CNN host tells Democrats to reject the elitists in their party and stop behaving like a cult

[JGalt]

Every once in awhile someone on CNN admits the truth. Not that I regularly watch them, but this does show that Trump's winning the election has caused some Democrats to step back and take a look at themselves.

CNN host tells Democrats that party is dominated by 'elites' who risk 'groupthink'​

"CNN host Abby Phillip called on the Democratic Party to reject "groupthink" and allow for viewpoints to be heard, especially in news media and in elite circles like the Ivy League.

"You can create interesting content that is not safe," Phillip said in a panel at Harvard Kennedy School, first noted by Mediaite. "We've had some moments that are not comfortable happen at the table."

Phillip, a graduate of Harvard University, said that elites, especially in the Democratic Party, increasingly only build consensus in conversations with each other.

"I have observed that elites increasingly talk only to each other and come to believe that because there is consensus among them that that consensus is shared broadly and there are not enough voices that are confident enough to disagree and to present alternatives," Phillip said.

"We as a society need to find better ways to uplift divergent voices. Otherwise, we will be victims of groupthink," she continued.

Phillip also directly referenced an influential "activist class" in the Democratic Party.

"And there is an activist class, and this is particularly acute in the Democratic Party right now, there is an activist class in the Democratic Party that is multiracial, multiethnic," Phillip said. "It is diverse, but it’s an activist class. And so because of that, they’re not able to see outside of that."

Phillip said that Republicans faced the "same fundamental issue" before President-elect Trump "broke them out of it."

"Democrats are in that place now where they have to break out of it," she said. "And I think it is a real problem. It’s not as simple as wokeness or whatever. It’s about people who are being incentivized to think about issues in a particular way. And usually it's that light switches either on or off. There’s no nuance because they’re activists. They’re paid to kind of be in this lane and if you’re somewhere in between, then what’s the point? But most people are not in one lane or another."

"There needs to be a greater understanding of that," Phillip said.

"There needs to be more courage among people to speak out and to voice diverging opinions," she added. "Otherwise, you know, I think it’s a I think it’s a real issue, and it’s not just the Ivy League. I think it’s elitism in general."

It was a Moral Panic. I didn't think it could last---I started to wonder. And like many things, the demise happened slowly, and then all at once.

I have said for years that, looking back, the early 21st century will read to historians and history buffs like the Puritanical Moral Panic of the Victorian Age, which was a backlash to the debauchery of the Gregorian Age. At peak, you had women wearing chastity belts (with keys!) and lacing their corsets so tight they misplaced organs.

I'm convinced that the Puritanism of the early 21st century through 2024 was a delayed reaction to the 60s; the 80s was meant to be a corrective to the 60s, but didn't "stick". Enter the 21st Century Puritans with the micro-aggressions and safe spaces.

Never, ever let them run and never let them forget. We were here. We remember.

The Democratic Party is deeply divided.

Never, ever let them run and never let them forget. We were here. We remember.

By and large the so called historians have redefined much of history for nefarious reasons. For centuries and we ourselves have been and in many ways, still in the dark about a lot.

For instance, just in recent history and has been going on for close to 100 years, we are led to believe (and the entire left and many on the right) believe Christopher Columbus was a slave owning genocidal monster. Statues being taken down on and on.

In actuality there is hardly a thing stating Columbus mistreated Natives. There is one book suggesting it and that book was written by a political rival. No other documentation of any kind suggests that and in fact all other documentation by actual witnesses say the opposite.

Here is an example of a brainwashed hypnotized leftist arrogant passive aggressive COLLEGE PROFESSOR being destroyed about the TRUTHS of Columbus



Next week we'll be listening to the left about Thanksgiving being.......wait for it.....wait for it.........RACIST RACISM RACIST RACISM RACIST RACISM.

When it was actually about Natives and Europeans breaking bread and meeting each other. No wars. Just meeting and eating.

To the left, all whites should be eliminated. The left believe blacks are the only ones to ever be slaves. They believe whites are the only ones to ever enslave people and only people of another color.

Yes they believe whites kidnapped the millions of blacks with nets and dragged them here.


Yes they think that and it's college professors and brainwashed "historians" that teach these children. Like that loser professor in that video.

Also, real historians are rejected. Like Mike Knowles or Dinesh Dsouza. They are railroaded and framed and dismissed.

That's just going to drive them more deeply into denial and make them do it more.

IMHO he got to the root of the problem when he says:

"And there is an activist class, and this is particularly acute in the Democratic Party right now, there is an activist class in the Democratic Party that is multiracial, multiethnic," Phillip said. "It is diverse, but it’s an activist class. And so because of that, they’re not able to see outside of that."

The Democrat party is letting its "activist class" speak on its behalf and that "activist class" is making them all look like insane @ssholes. It's like letting senile, drunk, old Uncle Joe speak to the public on behalf of your family, the perception isn't likely to turn out favorably.

Democrats do yourselves a favor, take your activists out behind the woodshed and bury them.

The below thread was buried for no reason. The 'activist' cult is a contagion. It trickles down to the trivial, to the miniscule, to the lowest levels. Give a dim the least little bit of power and they will abuse it. Every time.

Do we know why? Yes, we do. But sometimes it's best to just not talk about it. Meanwhile, you'll hear about this in the future. Believe it....

This is underscored by election maps that show that blue areas are almost exclusively either cities or college towns.

This is underscored by election maps that show that blue areas are almost exclusively either cities or college towns.

There are no 'Blue States' only Blue Cities. Maybe The People's Republic of Taxachusetts could be an exception. There hasn't been a Republican Congressman from that shithole since 1992. 32 years. The criminal FILTH of the DNC has that Shithole State wrapped up tighter than Elizabeth Warren's musty old snatch.

But look elsewhere, including Kaliphony and there are plenty of Red Areas. Most of it, geographically.

Where you have Cities, you have crime, mental illness and the DNC. They're all connected to the other

The Dem cult will stop being a cult? Yeah like that will happen. Dems have brainwashed millions into believing their BS.
