Democrats’ Brilliant New Strategy: Learn To Speak Like An American

 Issues & Insights

 "What’s more, almost all the counties where Republicans made gains are working class, while Democratic gains were isolated in wealthier, better-educated counties. Is that because Democrats use words such as “intersectionality” or “cisgendered.' ” . . . 

Babylon Bee: 10 Ways Democrats Plan To Win Back Men To help the Democrats out, The Babylon Bee has obtained the following  list  of things the party is planning to do to win back male voters:

 "This week, we saw a spate of news stories blaming Democrats’ troubles on their vocabulary. They’re just using too many darn multisyllabic, academic-sounding words and turning off numbskull voters, is the basic message.

"Seriously?

"The Democrats’ problem isn’t linguistic, it’s ideological. But no one in the party wants to admit that.

"A Washington Post story this week – “Democratic troubles revive debate over left-wing buzzwords” – begins by saying:

Maybe it’s using the word ‘oligarchs’ instead of rich people. Or referring to ‘people experiencing food insecurity’ rather than Americans going hungry. Or ‘equity’ in place of ‘equality,’ or ‘justice-involved populations’ instead of prisoners.

As Democrats wrestle with who to be in the era of President Donald Trump, a growing group of party members — especially centrists — is reviving the argument that Democrats need to rethink the words they use to talk with the voters whose trust they need to regain.

"The Post goes on to say that “liberal candidates too often use language from elite, highly educated circles,” and quotes Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear saying that: “It makes Democrats or candidates using this speech sounding like they’re not normal.”

"Earlier this year, a group of centrist Democrats gathered at a ritzy resort in Loudoun County, Virginia, the richest county in the country, to talk among themselves about how to regain working-class trust.

"Among the recommendations: “get out of elite circles and into real communities” and embrace “traditional American imagery.”

"This week, we also learned that Democrats are spending $20 million to “study the syntax, language, and content that gains attention and virality” of “American men.” The project is called – and we are not making this up – “Speaking with American Men: A Strategic Plan.”

"So, if we understand all this correctly, the answer to the Democrats’ problems is to wave more flags, pretend to like beer, drop more f-bombs, and stick to one-syllable words?

Crying Over George Floyd

 Crying Over George Floyd

"We have politicians who have been in power for decades who cry over the Saint Georges of the world yet remain silent over the multi-generational carnage these public schools impose on unfortunate kids whose only crime is that they were born poor." . . .

"Well, it’s been five years since the Saint George Floyd incident, and what have we learned? What has been done?

"I won’t bother to rehash who and what Saint George was -- that is readily available to anyone who cares to look. Suffice to say, the narrative isn’t remotely accurate. But with the Left the narrative is seldom accurate, as that isn’t its goal. It’s the emotional -- and manipulative -- storyline that’s important, not reality.

"I’ve been a management consultant for decades and in the course of my work I’ve been to some of the toughest neighborhoods in the country. Very few white folks have seen and been where I have.

"We would of course visit these neighborhoods early in the morning, before the animals who stalk these areas get up.

"And if that last sentence offends you, you have no idea what you are talking about. Everyone who services these areas -- or lives there -- knows this is true.

"If you want to be offended, be offended by the 95+% of the decent people who are forced to live in these conditions because they are poor. Be offended by the poor moms who fear for their child’s safety and future on an hourly basis. Be offended by poor women who live under the very real threat of rape and murder every time they leave their homes. Be offended by the overflowing cemeteries of innocent people who were killed by the animals.

"Yet they are forced to live under criminality that in many cases exceeds that of war-torn countries. All for the crime of being poor." . . .

Young Brit Slams U.S. Leftists Mocking Mourning Of Queen: You Mourned George Floyd

 “Dear Americans who mock us for mourning our beloved queen,” Corcoran tweeted. “She dedicated her entire life to her duty and our country even just two days before her death. You mourned a man who pointed a gun at a pregnant woman by burning cities to the ground. We are not the same.” . . .

