A prominent figure involved in Kamala Harris' failed presidential campaign acknowledged that the left was “losing the culture wars” and cited Wakeism as a key factor, but also criticized too much Wake culture. He seemed hesitant.
Deputy campaign manager Quentin Fawkes confirmed the remarks on the latest episode of “Pod Save America,” in which several campaign advisers provide a post-mortem of Harris' failed bid for the White House.
In the podcast, Fulks said politics and culture are “merging in a way we've never seen before,” but the left's cancel culture is preventing Democrats from having an open discussion about it. he added.
“Democrats are feeding off of us at a very high level. And until that stops, we won't be able to address much of what we have to say. And when it comes to the masculinity part. “Men don't like people who apologize,” he said. He later added, “Trump doesn't apologize. If he says something, he means it, and his party stands by him and won't make him take it back, and he won't apologize for anything like that.” There is no infrastructure. We are also being criticized online.”
He further added: Republicans have a well-coordinated, well-focused, well-invested echo chamber outside of where they campaign. And it's online. It resonates through TikTok. It resonates throughout the culture. ”
“Cultural dynamics are at play in politics today, and they're converging like we've never seen before,” he said.
Dan Pfeiffer, a former aide to President Obama, chimed in: “And we're losing the culture war.”
“And we're losing our warm culture,” Fulks said. “And whatever it is, woke person, whatever word you want to use, I'm not, you know, I'll leave it to someone else to define what any value is.”
Their frank confession is that the left has dominated for years, if not decades, thanks to its near-total control of Hollywood, Silicon Valley, the news media, academia, and other institutions. This marks a sharp reversal of the culture wars.
But President-elect Donald Trump's sweeping political return signals a decline, if not a complete rejection, of the establishment in favor of populist voices once branded as fringe.
As reported by Breitbart News, the Pod Save America episode featured a surprising exchange in which senior advisers who worked on Kamala Harris' campaign admitted the vice president had no path to victory. .
The campaign's senior adviser, David Plouffe, even said he was surprised when the polls showed Harris in the lead, saying internal polling had shown that Harris never had a lead over Trump. I admitted it.
