Last Thursday, Democrat mouthpiece The Washington Post carried a piece by Fareed Zakaria with a headline that read, "Forget Pronouns: Democrats need to become the party of building things".
Zakaria who is a known Democrat sympathizer and hosts a
weekend show on CNN called issued a stark warning to the Democrats.
Zakaria referred to serious issues that plague the US
including the crumbling infrastructure, a fragile economy, and social problems.
Zakaria conceded that "The Democratic Party has moved
left, that it is out of sync with Americans” and that “it needs to correct
course."
Zakaria cited journalist David Leonhardt’s analysis
of a New York Times poll that “Democrats — both
politicians and voters, seem more focused on divisive cultural issues than on
most Americans’ everyday concerns, like inflation."
Zakaria added that "Democrats have become paralyzed by
their own ideas and interest groups, and seems able to break through”
Zakaria warned the Democrats that the GOP leaders such as
President Trump are "clever at weaponizing the words of a few left-wing Democrats
and branding them as the face of the party."
Zakaria concluded his piece by cautioning the Democrats that
“This is not a perception problem. It is a real problem. Democrats need to once
more become the party that gets stuff done, builds things, and makes government
work for people. That’s a lot more important to most Americans than using the
right pronouns."
The piece proved how panic-stricken the Democrats are not just
about the midterms but their overall prospects in 2024.
Zakaria tweeted about his article with a caption
that “getting stuff done” is “a lot more important to most Americans than using
the right pronouns.”

The mention of the word "pronouns" in the piece
launched a thousand outrages among the woke mob.
Leading the mob was Chasten Buttigieg, husband of
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg

Buttigieg said that the "democrats can walk and chew
gum," he said. "We can fix roads and build bridges while also making
it a little easier to go about your life."

Zakaria pleaded with Buttigieg that only “against giving
Republicans an easy way to demagogue.”

Slate and the New York Times columnist Elizabeth Spiers, who
lists the pronouns "she/her" in her Twitter bio accused Zakaria of
“parroting a transphobic GOP talking point”

By Friday evening the WaPo altered its headline to
"Democrats need to become the party of building things" and the
mention of pronouns was removed. While the contents of the article remain as
if, don’t be too surprised if there are either edits to the text or a lengthy
footnote added, or both.
It was ironic that the woke mob that attacked Zakaria with
myriad pejorative epithets actually proved his point that the modern Democrats
remain so focused on the trivial of a few that they disregard the crucial and
the vital of all.
So why did WaPo capitulate before the mob so easily?
The Washington Post has over the years developed a loyal
subscriber base who read the paper to have the biases confirmed. The WaPo is
now an organization of the Democrats for the Democrats and by the Democrats.
The base also demands total adherence to the group think.
Questions, slight deviations, or doubts, however insightful and subtle they may
be, are always unwelcomed. There is a complete consensus among every employee
of the WaPo on the issues. It almost appears like a totalitarian cult.
Early this year, Veteran newsman Ted Koppel rightly called out
the news media
outlets such as the WaPo and the NYT for their brazen bias. But
the cults instead ridiculed Koppel for his factual diagnosis.
Matters have deteriorated to such an extent that fellow
liberals such as Zakaria are slammed as a bigot for stating the obvious for the
well-being of the party.
The WaPo's felt compelled to change their headline because
they dare not cause disharmony in an echo chamber and run the risk of backlash
and cancellation of subscriptions.
The same paper never felt compelled to issue retractions or
make changes to the many spurious stories that carried about President Trump
The New York Times also capitulated before an online mob a few
years back to alter their
headline not once but twice for an already anti-Trump story. The mob
was outraged that their headline wasn't vicious and hateful enough.
This is because both the NYT and the WaPo know their subscribers
would rather read a surfeit of spurious articles that confirms their bias
instead of objective reports that present inconvenient facts.
This isn’t only about a biased and corrupt news media, there
are serious consequences for the future of democracy
It is most troubling for a democracy when a section of the
public prefers to bury themselves deep in echo chambers and remain impervious to
facts and averse to differing perspectives.
A democracy needs well-informed voters to elect
representatives based on their merit and not just a brainwashed cult that votes
for anybody with ‘D’ after their name.
The relentless brainwashing has worked, the Democrats now have permanent
control of two major states of New York and California, irrespective of performance. The result is the likes
of AOC and Gavin Newsom being elected.
The long-term goal is to implement what they have archived in
New York and California, nationally i.e. brainwash enough voters to have permanent control over all branches of government irrespective of their
performance.
It is essential that this cult isn’t allowed to grow.
