The problem with the old Dem establishment is that it was far more interested in appealing to the PC graduate elites than the hard-working men and women of Normal America. Thus the Biden administration ended up employing a bald man in a dress who had a penchant for stealing women’s suitcases and telling black people who voted for Trump that ‘you ain’t black’. That elite held views that felt crushingly alien to most Americans. It spoke in woke tongues, in the correct-speak of the rarefied realm of the overeducated liberal. Are we seeing a mirror version of this in sections of the insurgent right, who likewise seem more interested in sending coded messages to irony-drunk edgelords online than in speaking plainly to working people who want a new, better America?
Bannon and others are in for a rude awakening if they can’t see how naff and alienating their vice-flirting is. The decent majority of America, preferring MLK to BLM, just rejected the politics of racial grievance peddled by Biden and the rest – they’re hardly now going to say: ‘Yay, fascist salutes.’
As someone who respects the American masses’ democratic yearning for a new politics, one that takes their economic needs and cultural beliefs seriously, I hate to see some of their political ‘betters’ behave so annoyingly. Steve, be normal. It’s not hard.
