Wokeness Is Not to Blame for Trump​


Everyone knows that we can help our youth become more educated by lowering educational standards.

Everyone knows that society will become safer if we allow crime.

Everyone knows that biological boys breaking records in girls competition is fair........

Liberals and centrists arrived at this conclusion with a speed and ardor only available to people who’d been dying to crow about this for years. “Woke is broke,” wrote Maureen Dowd days after Kamala Harris’s loss to Trump, arguing that the left’s “worldview of hyperpolitical correctness, condescension, and cancellation” had alienated half the country. James Carville told Dowd that “defund the police” (not uttered by any mainstream Democratic politician since 2020) were “the three stupidest words in the English language,” while Rahm Emanuel scolded Democrats for dooming themselves via “debates over pronouns, bathroom access,” and “terms such as ‘care economy’ and ‘Latinx.’” Some Democratic politicians agreed, taking particular aim at transgender advocacy, with Massachusetts representative Seth Moulton worrying about his little girls “getting run over on a playing field by a male or formerly male athlete,” and saying that “Democrats spend way too much time trying not to offend anyone.”

Reactionary trolls like Bari Weiss were in full accord, cautioning Democrats that “if you keep doubling down” on “these niche issues you find on college campuses and gender-studies departments,” then “you are going to lose.” Fox News, the house organ of the Republican Party, chimed in, mocking the Democratic National Committee for laboriously acknowledging varied gender identities and Indigenous land at a recent leadership meeting, and more broadly for continuing to talk about gun control, gender, and race, braying over how Democrats hadn’t learned anything from their 2024 loss.

Prominent leftists are also onboard, making one righteous argument at the expense of another. “It’s a Democratic Party that increasingly has become a party of identity politics,” said Bernie Sanders, “rather than understanding that the vast majority of people in this country are working class.” Running to lead the DNC, former Sanders adviser Faiz Shakir declined a call to appoint more trans representatives to DNC seats, arguing that identity should not be the basis of committee appointments. Days later, Shakir and socialist journalist Bhaskar Sunkara were quoted in the New York Times arguing that left activism should be rooted in labor and class inequality, not fights against racism, sexism, homophobia, and transphobia. On a Jacobin podcast, NYU sociologist Vivek Chibber blamed Trump’s victory on Democrats “pushing identity politics down people’s throats,” and argued that progressives focus on race and gender “because they are most important to and for elite sections of minority populations.”