 Sophie Corcoran's  backing of Israel has subjected her to threats and  abuse because “the Instagram culture of woke, poorly informed infographics” prompts ill-informed people to deny the Jewish State’s right to exist, she wrote. But she called on people of all faiths to stand with Israel and not give in to the anti-Semitic mob."

Riley Gaines Dolphin Kicks ‘Old Deranged Man’ Keith Olbermann After He Tries Dunking on Her Athleticism

RedState

"Keith must enjoy getting smacked around by strong women. The completely unemployable has-been once took on Megyn Kelly by pointing to a job controversy during her time at NBC News. And again, it didn't turn out well for him."

"Keith Olbermann unwisely took a jab at former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines, host of "Gaines for Girls" on OutKick.com, over her athleticism. It didn't work out very well for him.

"Olbermann, who has a history of going after prominent conservative-leaning women on social media from the safety of his basement studio, opted to take a shot at Gaines after Education Secretary Linda McMahon suggested she would have won her race had it not been for a biological male participating in the event.

"She finished 85th in the Olympic Trials," he responded. "She finished tied for 5th in the only race including a transgendered athlete. If there had been none, she MIGHT have finished tied for 4th, or had 5th place to herself."

"[Gaines] was, somehow, a worse swimmer than she is a MAGA stooge."

"Nerds taking on superior athletes rarely work out. And Olbermann drew a response from Gaines. She might as well have given him an atomic wedgie, a swirly, and stuffed him in a locker.

"Gaines defended herself by pointing out she was just 15 when she competed in the Olympic trials.

"And I placed 5th *in the nation* in a sport measured in .01s of a second without going a best. Would you say the 5th-best college football player is objectively bad at their sport?" she wondered.

"No. You’re just a misogynistic pig [and] an old, deranged man with a terminal case of TDS who can’t hold down a job." . . .

Keith Olbermann Tweets That He 'Hopes' Someone 'Assassinates' Donald Trump | OutKick  . . ."He referenced a post from the Biden-Harris HQ X account flagging a clip of Trump saying he had been persecuted worse than any president in history, including Abraham Lincoln." . . .

. . ."Trump says he has been treated worse than Abraham Lincoln, who was assassinated," the campaign account posted on Saturday. 

Olbermann responded by saying "There's always the hope," as in some nut kills Trump, as John Wilkes Booth did Lincoln.

. . ."Keith Olbermann is a caricature of the emotional hemophiliacs suffering from an unhealthy disdain for a political figure whom they don't know personally. 

"Earlier this month, Olbermann called for the dissolution of the Supreme Court for ruling 9-0 that the Colorado Supreme Court erred in disqualifying Trump from the state’s presidential contest. 

"He then implied urine drips from his eyes instead of tears" . . .

May 30, 1922: Dedication of Lincoln Memorial

 The American Catholic

"Well, it took long enough.  Lincoln had been dead for almost half a century before work finally began on his memorial in Washington, with a dedication ceremony occurring on his birthday in Washington DC in 1914.  Plans to memorialize Lincoln in Washington had been mooted about since the time of his death, but in Washington, then and now, nothing moves swiftly.  Controversies about cost and just what form the memorial should take had delayed the project for decades.  The final plan to erect a Greek styled temple to house a Lincoln statue appalled some Lincoln admirers who thought a log cabin memorial would better suit a man as humble as Lincoln.

"The building of the memorial would take eight years, with it being completed and opened to the public on Memorial Day, May 30, 1922.

"The dominating feature of the memorial is of course the brooding statue of a seated Lincoln.  Sculpted by Charles David French, the statue, standing 19 feet, dominates the memorial.  Open 24 hours a day and free for all, the memorial is visited by six million visitors a year and has become a symbol of American freedom  and union, the causes for which Lincoln lived and died." . . .

“The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.”  Abraham Lincoln

We still await the "better angels of our nature" to manifest themselves. At the time of this movie America still needed much forgiveness for the Jim Crow laws and the Japanese internment camps. Overcoming those, we now have such demagogues as the Al Sharpton's, Maxine Waters, the Jew-hating, keffiyeh-clad lap dogs on campus and the glowering, America - loathing Democrats now in Congress. TD
