The Weird Logic of Wajahat Ali

Posted on | November 5, 2021 | Comments Off on The Weird Logic of Wajahat Ali

How many of y’all remember the “white feminism” discourse among progressives following Hillary Clinton’s 2016 defeat? Because I’d spent the previous two years researching radical feminism, this phenomenon caught my attention at the time. What drove this discourse was the exit polls showing that Donald Trump had won a majority of white women voters. In the minds of certain progressives, especially Women of Color (WOC), the problem was something they labeled “White Feminism,” which was critiqued for its allegedly insufficient “intersectionality.” This led to conflict in the “Women’s March” movement.

In a sense, the “White Feminism” discourse was an expression of unrealistic expectations left over from Obama’s “Hope and Change” promises. When you encourage your supporters to believe that your election will bring about a Heaven-on-Earth utopia — “fundamentally transforming the United States of America” — their inevitable disappointment will have many consequences, including a hunt for scapegoats to blame. You could see this coming, almost immediately after Obama was reelected in 2012, as Team Clinton began laying the groundwork for her 2016 campaign. The idea that Our First Black President should be followed by Our First Woman President — because “the arc of the moral universe . . . bends toward justice” — was so taken for granted by Team Clinton that almost nobody seemed to question Hillary’s qualifications as a world-historic figure.

Inside the liberal echo chamber, there was a willful blindness to Hillary Clinton’s notorious “likeability” deficit. Like, why do you think she didn’t get the Democratic nomination in 2008? Wasn’t there a huge clue in the fact that Democratic primary voters preferred an obscure Illinois legislator to the former First Lady of the United States? And when she ran again in 2016, she nearly lost the nomination to a kooky old socialist from Vermont — and would have lost, were it not for the fact that the fix was in at DNC headquarters. You don’t need any conspiracy theories to explain why Donald Trump beat Hillary: People don’t like Hillary.

It’s actually that simple, and yet while Team Hillary was spinning up the “Russian collusion” theory for her 2016 defeat, a significant segment of the Democratic Party’s progressive base was offering their own kooky explanation, blaming “White Feminism” because exit polls showed 53% of white women voted for Trump. And now comes Wajahat Ali to blame the “white rage” of suburban women for Terry McAuliffe’s defeat:

As a student of American history and a person of color, I never underestimate the white, hot rage, anxiety, and resentment of a Karen scorned. You might think you’ve won them over with Beyonce, Oprah, chai latte, and henna, but the cult of Karen will always turn on people of color on a dime to uphold oppressive systems that ensure they remain influential and powerful handmaidens of white supremacy. . . .
In some bright news, 62 percent of college-educated white women went for Democrat Terry McAuliffe, up from 58 percent who went for Biden last year. But overall a majority of white women, around 57 percent, went for Youngkin—a remarkable 15-point swing from 2020 when 50 percent went for Biden and 49 percent for Trump.
I’m not surprised. . . .
The sad truth is that a majority of white women have voted for Republican candidates since 1952, every single time except for Lyndon B. Johnson and for Clinton’s second term.
It makes sense. They vote for their interests, which is preserving whiteness at all costs. . . .

Could someone ask Wajahat Ali what “preserving whiteness” means in this context? Because I am not at all certain how voting against Terry McAuliffe — who is, by the way, a white man — expresses this. Does Ali mean to say that Terry McAuliffe’s agenda is anti-white? If so, why didn’t Terry McAuliffe make this clear during his campaign? But enough with the sarcastic rhetorical questions. What is obviously going on here is that identity politics is the only tool in Wajahat Ali’s analytical toolbox, so that to him, every problem looks like “white supremacy.” His paranoid projection — attributing malevolent motives to his chosen enemies — is analogous to the way radical feminists see the oppressive of forces of heteropatriarchy lurking everywhere. Every segment of the Democratic Party’s coalition has some version of this paranoid scapegoat mentality, including the belief that the evil rich — the “top 1%” or shadowy forces of “corporate America” — are cheating them out of the money that they deserve, and which they intend to get by taxing the rich into bankruptcy.

When your entire political philosophy is rooted in irrational resentments — that is to say, when you are a Democrat — your reaction to electoral defeat will necessarily take the form of a search for scapegoats who can be blamed for this failure. You, of course, bear no responsibility; the whole point of the Democratic Party’s agenda is to absolve its supporters of individual responsibility. Joe Biden kind of shrugged off Terry McAuliffe’s defeat, as if the multiple disasters of the Biden presidency could not possibly have affected the Virginia election. And likewise Wajahat Ali won’t pause to contemplate whether the identity-politics rhetoric in which he specializes might have played some role in this. To be a Democrat is to be forever blameless, and so Wajahat Ali is certain he knows what Democrats are doing wrong:

Democrats might not win the majority of white women, but they haven’t for a while. That ship has sailed. It’s time to court and win over women of color and a diverse coalition that can save this country from itself and its self-destructive addiction to white supremacy. At the very least, now Youngkin can stop playing footsie with Trump and his MAGA acolytes and give them a full-throated bear hug while wearing his winter fleece. However, he should reserve the parade for white women who came out for whiteness like a Bath and Body Works candle sale.

