THE VIEW FROM HERE - On November 8, 2021, this column published “Nancy Pelosi is the Most Dangerous Person on the Planet.” See Pelosi It was a follow-up to the June 21, 2018 article “The Dangers of Dichotomy: The Saved vs. The Damned,” See Dichotomy and scads of other articles on the extremist danger which Pelosi’s Identity Politics, now Wokeism, held for Americans. We now are witnessing the fruits of Pelosism in the behavior of Donald Trump. Had the Dems not been too cowardly to stand up to Pelosism and her racist Identity Politics, the nation would not have become polarized between two extremists groups: MAGA and Wokers.
The Mechanics of Pelosism - Wokeism:
1. When a society is split into two factions of true believers where each sees The Other as all evil and must be vanquished, e.g., Protestants vs Catholics in medieval Europe, it destroys itself. As Abe Lincoln recognized, “a House divided against itself cannot stand.” Unexpectedly, on November 5th, the nation rejected racist, anti-Semitic Wokeism. In her delusional state of mind, Pelosi claims the problem is that Joe Biden did not quit the race soon enough. BTW, he did not quit; Pelosi forced him out. If Biden stayed the candidate for too long, it was 100% Pelosi’s fault. In retaliation, Biden gave Harris all the accumulated campaign funds and then anointed Kamala, thereby preventing Pelosi from hand picking Biden’s replacement.
2. The premise of Pelosi’s Identity Politics is that as soon as the minorities are the majority of voters, then the minorities will replace the Whites. Under Identity Politics, the world is divided into two groups: Oppressors and Oppressed; Whites and Jews are assigned as Oppressors and all minorities are the Oppressed. In repudiation of the Declaration of Independence and of Martin Luther King’s “judge each person by content of character and not color of skin,” under Wokeism, individual character is not only irrelevant but is a racist concept to oppress minorities. Thus, an individual’s moral worth is based solely on the group to which he/she belongs. Under the Woke Doctrine of Intersectionality, each minority was bound to support every other minority as victims, because Whites and Jews are the cause of all the world’s ills. Hence, we saw the insanity of Gays for Hamas.
3. As Speaker of the House, Pelosi had this racist, anti-Semitic ideology forced upon college campuses under the ruse of Diversity, Equity and Inclusiveness (DEI). DEI is patterned after both German Nazism and the earlier Russian polarization, e.g the Kulak’s, which had resulted in the starvation of millions in the Ukraine in the 1930's. See Wiki
How Russian Campaign Against the Kulak’s, Nazism, and Pelosism Caused Political Cowardice
When one group is pitted against the evil other, the extremists gain control and ruthlessly suppress any compromise with the evil other. The targeted group generally becomes similarly led by true believers set on destroying their attackers. This was evident back in 2010, when Pelosi’s attacks on generic White people resulted in the Tea Baggers entering Congress. Obama’s regressive economic policies were also a major cause of the Tea Baggers. Newton’s 3rd law applied to politics, “To every action, there is always opposed an equal reaction.”
Law enforcement told Pelosi to stop making existential threats against the Alt Right which was filled with violent White Supremacists, KKK, Nazis and anti-government lunatics like Timothy McVeigh. Because The Far Right was a criminal matter and not a political movement, law enforcement said she should cease attacking them as it would cause violence among the more mentally unstable. However, right wing violence is what Pelosi wanted to help drive minorities into her Woke coalition. Pelosi had a carrot and stick approach: When the minorities were the majority of voters, they would appropriate whatever goodies they wanted, but prior to that, right wing violence would coerce them into the embrace of Woke Dems.
Pelosi’s Dilemma
Almost all Whites and Jews strenuously opposed the Alt Right, making it hard for her to demonize general White people. Her solution was to expand the villainy to all White People by way of White Privilege, White Fragility and by the absurd 1619 Project. As a result of the sins of the forefathers, all Whites and Jews today did not earn their position but owed everything to the ramifications of slavery and hence reparations were required. Thus, denying promotion of qualified Jews was justified on the grounds that Jews were privileged and they owned everything to Blacks. Thus, DEI required that unqualified Blacks be promoted, unless they believed in individual inalienable rights. Then, it was cancel culture time.
Pelosi Used Cancel Culture Against Dissenters
Anyone who dissented from Woke Identity Politics was excised from their positions. Pelosi held the purse strings for all Dems in the House of Representatives, and if they wanted any funds for their campaigns, they had to support Pelosi’s DEI. College professors who objected to Woke DEI nonsense were culture cancelled, especially if they were Jews or Blacks, while promotions were based solely on Wokeism. Hence, Claudine Gay became Harvard’s President. Her bona fides were (1) Constant Wokeism and (2) Plagiarism.
Virtually no one spoke out about the racism and anti-Semitism of Wokeism as they would be culture cancelled. In cowardice, they remained silent, while those with no shame and often of little talent rushed to get on the gravy train of Wokeism.
Pelosism Elected Trump in 2016
But for Pelosism’s true believers, Donald Trump would not have been elected as Hillary Clinton would not have been so stupid as to call millions of White voters in the Rust Belt, “Deplorables.” The poor and middle class voters responded by voting so that Trump won the Electoral College.
After Trump won in 2016, Pelosi squelched all observations that calling millions of voters Deplorables was the final straw which lost the election. Pelosi doubled down on her Woke Identity Politics. She gained considerable help from the American Jewish Committee (AJC) and The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) which were silent about the ever increasing anti-Semitism of Wokeism, and in return, the Dems promised to lavish millions of dollars upon the agencies to fight anti-Semitism. Even Brave New World and 1984 did not have anything as twisted as the AJC’s and ADL’s throwing prestige behind Wokeism and being rewarded by getting funds to fight anti-Semitism.
The Role of the Woke Pollsters
Although this column had many written articles that Wokeism would destroy the Biden Administration and that Americans hated Wokeism, the Dem pollsters refused to include obvious questions about Wokeism in the published polls. See Woke Group Rights, Equity is Bunk (In 2021, BLM was yet to be Woke and Angelenos thought Gascón would be fair to all. When the truth came out, he was ousted from office 60% to 40%.), Biden Shuns Centrism, Wokeism Ruins Biden, Americans Hate Wokeism
Since Pollsters are not dumb, they had to know that maybe 85% of Americans hated Wokeism. Poll questions about Wokeism would stimulate anti-Dem sentiment prior to the election. Almost as soon as the election results were in, however, people pointed to Wokeism and its lunacy. Millions of minorities including Arabs in swing states had voted against Wokeism, while Biden, Harris, and Walz continued their anti-Semitic Blood Libels against Israel, Netanyahu, and a majority of American Jews as supporters of genocide. Biden is still pressing his slanderous Blood Libels that the Jews are starving Gazans. Did Biden mention Yahya Sinwar’s wife’s $32,000 Birkin bag? When the IDF has civilians move so that they can avoid being bombed, Biden calls it “forced relocations.” Had a Dem pre election pollster published a single poll showing the impact that the strong anti-Wokeism blowback was having on the election, they would have been fired.
When Extremists Control, People Become Cowards
MAGA are also extremists and they are essentially the same as the Wokers in their intolerance. Since extremists are always a minority, they have to be ruthless upto and encouraging purges as Trump is promising and essentially what Pelosi was doing to Jews in the universities. Trump will do in public what Pelosi did in secret.
Will Trump’s appointment of sex pervert Matt Gaetz to head of the DoJ result in a GOP orgy of cowardice?
