A Word of Advice to You Wokerati

Oh dear oh dear. Yesterday on CNN with Jake Tapper House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said, of President Trump, that "his denial at the beginning was deadly" and that as he "fiddles, people are dying."

Oh dear, Speaker Pelosi.

Denial? You mean when he shut down travel from China on Janary 31 and "everybody" called him a racist or a xenophobe?

Fiddles? You mean to get direct flights of masks and stuff from China as The New York Times reports?
A commercial aircraft carrying 80 tons of gloves, masks, gowns and other medical supplies from Shanghai touched down in New York on Sunday, the first of 22 scheduled flights that White House officials say will funnel much-needed goods to the United States by early April as it battles the world’s largest coronavirus outbreak.
Or maybe you chaps are thinking of President Trump's reckless endorsement of the choroquinine drugs for use in fighting the CCP virus. So that two or three clueless Democratic governors issued warnings to doctors. Only now the FDA has endorsed the use of chloroquinine drugs.

Look, here's some advice to you wokeratis, activistesrevolutionistas, and progressives. Lay off the identity politics for a month or two. Because it doesn't play with the voters during a virus war when humans naturally respond to their basic instincts and rally behind the tribal leader that is charged with protecting them from danger.

Your identity politics is brilliant. It is a brilliant way of conducting politics and mobilizing marginalized, pre-civilized communities in the service of the progressive agenda. And I use the word "pre-civilized" advisedly, meaning people that have not yet learned how to wive and thrive in the city and its market economy.

Politics is division, and if you are in the political arena you need to hang your hat on some issue that divides people into "us" and "them." Humans are natural political fighters, squabbling over the least little thing.

But when there is a war on, then humans stop the squabbling and look for a leader to lead them to safety. Right now, whether you progs like it or not, that leader is President Trump.

When this whole CCP virus mess is over, then you chaps can go back to identity politics as usual. Maybe during the hiatus you chapettes will think of some cool new pejoratives with which to demoralize and cancel the opposition. After all, your racist-sexist-homophobe jag is getting a little stale, I'd say.

But I should warn you. President Trump is going to be making a big play for the minority vote in the next few weeks, and he is going to be telling them that he is their president too and that he cares about them just as much as any American.

So when this whole thing is over, and President Trump is reelected in November and the House returns to Republican control, you may find that the ground rules of political combat in these United States have undergone a sea change.

See, my line is that World War II united all the various European urban ethnic groups in the US into 100 percent Americans. Because? Because for a couple of years the politicians needed cannon fodder rather than political division. And because humans naturally unite in a war.

I suspect that something similar will happen as a result of the Great Virus War. Could be wrong, of course. You chaps managed to transmogrify President George W. Bush from a hero to an idiot in four short years, from the hero of 9/11 to the idiot of Hurricane Katrina.

Like I say. I could be wrong. But I wouldn't count on it, if I were you. It may only have taken four years to break the unity of 9/11. It took 20 years to break the unity of WWII with the Sixties and the Sixties Kidz. I'd say the unity of the Great Virus War will last longer than four years but less than 20 years.

Or, of course, President Trump may effect a fundamental transformation of American politics and make the Republican Party into the Commoner Party of all races and genders, leaving the Democratic Party as the party of the rich educated wokerati and the poor helpless victims. And then you guys would really be in trouble.

But who knows?
