As liberals try to get their groove back...
Ugh.
... some party insiders say Democratic politicians have been encouraged to embrace a new form of combative rhetoric... “Dark woke.”
Is this like "Dark Brandon"? Why, yes it is:
In the waning days of the Biden administration, memes about “Dark Brandon” often referred to the version of the former president that conservatives most feared....
Next, the article connects "Dark Brandon" to the Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, who is African American and who once referred to "somebody’s bleach blonde bad built butch body." Get it? Get how that's like the old "Dark Brandon" meme, which involved depicting Joe Biden as some kind of "Terminator"-like character with glowing red eyes?
To a new, younger generation of Democratic staffers, this was exactly the link they had seen their opponents exploiting for years.
“All these new staffers, we grew up seeing extremely vile content overflowing from right-wing spaces into regular spaces,” said Caleb Brock, 23, the director of digital strategy for Representative Ro Khanna, Democrat of California. “We’re ready to combat that by any means necessary.”...
What would we do without the younger generation? You know, "by any means necessary" pre-dates Malcolm X. It traces back to Jean-Paul Sartre: "I was not the one to invent lies: they were created in a society divided by class and each of us inherited lies when we were born. It is not by refusing to lie that we will abolish lies: it is by eradicating class by any means necessary."
Anyway, back to the NYT piece... I think it's great if the Democrats are letting go of their gloomy repressiveness and reveling in the benefits of freedom of speech. There's always the risk that if you do indulge in rough speech — insults, hyperbole, absurdity — you lose the standing to criticize your opponents for their deplorable rhetoric. Any calls for civility will look even more like the bullshit they always have been.

"Remember"?
Everything in that is phony and plastic. They just can't be . . . people.
This is just another attempt by the left to avoid the fact that the dog just doesn't like their dog food. They can't accept that Trump presented a slate of policy positions to the public and the public said "hell yes!!!!!"
"There's always the risk that if you do indulge in rough speech — insults, hyperbole, absurdity — you lose the standing to criticize your opponents for their deplorable rhetoric."
Oh, that train left the Democrat station eons ago.
Apparently at the DNC, it's retards all the way down
Usually when Progressive Democrats start broadcasting that they going to 'go edgy' and start embracing their 'dark' side, and start talking about 'any means necessary', it's a precursor to violence. We've seen it all before. They get violent when the dogs won't eat the food. But: What happens if the dogs show their teeth? Public sentiment is not going to be with them this time, if the polls are anywhere close to accurate. It's not the tone, it's the message. The message is poison.
"But the media tried to palm it off as "cool" last summer..."
At this point can we just all agree that the media are the sad fat little goth girls who cut themselves hanging out by the high school trash enclosure talking about how cool they are?
The democrat party is not cool. The democrat party is a sewer.
“Masculine energy”
Call him Daddy.
It was so cool when Kamala gave Who's Your Daddy $100,000 payoff for appearing. And so cool when she gave Oprah $1 million for a boost. And remember how cool it was when LeBron endorsed Kamala in return for a $50,000 payoff.
And don't forget that Beyonce put a ring on it ... after Kamala was cool enough to slip her $165,000. For lighting and uh ... travel. Yeah, that's the ticket.
That was cool. Aren't Democrats so cool?
The headline suggests dems weren't "edgy" enough....for real? If those perpetually-stuck-in-high-school gay little emo vegans were any "edgier" they'd be classified as Bismuth on the periodic table.
"Apparently at the DNC, it's retards all the way down."
Well, the Vice Chairman of the DNC has stated that his goal this year will be to unseat established Democrats.
Sooo ... yeah. They're retards.
“We’re ready to combat that by any memes necessary.”
In other words, more of the same. Sure. Try that.
Is this an example of gaslighting? Or just bubble-induced cluelessness?
Dems were never really 'cool' past a brief time with
Clinton. Obama was a race-baiting activist that got pushed up far beyond his competence, and the only political tool he had was a hammer. Biden was never 'cool', outside of a 'Weekend at Bernie's' sense. Harris was only 'cool' if you thought emulating a drunk 'Housewives of DC' episode for FOUR YEARS would have been great for the country going forward.
'Dark Woke' - it's laughable. They're still thinking that 'Woke' has a chance, that it was just their messaging that was at fault. That if they just 'do it right' people will get it.
We got it. And we dumped it. And the more they try to resurrect it, the worse it gets.
“…we grew up seeing extremely vile content overflowing from right-wing spaces into regular spaces…”
Regular spaces? These people really do live in a bubble, don’t they?
Ahh...the wistful memories.
"...and perilously toeing the line of not being too offensive.".
I dunno. Parading in the streets in favor of Hamas eliminating Jews, while at the same time flying into El Salvador to get camera time with a deported MS-13 wife beating, human trafficker is something some would think of as 'offensive'. I would say they've already crossed that Rubicon.
LOL nice try
Remind me, oh Civility Reporter from NYT, who was "Give 'em Hell Harry" and how did he acquire that nickname?
Whenever I read the phrase "Dark Brandon" I thought of Darth Vader shitting in his armor as he force choked Admiral Motti.
If this is the democrat’s strategy for the next election, republicans have nothing to fear.
Also cool, as I recall, was the manly man video that was so persuasive I'm a Man!</a
instead of going 'edgyer', look at the 80/20 issues and pick some 80's for a change
Don't forget the left's "cool" demands from on high --------------> to destroy Musk, destroy Tesla, and harass and shame Tesla owners, while these dutiful loyal leftist democratics (Tampon Tim deluxe) molotov cocktail the local Tesla dealership.
Yeah - that's not Nazi at all!
So nothing about policies americans want, just more attitude, and how do we get them to like what we like, which is everything americans dont like.
Shorter Democrat party press. We got nothin'.
talking about how cool they are
...and how fake all those others are. Don't forget that. Authenticity is the Big Prize... but they have no idea how to achieve it.
I've been calling the Democrats a cargo cult for years - it certainly applies to their policies (college-educated people make more money, so let's make sure everyone gets a college degree - then they'll all make more money! Home ownership correlates with lower crime, so let's make sure everyone can get a home loan - then there'll be a lot less crime!), and last year we were treated to the most cringe attempts - so many attempts! - to manufacture authenticity by buying the trappings of it. Brat Summer indeed.
I wonder how long Crockett took to memorize her line, and how impatient she was waiting for a chance to deploy it.
They actually think that Walz is an edgelord.
I learned a lot more about understanding the themes and motifs pushed by modern movies, as well as how the plots are almost exlusively centered on female desires and prejudices following the "manosphere" on YouTube than I ever did in lit classes. Long story short, movies today, and television shows portray the vast majority of men as weak, stupid, inadequate to the needs of women, and women as the natural masters of all human relationships, and create expectations that simply don't comport with the nature of men and women, BTW.
If you don't think that there is a crisis among young men, just look at any intersection where young men, instead of heading off to work on some productive job, providing for a family, are begging for money for drugs. It's not just social media comments where the crisis is happening. And this crisis has the Democrats' fingerprints all over it.