Got that message, Democrats? White women are the enemy!

That’s your 2022 midterm campaign platform. Good luck.

When Democrats Say ‘Our Children’

Posted on | November 4, 2021 | Comments Off on When Democrats Say ‘Our Children’

Never trust a Democrat, especially when they start speaking in first-person plural pronouns, e.g., Joe Biden on Wednesday:

“Vaccinating our children will help us keep our schools open — keep our kids in the classroom, learning and socializing with their classmates and teachers. I think every reporter in this room who has a child understands the difference of a child going to school and having to learn from home. It matters. It matters in terms of their not just physical health, their mental health.”

Joe Biden does not care about your children. If it were up to him, your children would have been aborted before they were born — and this would have been paid for with “our” taxpayer dollars.

As for his kids, Hunter Biden never set foot in a public school. Joe Biden’s son attended Archmere Academy, then went to Georgetown University before getting his law degree at Yale. Joe Biden, who has been a full-time politician since 1971, made sure that his children were exempt from the policies he and his Democrat buddies impose on other people’s children.

Joe Biden hates you. He hates your children, too. Why? Beceause Joe Biden is a Democrat and Democrats hate America.

That’s why they are doing all they can to destroy our country.

‘These Republicans Are Dangerous’ and Other Stupid Media Election Reactions

Posted on | November 3, 2021 | Comments Off on ‘These Republicans Are Dangerous’ and Other Stupid Media Election Reactions

It’s official — everybody is now Hitler, or at least the 1.7 million or so Virginians who voted for Glenn Youngkin are “white supremacists,” according to the trauma-induced reactions of the liberal media, who responded to Tuesday’s results with predictable insanity.

Scarcely had the polls closed in Virginia when MSNBC’s Joy Reid uncorked this hysterical rant about RAAAAACIST Republicans:

[Democrats] have to be willing to vocalize that these Republicans are dangerous. That this isn’t a party that’s just another political party that disagrees with us on tax policy. That, at this point, they’re dangerous. They’re dangerous to our national security, because stoking that kind of soft white nationalism eventually leads to the hard-core stuff. It leads to the January 6th stuff, because if people are tolerant of it in your party, they’re tolerant of the soft racism, it’s a really short trip to get to the January 6th insurrectionist play.

Do these people even listen to what they’re saying? Are they capable of stepping back and evaluating their own overwrought feelings?

Keep in mind: Joy Reid is employed as a journalist — a profession whose practitioners once prided themselves on their objectivity. Yet here is Joy Reid, on national television, claiming that the Republican Party, as exemplified by Glenn Youngkin, is “dangerous to our national security.”

Youngkin is a former college basketball player who became a multimillionaire in the investment business. The idea that he, and the 1.7 million Virginians who voted for him, are national security threats is preposterous, and yet you watch this MSNBC video and all Joy Reid’s fellow panelists were nodding in agreement. Why? Because their Trump Derangement Syndrome is incurable, and they’ve spent the past 10 months inside an echo chamber where everyone is in the throes of this madness, ranting about the “insurrection” — that is to say, a bunch of angry GOP voters wandering around the Capitol taking selfies for their Instagram pages — as “an assault on our democracy,” a national crisis comparable to 9/11, Pearl Harbor and the Battle of Gettysburg.

Reid’s MSNBC colleague Nicolle Wallace — an operative of the Bush dynasty — claimed that the chief issue of the election didn’t even exist, that Critical Race Theory isn’t taught in Virginia schools:

Did I mention, by the way, that Fox News had more Election Night viewers than CNN and MSNBC combined? And this is part of the problem — inside the media echo chamber, where everybody believes these things, they have zero awareness of how small their audience actually is. They went into Tuesday night thinking that everyone shared their anti-Trump rage and their indignation about the Jan. 6 “insurrection,” and it was a shock to them to discover otherwise. The only way they can resolve the resulting cognitive dissonance is by telling themselves that these voters are dimwits who’ve been brainwashed with “misinformation” by the dreaded “right-wing media.”

By Wednesday morning, when I got up and switched the TV to CNN, the message-coordination memo from the White House had apparently arrived, and everyone was singing in unison from the same hymnal: The reason Democrats lost, according to the new narrative, is because Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema prevented passage of “Build Back Better.” What the American people want, said the CNN commentators, is for Congress to Get Things Done, i.e., to pass whatever multi-trillion-dollar boondoggle the Democrats can ram through on a party-line vote.

