"Dark woke" is woke, but they're not like the polite, reasonable, articulate woke Democrats who by the way don't exist and never have existed.

"Dark woke" is a strategy of being foul-mouthed, puerile, dogmatic, angry, and threatening in pursuit of wokeness -- also known as the standard method of antifa intimidation the woke thugs have always deployed.

But the New York Times says this is entirely new, and you should believe them, because they've gotten every major story of the past ten years completely wrong.

They're due.

As liberals try to get their groove back, some party insiders say Democratic politicians have been encouraged to embrace a new form of combative rhetoric aimed at winning back voters who have responded to President Trump's no-holds-barred version of politics.

It's an attempt to step outside the bounds of the political correctness that Republicans have accused Democrats of establishing. And it requires being crass but discerning, rude but only to a point.

Online, it has a name: "Dark woke."

Oh, shitlib antifa "progressives" are going to be nasty and vile?

What an unexpected fresh continuation of what they've been doing for fifty years.

The avatar for this exiting old non-development is the foul-mouthed ratchet thot Jasmine Crockett. She is, as garrett would say, snatched.

Ms. Crockett's moment became a meme. It was printed on T-shirts. It got her an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel. And now, Democratic strategists say, it has become a perfect example of "dark woke."

The reach of Ms. Crockett's comment seemed to show that Democratic clapbacks could permeate into cultural spaces, giving the leaders who delivered them new platforms to spread their ideas. To a new, younger generation of Democratic staffers, this was exactly the link they had seen their opponents exploiting for years.

"All these new staffers, we grew up seeing extremely vile content overflowing from right-wing spaces into regular spaces," said Caleb Brock, 23, the director of digital strategy for Representative Ro Khanna, Democrat of California. "We're ready to combat that by any means necessary."

This is the same party that tried to sell you on the idea that they are all about "joy" and love and unity just six months ago.

Now they're all cursing like second graders who just found out that they won't be thrown in jail for saying the f-word.

Democrats are all saying "shit" and "fuck" now, not just in spontaneous moments but in scripted, filmed coordinated messaging campaigns.

It's so bad that I've almost completely stopped cursing. I don't want to sound like Chuck Schumer or Elizabeth Warren.

They've made profanity profane again.

Here's some Dark Woke from the guy who jammed his tongue into his horrified wife's mouth at his DNC nomination, and then divorced her a couple of years later to bang other women: Trump really is Hitler, says Al Gore.

Former Vice President Al Gore sparked outrage Monday by likening President Donald Trump's administration to Adolf Hitler's Nazi regime, invoking the 1930s Third Reich in an aggressive climate change address. Gore made the incendiary comparison during San Francisco's Climate Week, accusing Trump of manipulating truth to advance authoritarian goals.

Key Details:

Al Gore stated the Trump administration is "insisting on trying to create their own preferred version of reality," likening the tactic to Nazi propaganda in pre-WWII Germany.

The former vice president quoted German philosophers to argue Trump's approach parallels fascist strategies that prioritized power over truth.

Gore's speech was part of a broader pattern of attacks from high-profile Democrats, including Obama, Harris, and Clinton, condemning Trump's leadership and constitutional approach.

Diving Deeper:

During his 25-minute speech at the kickoff of San Francisco's Climate Week, Gore doubled down on divisive rhetoric by comparing President Trump's administration to the Nazi regime of Adolf Hitler. Though Gore prefaced his remarks by acknowledging the unique evil of Nazi Germany, he argued there are "important lessons" to be drawn from the era's descent into authoritarianism.

He cited German philosopher Theodor Adorno, quoting, "the conversion of all questions of truth into questions of power," and claimed that the Trump White House is engaging in a similar distortion of reality. Gore's critique centered around the Trump administration's bold rejection of left-wing climate alarmism, which he characterized as a war on truth itself.

...

Gore's remarks come as prominent Democrats escalate their public criticism of Trump. Barack Obama recently condemned federal pressure on universities and what he described as threats to free speech. Kamala Harris suggested the Trump administration is operating outside constitutional bounds, and Hillary Clinton warned of Trump "squandering America's strength."

For Gore, the underlying message was that Donald Trump represents an authoritarian threat to democracy and science--one that must be resisted with aggressive climate action. He invoked religious and civil rights leaders, including Martin Luther King, Jr. and Pope Francis, to draw moral weight to his message. Gore ended by accusing Trump of exploiting immigration and "xenophobia" to gain power--before warning the crowd, "Our constitution... is intended to protect us against a threat identical to Donald Trump."