Will the left never break out of its fantasy world? Nobody feared Dark Brandon. The right was a bit perplexed, a bit amused, but never unsettled by Dark Brandon.
There wasn’t a time last summer when the Democratic Party was cool. It was can’t prop up Biden anymore Memorial Day then can’t prop up Kamala by Labor Day. None of that was cool, not even the in between….
Ann Althouse wrote: "There's always the risk that if you do indulge in rough speech — insults, hyperbole, absurdity — you lose the standing to criticize your opponents for their deplorable rhetoric."
"When do we kill them." That was the question of the week, posed in a Substack by Nicholas Decker, an economics PhD student at George Mason University. He wanted to discuss whether it's time to murder MAGA Republicans and Trump.
And Substack printed that shit.
The University quickly distanced itself from their student and called the cops on him. The Secret Service didn't arrest him.
I asked Grok what happened and this was the reply:
"There is no public information indicating that Decker faced formal charges, arrest, or other legal consequences as of the available data"
Democrats are openly discussing the timing of the murder of American citizens for political ends - aka domestic terrorism. They face zero risks. They are allowed to do it by our universities, by our police and by our Secret Service which Republicans run and which has repeatedly failed to protect Trump.
There are no risks to their Dark desires. Most of our media cannot wait for the shooting to start so they can make $$$ on the backs of dead Republicans.
Note how Harris is never cited as leading the Party, yet she encases it, like some thin foreskin slipping back and forth around the tip, or like the transparent casing surrounding juicy brat. Heady times indeed!
The audacity of turning up the volume.
It was all so pathetically and embarrassingly contrived last summer. Kudos, though, to British pop singer Charlie XCX who pronounced ex cathedra that last summer was "brat" and Kamala Harris was "brat." I wonder how much the DNC had to pay for that endorsement. Maybe she should be the next pope. Charlie, not Kamala. She'd have to master Roman numerals first, though.

