The Democratic Party will be tempted to blame their recent crash and burn on the monument to national embarrassment that is Joe Biden, but that would be missing the wider picture, which is that most Americans find woke politics absolutely repulsive.

Just one month ago, few people believed that Republican Glenn Youngkin, a former business executive and newcomer to the political jungle, had any chance of beating Democrat Terry McAuliffe in Virginia’s high-stakes race for governor. But then McAuliffe laid his woke cards face up on the table and it was game over.

The revelatory moment came last month during the gubernatorial debate when the candidates were asked how much influence parents should have in their children’s education. Before revealing McAuliffe’s rather predictable answer (hint: he’s a woke liberal), it is important to note that school board meetings are no longer the monotonous cures for insomnia they once were. Rather, they have become major social events where parents confidently take the podium to harangue school officials over the progressive perversities now being taught in the classroom.

It is no secret that the U.S. public school system, in cahoots with powerful advocacy groups, like the Southern Poverty Law Center and the Open Society Foundation, has been stealthily incorporating teachings on Critical Race Theory, which postulates, in a nutshell, that white people are inherently and irreconcilably racist. And when schoolchildren are not being warned of the pint-sized supremacists in their midst, they are being instructed on more titillating topics, like how the biological differences between the sexes, undisputed since before Cro-Magnon times, is in fact nothing more than a social construct of our lacking imaginations. So instead of learning proper grammar and sentence structure – glaring signs of racism – students are now focused on knowing the correct pronoun for the approximate 75 varieties of gender out there.

Needless to say, the liberal dream weavers pushed the mindf**kery too far and Loudon County, Virginia exploded into a modern day civil war between Republicans and Democrats. In fact, so great was the backlash against the unabashed educators that the National School Boards Association addressed a letter to Joe Biden where they compared the agitated parents to “a form of domestic terrorism and hate crimes.” That shows how venal, weak-minded and thin-skinned the limpid left has become: it can’t even handle a dressing down by disgruntled soccer moms without calling in the Feds. The response by the establishment was no less pathetic.

I want to thank the Loudoun County school board. None of this would have been possible without you. Tonight’s result was your handiwork. Congratulations!

Instead of telling the teachers union to grow a proverbial pair and face the music, Attorney General Merrick B. Garland fell into full metal jacket mode, directing the FBI to meet with local law enforcement to determine how to open “lines of communication for threat reporting, assessment, and response.” Needless to say, that directive didn’t go down well with parents, or with Republican Senator Ted Cruz, especially considering that no acts of violence had been committed.

Here is where Terry McAuliffe put his political ambitions to pasture once and for all. With a degree of tone-deafness typically found only in nursing homes and CNN studios, the gubernatorial wannabe declared at the debates that, “I don’t think parents should be telling schools what they should teach.” At this point, Glenn Youngkin could have taken a long swig of Jack Daniels from a brown paper bag on stage and he still would have become governor.

On a cautionary side note, Republicans would be wise not to bank too much on Mr. Youngkin, who seems to be cut from the same pricey cloth as his Euro contemporary across the pond, French President Emmanuel Macron. Both of these relative newcomers to the political stage emerged from the murky world of finance – Youngkin from the Washington-based Carlyle Group, where George H.W. Bush Sr. had once served, impeccably, of course, as a senior advisor; Macron hails from Rothschild & Co. where he was an investment banker. I only mention the connection because my faith in the U.S. election system (and those held abroad) has been shaken to the point where it is difficult to imagine fair and honest elections, but rather shady selections in secret retreats – a bit like Eyes Wide Shut meets The Manchurian Candidate. But I digress.

Let’s be clear about something: the small and hugely overpublicized contingency of radical progressives, espousing Cultural Marxist claptrap, has little in common with America; that smack of reality does not seem to have hit the Democratic Party yet only because they have been deluded into believing that Joe Biden’s (still unexplained) victory over Donald Trump somehow legitimized their unhinged, un-American ideals. The fact is these people live in some phony facsimile of the country beamed into their living rooms each evening courtesy of the legacy media dinosaurs. Rather than taking their talking points from the detached talking heads of Lemon, Maddow and Cuomo, for example, the Democrats should have paid heed to time-tested political strategists, like James Carville.

In an interview with PBS NewsHour, the ‘Ragin’ Cajun’ nailed it when he blamed McAuliffe’s defeat on “stupid wokeness.”

“Don’t just look at Virginia and New Jersey [where the incumbent Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy narrowly defeated his Republican challenger, Jack Ciattarelli]. Look at Long Island, look at Buffalo, look at Minneapolis, even look at Seattle, Washington,” Carville railed, and not for the first time. “I mean, this ‘defund the police’ lunacy, this take Abraham Lincoln’s name off of schools. I mean — people see that.”