The next few months are going to be the kind of Interesting Times that the ancient orientals wished upon their enemies.

Virginia: ‘Too Close to Call’? BREAKING UPDATE: Youngkin Wins!

Posted on | November 2, 2021 | Comments Off on Virginia: ‘Too Close to Call’? BREAKING UPDATE: Youngkin Wins!

UPDATE 12:55 a.m. ET Wednesday: Glenn Youngkin wins Virginia!

*** PREVIOUSLY (7:14 p.m. ET) ***

Tonight I’m watching CNN (so you don’t have to) and they’re trying to sell the Virginia gubernatorial election as a “toss-up,” but they just reported their own exit-poll results which look very bad for Democrat Terry McAuliffe. We shall see what happens.

UPDATE 7:40 p.m.: Official totals as of 7:30 p.m. ET:

Youngkin …….. 168,239 (55.93%)
McAuliffe ……. 130,337 (43.33%)

With about 12% of precincts reporting, this is good news.

UPDATE 8 p.m. ET: Official totals as of 7:50 p.m. ET:

Youngkin …….. 457,620 (58.34%)
McAuliffe ……. 321,315 (40.96%)

About 31% of precincts reporting, and this is even better news, because Youngkin’s lead appears to be widening as the evening goes on.

UPDATE 8:10 p.m. ET: Official totals as of 8 p.m. ET:

Youngkin …….. 608,574 (57.02%)
McAuliffe ……. 451,192 (42.27%)

About 40% of precincts now reporting, and it continues to look encouraging for Youngkin. CNN’s John King was just pointing out higher-than-usual turnout in some rural “red” counties. Fingers crossed.

UPDATE 8:15 p.m. ET: Official totals as of 8:10 p.m. ET:

Youngkin …….. 709,999 (57.04%)
McAuliffe ……. 525,854 (42.24%)

About 46% of precincts now reporting. It is expected there will be about 3 million votes cast in Virginia, and we still have less than half the vote, so we can be cautiously optimistic, with the emphasis on “cautiously.” The final vote is probably going to be very close.

UPDATE 8:30 p.m. ET: Official totals as of 8:20 p.m. ET:

Youngkin …….. 794,650 (56.88%)
McAuliffe ……. 592,389 (42.40%)

About 52% of precincts now reporting. Still looking good, but remember that if there will be about 3 million total votes, the winner will have to get at least 1.5 million, so there’s a long way to go.

UPDATE 9 p.m. ET: Official totals as of 8:50 p.m. ET:

Youngkin …….. 1,071,663 (54.93%)
McAuliffe ……. 865,345 (44.36%)

About 68% of precincts now reporting. Again, to point out the simple math, if we estimate a final vote total around 3 million, McAuliffe would have to get nearly 70% of the remaining votes to win. Which is theoretically possible, of course, if Democrats resort to the usual tricks of dumping in truckloads of “extra” ballots at 3 a.m.

UPDATE 9:25 p.m. ET: I’ve switched the TV to MSNBC, where Nicolle Wallace is on the verge of tears. Official totals as of 9:20 p.m. ET:

Youngkin …….. 1,246,500 (54.21%)
McAuliffe ……. 1,036,170 (45.06%)

About 78% of precincts now reporting. Strong turnout in rural Virginia, plus “flipping” a few key suburban areas, appears to have yielded a victory for (alleged right-wing Donald Trump puppet) Glenn Youngkin.

UPDATE 9:30 p.m. ET: If my arithmetic is correct, and the estimate of about 3 million total votes in Virginia is also correct, then Youngkin only needs to get about 35% of the remaining vote to win.

UPDATE 9:35 p.m. ET: The meltdown on MSNBC is hysterical. Watch Nicolle Wallace go on about “The Big Lie” and the “deadly insurrection” of January 6, as if ordinary voters in Roanoke and Newport News are as obsessed with that as the people in the liberal media echo chamber:

Nicolle’s in the Guyana jungle, drinking the Kool-Aid.

UPDATE 11:10 p.m. ET: Official totals as of 11 p.m. ET:

Youngkin …….. 1,545,345 (51.27%)
McAuliffe ……. 1,444,933 (47.94%)

About 92% of precincts now reporting. Everybody knows Youngkin has won, but the networks continue the “too close to call” charade.

(Hat-tip: Instapundit.) Every liberal on Twitter is now whining about Critical Race Theory and “racist” white voters.

UPDATE 11:35 p.m. ET: Official totals as of 11:30 p.m. ET:

Youngkin …….. 1,567,817 (51.16%)
McAuliffe ……. 1,472,945 (48.06%)

About 94% of precincts now reporting. Probably going to be tomorrow before the networks finally admit Youngkin won Virginia.

Oh, by the way, some Republican you never heard of before is currently leading Democrat Gov. Phil Murphy in New Jersey.
