Shows they haven't learned a thing. The Democrats’ Culture Denialism They just don’t get it. By Ruy Teixeira Jan 02, 2025 In the wake of the Democrats’ drubbing at the hands of Donald Trump and the GOP, you’d assume the party would be all-in on a fundamental rethink, starting with some serious soul-searching on how the party came to be so out of sync with the majority of America on key cultural questions. Questions like: Is America really a “white supremacist” society? What does “structural racism” even mean and does it explain all the socioeconomic problems of nonwhites? Is anyone who raises questions about immigration levels a racist? Are personal pronouns necessary and something that should be popularized if not demanded? Are transwomen exactly the same as biological women and are those who question such a claim simply “haters” who should be expunged from polite society? For each of these questions, the answer for the overwhelming majority of Americans is an obvious no. But in elite Democratic circles, it’s a different story. For a party pondering its unpopularity, you might think that this gap would be a good place to start. Well, if the two months since the election is anything to go by, you’d be wrong. Instead, much of the party is maneuvering to change as little as possible on the cultural front. Why? Because fundamentally today’s Democrats are culture denialists. That is, they do not consider cultural issues real issues. They are typically viewed as politically motivated distractions or as expressions of something else entirely (i.e., racism, sexism, xenophobia, transphobia, etc.) They are not treated as issues that need to be dealt with on their own terms. https://www.liberalpatriot.com/p/the-democrats-culture-denialism 1

B-Man Posted January 2 Posted January 2 The current Democratic discourse is rife with examples. Here’s Massachusetts Democratic Representative Jim McGovern as tweeted out by progressive group CAP Action: Get it? No one would normally object to Democratic policies around trans issues or immigration issues. Backlash against them is just ginned up by Republicans for nefarious political purposes. The real issue is the depredations of big corporations. The clear implication is that Democrats don’t need to change their positions on either trans and immigration issues but instead should point out to befuddled voters that these are non-issues and that their real enemy is corporate America. https://www.liberalpatriot.com/p/the-democrats-culture-denialism

The only right the left thinks you have is to abort your baby. Absolutely nothing else matters to them they are too far gone. Anyone voting Democrat still at this point needs to have their head examined. Hate Trump all you want. Hate the things he wants to do like eliminating income tax or annex Canada. None of it puts your actual freedoms at risk. People that support the things these Ds support are just a few steps away from North Korea. That’s their logical conclusion. 1
B-Man Posted January 11 Posted January 11 Fetterman hasn't abandoned his legislative priorities, but he has consistently approached his duties with a sense of representing the entire Pennsylvania electorate. Suddenly, that approach seems to spreading as the reverberations of a stinging presidential defeat continue. While some still plan to oppose Trump's agenda and nominees strenuously, the appetite among Democrats for La Resistance obstruction has waned considerably.

B-Man Posted January 12 Posted January 12 These four women destroyed the Democratic Party with race By Glenn K. Beaton Four young Congresswomen – not even Senators – accomplished something that eluded years of Democratic Presidents and their woes. Jimmy Carter in his malaise, Bill with Monica and his cigar, Lyndon Johnson and his Vietnam War – none of that was able to accomplish what these four young Congresswomen accomplished. They destroyed the Democratic Party. It was a perfect storm that began around the year 2020. China leaked a bioengineered virus from its biowarfare lab – probably accidentally – to produce worldwide mass hysteria and lockdowns of billions of people. It gathered steam when a thug died in the hands of a white cop. Protests and riots ensued, weirdly exempted from the lockdowns. At the time, the country was already weary of Donald Trump and his often productive but typically provocative antics. These four Congresswomen seized the moment. Never great fans of America, they seized that time of weakness to destroy her, or at least act out their anger at her. The death of the thug became emblematic of white police brutality. Never mind that this particular thug probably died of drugs, not a chokehold. Never mind that more Blacks die at the hands of Black police officers than at the hands of white ones. Never mind that the leading cause of death among young Black men is other young Black men. Never mind that the murder rate among Blacks is seven-times that of whites, and nearly all Black murders are at the hands of other Blacks. Led by these Congresswomen, the Left decided that sticking to those inconvenient facts was . . . RACIST! The narrative was more important than any dumb facts. To disagree with their false narrative or their false charge of racism served only to prove you’re a . . . RACIST! Your only salvation was confession, and then they might let you off easy with just a few hundred hours of DEI training. Oh yes, DEI. The Left’s long-standing reverse discrimination called “Affirmative Action” had failed, and their effort to sustain their failed discrimination was also failing. So, the Left did what they do when their policies fail: They rebranded it. (See, e.g., communism rebranded as socialism, rebranded as liberalism, rebranded as wokeism, rebranded as progressivism.) The new brand for “Affirmative Action” was “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.” This new brand was the same as the old brand, except, this time, it was coupled with brainwashing. You had to not only engage in reverse discrimination; you had to believe in it. You had to believe that the company (or college or whatever) was stronger if the guy down the hall had dark skin. The problem was that DEI, like Affirmative Action, tended to conflict with a meritocracy. But the DEI supremacists had a solution to that problem: Do away with merit. Merit became a code word for . . . RACIST! While we’re at it, they thought, let’s do away with sex. A nominee for the Supreme Court announced rather proudly that she could not define “woman.” That proved to be a slippery slope. Next thing we knew, people that everyone else defines as not women – you know, people with a Y chromosome, high testosterone levels, a penis and testicles – were calling themselves “women” and competing in women’s sports like swimming and even boxing. Unsurprisingly, in view of their testosterone levels and male musculature, they usually won. By a pool length or a knockout. At which time they joined the women in the showers. If you complained, you were the sex equivalent of . . . RACIST! You were alphabet-people-phobic. For that, you get another few hundred hours of DEI training, and then you get cancelled. No soup for you, and no career either. Two more things. Bear with me. MORE at the link: https://theaspenbeat.com/2025/01/11/these-four-women-destroyed-the-democratic-party-with-race/ 1
