Imagine that you’re the unquestioned ruler and Godfather of the Democratic party, and that you have absolute power as far as messaging is concerned. What would you do to save the party from electoral disaster next November? Given a general perception among your non-college-educated voters that Democrats (a) aren’t too fond of European descendants (i.e., palefaces), (b) feel a much greater allegiance with those who trashed cities after George Floyd‘s murder in late May of 2020 than with regular schlubs, and (c) are overly beholden to the wokester nutters and the “teach CRT to grade-school kids and explain how evil white people are” crowd.
If it was my call, I would start by launching a “We Fucked Up” musical tour in major stadiums, and then I would deliver a major social-media speech that says “look, we’ve gotten off-track here and we know it…what we really stand for is moderate, non-crazy, JFK-influenced, Eric Adams-styled liberalism. Have you ever listened to Adams? Do you remember JFK? That’s the kind of thing we believe in now. Not too crazy, not too extreme…we are officially sending Robin DiAngelo and other CRT crazies to live in the Solomon Islands for the foreseeable future.
The bottom line is that from this point on we’re sensible, moderate humanists…”progressive” as far as it goes…a little to the left of moderate Republicans but definitely not in league with the nutbag lefties, from whom we are officially disassociating ourselves from. Oh, and if certain elements within our party don’t like this and start screaming that we’re betraying the wokester movement? To this we have two responses: (1) “Gee, that’s really too bad” and (2) “Tough shit if you don’t like it.” Because at the end of the day, who else can they vote for except us?
Just to make things extra clear, I would change the name of the Democratic party to the JFK party. Or the JFK Democrats. Or the Sensible Democrats.