“Some of these people need to go to a ‘woke’ detox center or something,” he added. “They’re expressing a language that people just don’t use, and there’s backlash and a frustration at that.”

The irony here is that the Democrats never stopped talking about how Donald Trump alienated himself from the ‘suburban woman’ electorate, yet they have gone out of their way to do exactly the same thing with their woke insanity. Instead of trying to appease the progressive prima AOC donnas who have tarnished the Democratic brand name, perhaps irreparably, the Democrats would do well to consider what their radical turn to the left looks like for average Americans –the omnipotent soccer moms and dads. It’s easy to wager that for every lewd book that appears on school library shelves, and every new racist slander hurled at innocent folks, to every violent crime committed by a migrant crossing the border illegally, the Democrats lose considerable ground with their base.

The woke flag may be flying high inside of Democratic headquarters, but in towns and cities across America it looks every bit as ominous as the appearance of a Jolly Roger on the horizon. In short, the Democrats must ditch the woke, or they will, invariably, go broke.

Who decides what is taught in the public schools that are paid for with the tax dollars of the parents who send their children there?

By Patrick J. BUCHANAN

Virginia is a newly blue state, with a Democratic governor and two Democratic senators, that Joe Biden won by 10 points. Hence, former Gov. Terry McAuliffe was an early and solid favorite to regain the office he vacated in 2017. But if McAuliffe loses Tuesday, the defeat will be measured on the Richter scale.

For if he does lose, it will be because of an elitist belief McAuliffe blurted out during a debate with Republican rival Glenn Youngkin: “I’m not going to let parents come into schools and actually take books out and make their own decisions. … I don’t think parents should be telling schools what they should teach.”

Yet, during his own term as governor, one Virginia school district pulled copies of To Kill a Mockingbird and Huckleberry Finn out of the schools because of the books’ use of racial slurs.

What McAuliffe was saying was that the knowledge, truths, and beliefs imparted to children in public schools are to be determined by school officials and teachers alone. Parents have no role and should butt out.

One thing that is key to understanding Color Revolutions (CR) is that as it stands today they are always orchestrated by the West to make regime change in the Non-West due to their financial and nearly total media domination. No matter how many people label the Mainstream Media as “Dinosaur” or quote their terrible ratings, the 24 hour news cycle still creates the dominant narrative for current events in the public’s mind internationally, and this is why the Color Revolution tactic only works one way.

The Western Mainstream Media can turn any nobody politician\public figure into the legitimate leader of Country X overnight. No one knew who Guaido was on Monday, but the West was sure he was the only true voice of the Venezuelan people on Tuesday. The same goes for the overwhelming support for anyone opposed to Putin like Alexei Navalny, who if given the chance to run for President would surely get a low end single digit percentage.

The Mainstream Media can make heroes and villains abroad but this does not work in the opposite direction. When Jill Stein (a figure with the same relative level of popularity as Navalny if not more so) was thrown out of the 2016 debate when she tried to crash the party, no non-Western media could spin this into the catalyst for some sort of Color Revolution. If this would have happened in say Iran then calls for the overthrow of the government would be heard from TV screens and Facebook memes around the world.

Although the Russians are accused of meddling in the Yellow-Vest protests, there is simply not enough Moscow Media might to convince the French public that the Yellow vesters are the new legitimate power, wag that dog, and get a full scale Color Revolution completed. The French situation is a perfect breeding ground for a Color Revolution if it was in bad guy Country X. The level of protests are massive, police brutality is rampant and documented, and they even have a Color/symbol – their vests. All the ingredients are there but without being able to push the media narrative no CR can or will happen in France.

What this means is that for the foreseeable future the Multipolar non-Western World (Russia, China, Iran etc.) is always going to be on the defensive from CR tactics. There is however another major disadvantage that the Multipolar World has – the type of people who do go out to street protests are the type who support the Monopolar World.

The working masses of families with kids, the heartlanders across the globe, who are really the backbone of society are far too tired/busy to engage in Color Revolutions or protests of any kind, and when they do they are one off and utter failures. The actual people who are most likely to protest with ribbons because of vague complaints like a lack of “Democracy” or “freedom” are those emotional types with time on their hands and probably decent resources too.

Naive bourgeois victimhood-lifestyle teenagers and some hardcore professional activists are generally who you are going to find at CRs. The amount of people who are actual ideologies that push political agendas in their country are generally less than 1% of the population combined with trendy kids who want to feel like they are accomplishing something by chanting do not represent the will of the working-class majority. But as stated before the Mainstream Media can convince even simple folk in Country X that they do. And probably what is most important, the trendy people with free time are always inherently pro-Western. It is exactly the cosmopolitan urbanites in any country who are going to be pro-Western, farmers and factory workers usually won’t. The type of people who come out to a Color Revolution are the types who believe the US/EU hype, and are the willful useful idiots that the media needs to create its narrative.