Hahahaha, I skipped right over that part! "Never unsettled" - I laughed my fool head off every time they trotted out that meme. They really thought it was scary?!
Jasmine Crockett is having a moment. But will there be a hat? Last time a Crockett was prominent in pop culture, there were hats. I think even Dylan sung about it.
Every single headline that says "Trump backs down from his instincts" leads markets to rally.
Perhaps that tells us something about the value of his instincts. Honest to Pete the stupidity is just exhausting.
We need an entirely new vocabulary that can match the absolute derangement that is this administration.
There is a vast vast generation gap in the Democratic Party between the ancient feeble gerontocracy, the Pelosi/Schumer/Biden/Obama axis, and people who want these fading eldery geezers to relinquish their hands from the levers of power.
Oh, and:
"There was a time when men were kind,
When their voices were soft,
And their words inviting.
There was a time when love was blind
And the world was a song
And the song was exciting.
There was a time...
Then it all...went...wrong..."
"Charli" actually. Spelling wasn't her forte either.
"Darkness" and "edginess" impressed a tiny cadre of party loyalists. Nobody else noticed or cares or is impressed. I suppose the idea was that Trump was disruptive and transgressive, so Democrats should be too. The Biden years were very disruptive and not in a good way, but such concocted posing doesn't win over undecided voters.
Check out Caleb Brock's LinkedIn page. He's part of that human sludge of advisors and consultants that clogs the political system -- in both parties.
When you start off with a false but inveigling premise, you can get yourself to all sorts of fantastic places, fantastic as in its base word fantasy. So cool. Go go van go.
Democrats are transitioning to a liberal state without an identity and Diverse baggage.

What to do with the bitter "burdens". Abort. A wicked, but ethical solution with religious undertones in human rites. How often do liberals think of the Aztec empire, now that the Roman empire is disfavored in politically congruent circles.
Ozzel when he jumped out of warp too close to the planet hoth,
It's time to play American's favorite game "Stupid or Liar?"!
Anyone who actually believes the Democrats have been rhetorically too nice to Republicans or other non-woke-believers, is either really, really dumb or lying through their teeth.
Dark woke is a semantic change from the twilight fringe and a sincere effort to sequester memory of the latter in a back... black hole... whore h/t NAACP. #HateLovesAbortion
Dork wack.
David Hogg oozes "dark woke". David screams cool. He's so hip and confident that when he raises his dainty little fist, I see resemblances to Alexander The Great and Tamerlane. He's so Alpha, he's Omega. I shudder with anticipation has he broods darkly in his batcave making memes that are certain to set the world aflame.
David is the kind of guy that makes women wet and turns men gay...or so I hear.
The Dems 1st stupidity was listening to Bill & Barack.
The 2nd is calling its food-throwing tantrum 'Dark Woke.'
So they're still working on their "messaging".
Dark Brandon wasn't feared, that's ridiculous.

But then they’d have to actually do something about it. Otherwise they’d be GOPe.

Look what you made me do. Why do you make me do these things to you? - every wife beater
Dark Brandon - Ooooh, scary. Except we ALL know the eyes behind those aviators were blank. And the only thing in danger was the nearest ice cream cone.
When Democrats lose, it's always about the messaging and never the message.
David Hogg is their vice-chair. Nuff said.
“…we grew up seeing extremely vile content overflowing from right-wing spaces into regular spaces…” They still think 4chan was a right-wing space.
Why is authenticity so hard for the left? Classic Liberals didn't have that problem, but the modern left seems incapable of seeing it, liking it, or being it. It's a weird phenomenon, which of course leads to rampant and easy lying .
What else might have helped if the Democrats ever saw a war they didn't like. But instead they have welcomed the neocons into leadership positions in the party, and put a guy who believes in US world domination by means fair or foul, violent or through bribery, whatever it takes, even if it puts us at extreme risk of nuclear war, in the presidency.
More like Dork Woke. Picture Rick Moranis in Space Balls.
The existential question for our country is will the people fall for this ridiculous bullshit again? I have no confidence, but I lean to the "No" side, barely.
"Look what you made me do. "
It's always projection with them. They always make the most extreme accusations to justify behavior they know normal people would find vile, if they didn't lie about it convincingly, you know, like sending brownshirts out to torch Tesla dealerships, then claim that they had to use Hitler's tactics to fight fascism. They use Hitler's tactics because they worked, no other reason.
Jamie said... I laughed my fool head off every time they trotted out that meme. They really thought it was scary?!
It was months before I even learned it was a left-wing meme. I thought it was right wingers making fun of Biden’s tough-guy act.
Not one bit of the first paragraph was real. It was the marketing/PR campaign. This is why when they complain that Harris didn't have enough time for us to get to know her I laugh. Every week she fell farther from that first moment when she was the best/only chance they had.
RideSpaceMountain @10:23, thank you SO MUCH for that! [wipes eyes]
"... dainty little fist..."
Does it ever cross their thoughts that instead of a new attitude what the Democratic Party needs is a new set of policies
I thought it was right wingers making fun of Biden’s tough-guy act.
So did I! It only got funnier when I learned that his own side was doing it on purpose. It was such a welcome bit of entertainment during those months when I was sure he'd ("he" would, you know, the "President") be reelected, Trump jailed or murdered, and all of us marching toward an insufficiently electrified hell.

