OPINION:
Sen. Elissa Slotkin, a Democrat from Michigan, is calling out her party for going “weak and woke,” saying it’s time for Dems to “f—-ing retake the flag,” adopt some “g—d—- Alpha energy,” and develop a “war plan” to “contain and defeat Donald Trump.”
Leave it to the gender-confused Democrats to leave it to a woman to be the party’s first to grow a pair.
That aside, Slotkin, a former CIA analyst, may in fact be the first Democrat in over a decade who makes sense — so much so that she sounds much more like a Republican than the normal whiny, petulant, transgender tapping, snowflake-sniffling, child sex grooming, rainbow T-shirt wearing type who make up the majority of today’s left.
She’s a Democrat, yes. And for that reason, and that reason alone, she’s wrong on about every major piece of policy that’s sprung from the political world in past years. But at least she’s not wearing one of those stupid pink p—— hats the left so loves, and taking to the streets with bricks purchased by a George Soros outfit and distributed among the Marxist sheep masses to throw at police cars.
At least she’s using her words, not her fists.
According to Politico, Slotkin is “road-testing” a batch of speeches she hopes will awaken her fellow party members to the errors of their ways so they’re better positioned come next election to win back the House and Senate.
Hope she loses — but on the way to losing, hope she awakens some Democrat voters out there to how weak and whiny and loser-y they’ve all become. A quieted and calmer Democrat voter is good for the whole nation, Republicans and Democrats alike, dontcha know.
Politico writes: “In the first of a series of speeches about the Democratic Party’s path out of the wilderness, the Michigan senator said she will span everything from strategy to tactics and tone, acknowledging public perception of the party as ‘weak and woke’ needs to change. She is urging Democrats to ‘f—-ing retake the flag’ with appeals to voters’ sense of patriotism, to adopt ‘the g—d—- Alpha energy’ of Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell and to embrace an ‘airing out’ of potential 2028 presidential candidates in a broadly contested primary. Slotkin’s description of the speech as a ‘war plan’ came in a recorded dry-runoff of remarks viewed by Politico. In an interview, she hedged on whether she would continue to call it that, saying ‘it’s a military-style operational plan.’ I don’t understand how to rally us into a coherent approach if we aren’t on the same page on where we’re going.”
On the heels of bumbling, mumbling Joe Biden and word salad Kamala Harris, a “coherent approach” for the Democrats would represent a significant win for the party.
And a Democrat Party that at long last recognizes how “weak and woke” its members have become, and seeks to adjust accordingly, would represent a significant win for all of America.