And here is where the Virginia 2A protests come in. They, like the Yellow Vest protestors were made up of those toiling masses also known as the Silent Majority. The same Silent Majority which the Multipolar world wants to woo with calls for tradition, populism and national sovereignty. Meaning, that ideologically the Second Amendment crowd’s instincts are anti-Color Revolution even if they don’t know what that term means. They are the kind of folks who cherish America as an idea and as part of their identity. They want their traditions and culture to remain intact, meaning that this is really the forces that the leadership of Country X (that is under threat of Color Revolution) should use. This is a demonstration of just how strong the Silent Majority really is when it awakes from its slumber of fatigue.

The local government was terrified and declared a state of emergency even before the protest began and obviously, the SJW rats didn’t dare show their faces against hundreds of armed old school Americans. This show of force that didn’t use any particular force is a shining example of how strong the people the Multipolar Order supposedly loves, and we can see how much they could halt some kind of anti-American CR.

To an extent this is what happened in Venezuela when Maduro was able to successfully rally thousands of supporters to march. If in Caracas the media had footage of massed government troops on the move, beating people with clubs, it would have fed into Maduro’s downfall, but since the actual force that took over the streets were just working class normies in bright T-shirts there was not only to juicy footage to twist, the images proved to support Maduro’s legitimacy. The real winner of this situation was Maduro’s usage of the Silent Majority directly against the Color Revolutionaries. He showed a faith in his people, which is not felt in places like Russia or China. Despite the fact that the Multipolar World stands on the side of tradition on populism, the big two dominant forces in this movement do not let their populaces take action like Maduro was wise enough to allow.

If hordes of armed commoners like those at the Virginia protests showed up to the Maidan it would have never have succeeded. Instead in Ukraine they stayed home as 40,000 protestors decided the destiny of 40 million people. Although China is accused of sending thugs from the Mainland, if they were to send waves of semi-armed hillbillies into Hong Kong the issue would be resolved in a day. The simple fact is that those who are on the Multipolar side of today’s New Cold War, if given the chance to fight on the streets, will win that fight every time. They are the side with the most to lose, the most anger to vent, the most testosterone, the most love for their own way of life, and who suffer the most from Color Revolutions.

Maduro demonstrated that organizing the peasantry even with just their fists and improvised weapons, was enough to defeat years of Color Revolution prep, especially since his masses did not look at like soldiers in disguise. He had the legit support of countless thousands of normal people.  The Virginia 2A protest showed that the trendies who are the poster children of CR movements will go absolutely silent the second there is a threat of real violence. Antifa is happy to use their Black Block against one man in a MAGA hat but when it comes to actually dying for their beliefs they sit at home. Word warfare, Twitter terrorism and Media manipulation are the strengths of the Monopolar World, but ultimately the people that this system breeds are not willing to fight (in the direct literal sense) for their values and will lose through preemptive capitulation in the face of actual direct force.

If those who claim they are fighting for a Multipolar World Order do not have more faith in their populace then they will become Yanokoviches and not Maduros. Footage of government troops fighting protestors can spell doom for any leader, while the same direct action being taken by thousands of uniformless out-of-shape factory workers acting semi-independently feeds the Mainstream Media nothing and in fact strengthens one’s own legitimacy – it shows the people are on your side.

To be clear this is NOT a call for violence, in fact it is quite the opposite. Some of the most deadly events in human history have been Revolutions. Meaning, that if someone really cares about the lives of commoners they should not advocate for overthrowing governments, but for incremental change.

If the Maidan had been solved by rednecks smashing up the camps in Kiev, yes some people would have died, perhaps tens or hundreds at the most, but to date thousands have been killed and millions have suffered thanks to the successful Color Revolution of 2014. The war in the Donbass still continues many years on. Even if you loved the ideas the Yeltsin tried to push on Russia the fact is that the shattering of the Soviet Union caused millions of deaths, reform of the Soviet Union would have been far preferable from a humanitarian standpoint. If we think about the great revolutionary periods in human history, in France, Russia, China etc. they were all followed by grand scale violence and counter-revolutionary crackdown. Using the Silent Majority to block upcoming CR tactics is a far more humane solution than it may sound on the surface.

If the Multipolar World wants to survive it has to activate its Silent Majority to protect itself from Color Revolution tactics. It is ironically the populists who in many ways seem too terrified to allow their heartlanders to have the freedom to take action and fight for the motherland without a uniform and direct orders from on high.
