More Democrats fear the party’s image isn’t just damaged – it’s broken

If you dont see a problem classifying the working class as "rude-crude-lewd" then you are just as disconnected from the working class as the other poster.

The attempt to make this about me personally rather than actually producing a reason to believe your previous post is noted.

I just....find that so hard to believe. With wokeness finally gone, people are allowed to have more and more free speech.

Yeah, nothing like government actions to eliminate a point of view to give us more and more free speech.

Come on, this is pretty Orwellian even by modern GOP standards. Who is feeding people this nonsense? Is the the same people selling the idea the rolling back 6 decades of civil rights progress makes the GOP in line with MLK jrs goals?

There is no "fascist regimes." Rather, with Trump back in office, people can speak and think freely without being "canceled" for not being "politically correct."

Acosta's leaving should be well known. Since you don't watch the same news you can't see the difference. Even the super progressive Young Turks has changed, according to my son.
Media depends on advertising so they can push stations right (not to be confused with correct.)
Zuckerberg's new policy of letting posters pretty much police themselves (like lunatics running the asylum) will make it easier for foreign hackers who want to hurt our country to publish their lies.
Do I feel freer? I was asked to participate in an allies of immigrants witness holding signs on the road. I wanted to make sure the organizer had gotten permits.
The elders, an extremist group around here, is trying to have recall elections for city officials who disagree with them. They wanted the city to refuse a multi million dollar grant that would be dedicated to "green" projects. They are divisive promoters of Christian nationalism, pushing what are incomplete, cherry picked Bible passages that I believe distorts Jesus' mission and message.

I don’t care if people believe in wokeness.

It’s just wokeness didn’t allow those who disagreed with them to express their views.

Or being dragged out of their offices by Musk and hs thugs--along with sensitive personal information on the clients they serve?

?????

My way or the highway. As long as it benefits them, then it's good policy. Once it's used against them, then it's an unbelievable hate crime.

Believe me, the current administration is much more dangerous than "wokeness" in suppressing speech. He wants to interfere with universities and K-12 schools. He is deporting exchange students who stood up for the persecuted Palestinian people. He lambasted an Episcopal bishop for preaching God's truth to power.

Funny, I seem to recall a lot of people disagreeing with whatever "wokeness" is. Not that anyone seemed able to actually define it, of course, but objecting to it, that happened all the time.

STOP LISTENING TO PROGRESS RADIO! STOP WATCHING CNN AND MNNBC. STOP LISTENING TO RACHEL MADDOW AND THE VIEW! STOP WAITING FOR THESE SHRILLS TO TELL YOU WHAT TO THINK AND LISTEN TO WHAT CONSERVATIVES AND EX-DEMOCRATS HAVE BEEN TRYING TO TELL YOU FOR YEARS!

Thanks for showing just how concerned you are that other people have different political opinions, than yourself.
It really means a lot!

You are welcome.

I do not feel that it is necessary to provide any evidence or justification to demonstrat that it is personally offensive to categorize the working class as "rude-crude-lewd" people. The notion demonstrates so much ignorance and disconnectedness that it isnt even worth further discussion.

Wait, I thought the previous claim was that wokeness (whatever that is) was gone. Why the need to run away from that talking point so quickly?

It’s just wokeness didn’t allow those who disagreed with them to express their views.

Reviewing a poster's past words on this very forum shows this claim to also be false. It is weird how little of these kinds of spin stand up to the slightest bit of scrutiny.

Yes, we can all see that.

I seem to remember tens of thousands of Muslims in Michigan telling people not to vote for Kamala because Trump was going to be better for the Palestinian people.

Good.

This is why the Democrats are in trouble. This kind of rhetoric and fear mongering is what people are fed up with. Keep it up. We like being in charge. As long as you and others continue to make wild accusations and misrepresentations including continual resting on racism, sexusm, phobias etc and the goal of reublicans then we will keep on winning. All common sense has gone out the window with far too.many on the left.

Keep it up. This kind of nonsensical rhetoric is precisely why Democrats are in trouble.

Of course you would think that a good thing. USAID is certainly "woke."

I wish that was the case. I dont know if anyone claimed it was GONE. I think wokeness is ending. It's on its way out. But it's so ingrained in many that it's not easy to root it out. It will take work and continual assessment to get rid on completely. It will dearer below the surface and if it's not continually addressed it can come back. I want to see actual legislation in place to stop as much as possible.

As a former Muslim (now saved child of God) I just want to note that for Middle East foreign policy the best we can do is Trump, for real.

Stop listening to the extremists... We can try something new and maybe have a chance at something other than war. Trump has ideas, we can see how it goes with everyone working together.

Hamas are terrorists. There's no future with them. We are looking to the non extremist Arab world for help with Palestine.

I for one am most excited about our new foreign policy outlooks, which is to say we are out of the generational war business!
