Some Democrats are starting to realize that Trump Derangement Syndrome was a loser.
But it’s too late.
And they called Trump this unthinkable name for 4 years. Now Democrats admit he was right.
As West Wing Daily reports:
The 2028 Presidential Election will arrive faster than anyone realizes, and Democrats are already trying to position themselves to appeal to General Election voters.
The left’s strategy appears to come straight out of the Men in Black film franchise, where the titular characters deploy a device to erase the experience of seeing aliens from the minds of civilians.
In this case, Democrats looking to run for President in 2028 want to zap from the minds of voters the memories of all the woke positions Democrats staked out in 2020.
California Governor Gavin Newsom claimed Democrats needed to act more “culturally normal” and cited dropping the phrase “Latinx” from their vocabulary, even though it’s one he repeatedly used.
Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro argued Democrats went too far during COVID in supporting lockdowns and vaccine and mask mandates.
Axios reported that Shapiro “wrote in his recent book that Democrats, “got the masking and vaccine mandates wrong” during the COVID-19 pandemic and that he would have “handled the state’s response differently” if he’d been governor then.”
But as Attorney General of Pennsylvania, Shapiro defended all the lockdowns and mask mandates in court.
Pete Buttigieg bemoaned Democrats’ support for corporate DEI seminars that Buttigieg said looked like they came straight out of Portlandia, a sketch comedy show that parodied Portland’s left-wing culture, which Buttigieg argued created “Trump Republicans” by promoting anti-white racism and bizarre theories on gender.
“What do we mean when we talk about diversity? Is it caring for people’s different experiences and making sure no one is mistreated because of them, which I will always fight for? Or is it making people sit through a training that looks like something out of Portlandia, which I have also experienced.” Buttigieg added, “And it is how it is how Trump Republicans are made.”
But there is only so far the 2028 contenders can go without offending their base.
Newsom declared that opposing woke was just racism, saying that “all this anti-woke stuff is just anti-Black. Period. Full stop.”
Democrats attacked Trump as a white supremacist and a mass murderer for opposing woke ideology and calling out the left’s COVID tyranny.
Democrats also know this is a losing proposition to carry this posture into 2028.
However, Democrats also know you can’t get to a general election unless you win the primary, and each presidential hopeful on the left now has to walk a very narrow tightrope.