“All these new staffers, we grew up seeing extremely vile content overflowing from right-wing spaces into regular spaces,”
Ah, yes, "extremely vile content" like "trans women are just men with a mental problem", or "Joe Biden is a dementia patient", or "no, only women can get pregnant or menstruate"
Here’s an alternative idea: On all issues where Republicans enjoy a 70-30 polling advantage, compromise immediately and move on.
"I think it's great if the Democrats are letting go of their gloomy repressiveness and reveling in the benefits of freedom of speech."
One thing the Democrats will not do is revel in the benefits of free speech. A big part of their current identity is to supress free speech and I don't see that going away anytime soon.
Over at Yahoo News, a lefty aggregator, lefties are cheering because Tesla, which employs thousands of Americans, lost a couple of $billion while the Chinese EV is surging in popularity. That’s what there is to know about Democrats. Not cool, just seditious bottom feeders.
"It was months before I even learned it was a left-wing meme. I thought it was right wingers making fun of Biden’s tough-guy act."
Same. It was so evidently parodic that I thought it was some heavy-handed conservative mockery. That progs thought it was somehow cool seemed like further evidence of Prog-Boomer hysterical fantasy.
Sure, Jan, that's the problem. Clearly the scolding needs to be angrier and snarkier!
Confidential to the fucking retards: This is sarcasm.
There was a time last summer when over a billion dollars of marketing hype was presented to the public to attempt making the Democratic Party "cool." That spending is perfectly in line with the EPA funding tens of billions of dollars for political slush funds via NGOs during the Biden/Harris administration, and USAIDs shenanigans with its hundreds of billions. Nothing is so cool as having unlimited funds from someone else's money to spend, I guess.
Democrats reveling in (their own) free speech, even while reviling (others') free speech. Revealing that: free speech--as with due process, equal protection, judicial review and democratic elections-- is merely a tool to be honored as long (but only as long) as it is useful to advance Progressive socialism.
their violence is speech, our speech is violence,
Tim Walz’s outdoorsy drip led to a Chappell Roan-inspired camo trucker hat.
That hat came out of a Zoom working group of "White Dudes for Harris" (read soy boys and gay men) that included James Carville. Video ended up being leaked of Carville cussing them all out and hanging up because the idiots thought the hat would really get working class men behind Harris. That's the good old days for the Dems? Wow!
There was a time last summer when the media thought they might succeed in making the Democratic Party look cool.
Fixed it for them.
The Kakistocrat is inconsolable that the nation is no longer lead by the brilliant and incisive Biden, and sorely disappointed that America passed up the kind of articulate and deep thinking leader that President Kamala would have been. His new handle well suits him after all.
college-educated people make more money, so let's make sure everyone gets a college degree - then they'll all make more money! Home ownership correlates with lower crime, so let's make sure everyone can get a home loan - then there'll be a lot less crime!
The justly famous Reynolds' Law.
Such policies are not merely signs of a foolish inability to distinguish correlation from causation, but actively undermine the character traits that produce favorable social outcomes like low crime and high income.
Revealing that: free speech--as with due process, equal protection, judicial review and democratic elections-- is merely a tool to be honored as long (but only as long) as it is useful to advance Progressive socialism.
Democrats and other communist scum have always treated liberty as a streetcar. When you get to your destination (unchallenged political power), you step off.
Democrats are openly discussing the timing of the murder of American citizens for political ends - aka domestic terrorism. They face zero risks. They are allowed to do it by our universities, by our police and by our Secret Service which Republicans run and which has repeatedly failed to protect Trump.
They face zero risks from the powers that be.
They face NON-zero risks from the rest of us.
It's clear that the purple-haired urban bicoastal crowd is planning a violent overthrow of what they have been calling Our Democracy. When their dainty little fists are raised for the last time, and their precious little Revolution is at last upon us, and mob violence is threatened against the law-abiding, tax-paying, family-raising, home-owning, well-armed yeomanry of flyover country, and the police are stretched too thin to perform their usual function of protecting criminals from ordinary citizens, well.... the purple-hairs will spend the last week or ten days of their existence on earth in utter shock at the strength and savagery and merciless determination of the counter-revolution.
So "dainty little fists" is going to be a thing around here, hmm? I have no objections...
"I only beat you, Jenny, because of that bastard Johnson and this stupid war!"
My favorite dark woke is when Dem Rep Maxine Dexter told a crowd ”We have to fuck Trump”. Heh, that never gets old.
It's the absurd solidarity of the party line that prevents them from changing positions on even something like an 80/20 issue. You have to be 100% repeating the Approved Narrative, no deviation. It's fundamentally fear, the same dynamic in the Reformation era Catholic church, that any opening up doctrine to questions invites chaos and dissolution.
You can literally see the cognitive dissonance on Liz Warren's face and body, in that recent interview that's floating around. Her body rejects what's she saying.
I see the Democrats problem. They're just too darn nice to engage in that sort of thing. Trump's been pig wrestling all his life, but they've lived in a higher realm. They live on a plane where ideals are enunciated rather than prejudices are acted out. This is like a foreign language to them. In their mouth it sounds inauthentic, like a Cambridge graduate trying to sound like a Cockney......Since the death of Mother Theresa, most righteous Americans have looked to Kamala Harris for moral guidance. It's unfair to ask her to go dark. She's the bright pure light on the city on the hill. Kamala should remain lofty and little out of reach. Young women should continue to look up to her as an aspirational figure. She shouldn't indulge in mere politics.
I am sad that the NYT doesn't allow comments on that article. I love reading the Readers' Picks as a barometer of what the bien pensant class is thinking.

