Dark Woke: Is it time liberals got mean?


Is it time that liberals stopped being nice and turned into more of a Regina George bully toward the right?
If what I see is liberals being nice....

Wow...

They are the biggest vile group of people in our modern times.
 
No, you're not triggered in the slightest. :rolleyes:

I didn’t say I wasn’t triggered.

I said don’t confuse the cause of it. They aren’t equivalent.

Mine is all about the record of fact and what our system says we do with various levels of documentation.

Someone with the level of documentation of criminality Trump has, and his victim body count, belongs in prison.

I’m not the problem given our system. I’m right in this. Those who can not DISCERN shit from Shinola are the problem. Not that I’m triggered by the dichotomy of what Trump is, based on the documented record of fact and what ought to be based on it, and what is.

You might have already heard that there’s a new ideology on the block. In response to Donald Trump’s reelection as US president – and the wider withering of progressive, democratic politics across the world – people are calling for liberals to up their game and lower their tone. To wrest back power from right-wing politicians with no moral code, they argue, the left-leaning liberals need to learn to fight dirty as well. It’s time to go “dark woke”.

To be clear: no one seems capable of agreeing on what dark woke actually means, or able to give an indisputable example of “dark wokeism”. Some have pointed to AOC calling the new Republican government “rapists” and telling critics: “Oh, are you triggered? Cry more.” Others have cited the much-loved tradition of punching Nazis, or simply hitting right-wing ideologues with a brutal (and often deeply personal) insult....



Do you think it's time for liberals to be meaner?

I kind of hope they go for it. They already have a rep for being obnoxious and shoving their views down peoples throats.

But they are so correct, that they have to force everyone to be like them. Just like communist China did decades ago. They have to rehabilitate all us on the right, to think in lockstep like they do.
 
Liberals aren't mean or nice. They exist in a reality that transcends normal morality or ethics. They're just brainwashed and unhinged. Its like saying lizard is "mean" or a lizard is "nice". They're just lizards.

You always get everything backwards.

The American right demands lock step, not the left.

Sho any disagreement with Trump and you are disloyal, out.

Kiplinger's, Chenney, etc.

They are so self righteous, that anyone who disagrees with them are to be scorn.

Which group has been disowning their relatives of late for being in the wrong tribe?

I think many of you guys are way past me already.

Please elaborate.

Anyone who wants to be part of his inner circle needs to have the same goals he does. I do not care, he does nothing to me for my believing different when I do.
Kiplinger's, Chenney, etc.
I'm sorry. What are those names suppose to mean to me?

What on Earth are you talking about, Josie? What power do liberals have to "bully" the right? Republicans hold all political power in this country at the national level and all major corporations are bending the knee to their will.

No. Liberals cannot be meaner because liberalism relies on the concept of tolerance, consensus and institutional trust. No, liberals should become populist progressives, and drive out the "civility politics" Democrats, and then attack the Republicans for selling out the American people at every level of society, except the wealthiest whom they serve.
 
One can actually feel the anger and resentment that Trump beat Kamala. And Trump's only been back in office 24 days. Just imagine the level of angst by Jan. 20, 2026!

I can hardly wait.
That you feel glee at anger and resentment towards your fellow Americans displays a fundamental flaw in you.
 
Drummed out for not being in lockstep with Trump.
I do not know those names. have you checked for correct spelling, first and last name?

If you mean Liz Cheney, she chose to oppose Trump. She chose to badmouth him.

How was Liz or Dick "drummed out?" I have no idea what you speak of. I know Dick hated Trump as well. He stated this when his daughter ran in 2022:

 
Of course you do.

(kiplinger was autocorrect for kinzinger)

Being disingenuous reflects poorly on you.
Stop rationalizing your spelling mistakes. Many last names are the same. First and last name, what... Is the spelling to hard for you for a first and last name?

Seriously dude!

That is all you've got?

Case closed.

They are the biggest vile group of people in our modern times.

Remember how people chanted “Let’s go Brandon” and “Lock her up” at Kamala’s presidential rallies about Trump?

Like liberals haven't been mean now for 4 years
 
Remember how people chanted “Let’s go Brandon” and “Lock her up” at Kamala’s presidential rallies about Trump?
No. I never watched any of those.
 
No. I never watched any of those.

It also never happened. But Republicans did chant stuff like that at Trump’s rallies.

This idea that Democrats have been mean while Republicans have been avatars of civility is ****ing absurd.

I'm sorry. I do not read propaganda media or watch propaganda news. i now know who Adam Kinzinger is, but I had to search for him. I never knew that name before. He is another insignificant member of congress to me, and look. Now he is with the Communist News Network.

I search for the stories I see here, and what spikes my interest. Bad blood between people, is like gossip girl talk to me. I avoid it. When something interests me, I search multiple viewpoints. I look for actual video or quotes in full context.

I never let some talking head tell me what to believe, so you can just run away with your tail tucked.

Both Cheney and Kinzinger were on a committee that refused to accept some evidence. The committee was clearly out to get Trump, rather than go for the facts. It was the republican party that censured him. Not Trump.
