Wokeness at Warp Speed
Steyn Online ^ | 15 July 2019 | Mark Steyn

A few months ago I observed to Tucker Carlson that the difference between "Bush Derangement Syndrome" and "Trump Derangement Syndrome" was that the former was largely contained to a visceral loathing for the President himself, whereas the latter has been extended to anyone who voted for him - ie, the half of the electorate comprised of "racists", "fascists" and "white supremacists". Now TDS rampages on, to consume half the Democrats, too.

Say what you like about Nancy Pelosi, but she took back the House by running the Dems as a "moderate" party that talked about things like voter concern over health care. A year on, and most of what the party's presidential candidates are yakking about - busing, the needs of trans-African-Americans, open borders to all six-and-a-half billion Undocumented-Americans around the world - is bonkers. The Democrat platform is a twitchy reflex that, whatever Trump is for, they're against. So he wakes up every morning, tweets his rubber hammer at their kneecaps, and they respond accordingly. He doesn't even have to hold any particular position: The actual Trump is utterly indifferent on the matter of "gender fluidity" and, from his experience as a businessman in Canada and Scotland, is not ill-disposed toward socialized health care. But the Trump of their fevers is a transphobe who wants to shove granny off a cliff, and that's who they're running against.

It’s Teacher and Parent Day at the Congressional Schoolhouse.
“Your daughter’s a sweet girl, and everybody likes her!
Alexa’s a great storyteller with a good sense of humor.
Do you know what she told me yesterday? She said, Nancy, I’m comin’ for your job, so start packin’ your bags, you old B*tch! Isn’t she funny? I laughed until I cried.”

I so wish public figures - inlcuding Sean "ummm, and ah uno" Hannity - would stop referring to the RAT party as the DemocratIC party. THERE IS NOTHING DEMOCRATIC ABOUT THE CURRENT PARTY.

Is that the Koran instead of a bible?

Well, it’s too thick to be the Communist Manifesto. Must be Das Kapital.

Serious PCness question:
If a guy declares himself to be a transgendered woman, will her prostate cancer vanish?

Wrong, usually right Mark.

It wasn’t Nancy’s “moderation” that won theHouse back - it was frustration of Trump supporters who tired of the Republican neverTrumpers backstabbing the President, like a Barbara. Comstock in Virginia, and retirements by 40 ex-committee chairmen who saw their lust for power diminished.