You know why.
Open borders is an 80/20 issue.
World War III is an 80/20 issue.
Censorship is an 80/20 issue.
Men in women’s sports is an 80/20 issue.
Importing workers to exploit and keep wages low is an 80/20 issue.
Nobody wants their policies. The only path they have to power is violence, intimidation, and deceit.
We did it, Joe! The best Biden ever. Weird. No joy, might not be another Brat summer. Turn the page. Oligarchs. Chaos. Dark Woke.
So instead of maybe pausing, taking a step back and evaluating where they missed connecting with voters, the left thinks doubling down on being vicious, nasty and obnoxious is their best path forward.
Knock yourselves out. Figuratively AND literally.
And if all else fails, you could always try killing Trump again.

FormerLawClerk,
It makes no sense to complain about Substack -- they don't have editors, they aren't a publisher.
That would be like complaining to the manufacturers of the typesetting machines or the printing presses about why they printed Walter Duranty's lies about the Soviet Union.
Or like trying to blame Verizon because of somebody's swating telephone call.
My daughter-in-law calls her husband Dark XXXX whenever he slips her leash. Luckily, for her, it rare, and a bit of whisky is usually involved, and usually only around his family (us). When he is like that, we find him hilarious. Lightening fast wit, etc. They are over a hundred miles away, and that is one of the big reasons that she keeps their distance.
That would be like complaining to the manufacturers of the typesetting machines or the printing presses about why they printed Walter Duranty's lies about the Soviet Union.
True.
Or like trying to blame Verizon because of somebody's swating telephone call.
Well, not so fast. For whatever reason, Verizon and other big carriers have made it possible for malefactors to connect to their networks from the dark net, spoof a telephone number, and call in a false report to the police or try to peddle solar panels to you with robocalls. This is a technological problem that could be solved if the networks cared to. The fact that they do not tells me that they are making money by facilitating it. We supposedly had this problem solved under Obama, but it's worse now than it ever was.
Jack Crosbie has a great career of burning billions of dollars inside a Democratic party campaign ahead of him.
"There was a time last summer when the Democratic Party was cool."
It lasted for approximately 10 minutes, so most of America missed it.
If your a Dem in Minnesota you can burn down a police station or liquor store, or vandalize a Tesla and get away scot free. How cool is that?
Someone should add up how much the left and some "Republicans" spent trying stop Trump. It would be an astronomical number.
There was the billions spent on the Biden & Harris campaigns, the ridiculous money spent on the Russia Hoax and Mueller, the endless impeachment theater followed by the Jan. 6th theater, and then add the value of all the free media, and maybe biggest of all, the now discovered money laundered through NGOs and the budget to left wing organizations to fight him and everything he does for over 8 years. It's many billons of dollars, and it ultimately failed, though still running on empty. That's how bad their plans work because they are completely unhinged. Probably the biggest most expensive political failure in history, and we paid for it.
"There was a time last summer when the Democratic Party was cool."
Agitating your supporters enough to get the crazier ones to try to kill your political opponent is "cool"? Who knew?
