The Democrats are “toxic” now, Gavin Newsom said last night on Real Time, and are regarded with unfettered contempt by over 70% of the electorate, and that is simply because of their insane allegiance to woke shit.

Identity politics, he meant, along with “all white males are bad and all POCs are wonderful”, cancellations over sexist slights in the workplace, trans stuff in schools and in women’s sports, guys fucking each other in the ass in movies and on streaming series (i.e., Sam Rockwell in The White Lotus), progressive government officials decriminalizing shoplifting by hoodie assholes…all of that “what is happening to our culture?” shit.

And yet elite urban Democrats (especially university-diploma’ed women) are so heavily invested in this stuff that they’ll probably never back off.

Bill Maher to Newsom (:18 mark): “I feel like this country is divided into owners and healers. And I feel that the next president, at least if he or she comes from this party, the Democratic party, is going to be someone who wants to talk and heal.”

Maher quoting Bill Gates (7:20 mak): “In ten years, [Gates said] AI will probably be what doctors and teachers do, and humans won’t be needed for most things.”
