The LA Times Calls Democrats Uncool "Hall Monitors"

[SweetSue92]

I have been saying this for some time, but to see the culture shift in real time is amazing. You know who especially hates the shaming, clucking, finger-wagging Democrats?

The kids. Gen Z. Hate them. Here even the LA Times admits this.

No one but no one but no one deserves it more. It's fundamentally uncool to nag people within an inch of their lives.

Democrats, enjoy your status of deeply uncool and your TDS. You have earned it.

Because yes, the Democratic brand is cooked. Worse: It’s lame. People used to think the party was cool (or at least cool-adjacent). They had Barack Obama, George Clooney and a monopoly on cultural capital. Now they have the burden of being the “adult” party (and not the naughty kind). Adults pay taxes and send follow-up emails.

Democrats, amazingly, have become the hall monitors of American politics. And what do they have to show for taking on this responsibility?

Meanwhile, the GOP — formerly the domain of Dockers dads, pious prudes and Young Republicans — pulled off the unthinkable. They became the chaos agents. The punk rockers. The party of middle fingers. The reversal has been astonishing.....

The problem? Cool doesn’t work when it’s forced. Ask any middle schooler (I’ve got two). When today’s Democrats lean too far into their edgy side, it doesn’t look like an organic vibe shift — it looks like panic in skinny jeans. “We’re raw now! We clap back! We vibe with Gen Z!” Yeah, sure. Right after the PAC luncheon and before the panel discussion on infrastructure reform.

Contributor: Democrats, please stop trying to be cool

Under Trump, Democrats have been forced to become the adult in the room. Overcompensating is even worse.

People want liberty and the support of a legal document such as your Constitution.

They don't want to be controlled and bombarded with poor policies designed to help a nepotistic government with eyes on a future kakistocracy.

The Dems made virtue signaling a religion.
Exactly like a religion, down to wearing accessories as badges to show their belief.
Down to judging others because they are not in the faith.

If memory serves the LA Times was the only major news rag that got Trump's first win right.

The younger generation will NEVER FORGET that the demented LEFT shut them down for their COVID PLANDEMIC. The demented LEFT took away YEARS of their formative lives. They were FORCED to get injected with experimental potions. They were robbed of their education.
The will NEVER FORGET what the demented LEFT did to them.....

And a terrible religion, one based on blaming and shaming

Trump was president. I was shut down by Republican governors Justice and DeWine.

No, Ms.Contrary-pants, they know who LOCKED THEM DOWN. It wasn't Trump, and it wasn't Republicans.
They KNOW....

Correct .
But very polite and charitable .

How about a sub -species group which has been entrained to become effective mutations -- Mutants ?

Possibly in the same way that the "Religion Gene" is identified and then activated .

So , we are watching a permanent change in individuals who are pushed into Mass FormationPsychosis which is cemented into their personalities by daily message reinforcement .

Effectively they become the Zomby Mutants .
See USMB for several models to catch and destroy .

DeWine is as close to a democrat as a republican can get. And Amy Acton is a democrat. He took all his cues from her.

I predict she will get her ass handed to her by Vivek, who will make an excellent governor. Why would the democrats run her? People disliked her immensely because she was in charge during covid and kept us locked down for way too long. .

When those Gen Z find themselves without jobs, they aren't going to think Trump is so cool.

DeWine was in charge. DeWine should be in prison.

The lockdowns were implemented at the State level.

The LA Times did not endorse Harris and are trying to make an honest effort at being fair and balanced. I hope they succeed.
