Ayanna Pressley hears voices
But only those voices she wants to hear:
Like Pressley, the race-obsessed left thinks of people only insofar as they fit into racial- and gender- and sexual-orientation-based categories. You are your category; you are not an individual made of many facets.
And the Party wants to take from each according to his/her category. Like a colony of ants:
Ants form colonies that range in size from a few dozen predatory individuals living in small natural cavities to highly organised colonies that may occupy large territories and consist of millions of individuals. Larger colonies consist of various castes of sterile, wingless females, most of which are workers (ergates), as well as soldiers (dinergates) and other specialised groups. Nearly all ant colonies also have some fertile males called “drones” (aner) and one or more fertile females called “queens” (gynes). The colonies are described as superorganisms because the ants appear to operate as a unified entity, collectively working together to support the colony.
And who determines what is a “brown voice,” a “black voice,” a “Muslim voice,” or a “queer voice” (I assume we also might have feminist voices and transgender voices, but no other voices allowed)? Why, august leaders like Pressley, that’s who.
If I were a Democrat at this point I would run for the hills. But then again, I once was a Democrat and I already ran for the hills. My guess, however, is that most Democrats will probably never see that video of Pressley or read about her speech. And some, if they do, will probably nod their heads in agreement. After all, isn’t Pressley just saying that the Party wants people practiced in the art of goodthink, who understand how to extract full value from the history of oppression of the group of which they are members?
Which brings us to this [emphasis mine]:
REPORTER: Do you think you’re winning this political fight?
TRUMP: I do think I’m winning the political fight?
REPORTER: Why?
TRUMP: I think I’m winning it by a lot.
REPORTER: Why?
TRUMP: I think that they are not espousing the view of our country. The four Congresswomen. I think that they’ve said horrible things that the press doesn’t cover. I think you should try covering it.
When you look at some of the things they’ve said, they’re unthinkable. If somebody else or me or anybody else said things like that, eh, it would be historic. So you ought to look at some of the horrible statements because there’s never been statements like that.
Don’t sit on a hot stove till the press features what these women actually say, such as Pressley’s remarks to Net Roots. And I would add the following to what Trump said to that reporter: So I challenge you to show Pressley’s remarks at Net Roots about what sort of voices they want and don’t want. Show it over and over in your broadcasts, and see what people think. Are you going to do that?
Also, here’s a black voice Pressley probably won’t want to hear:
Can someone ask #AyannaPressley how a Black voice sounds?
Here’s the latest edition of #blackfacesblackvoices

Everyone in politics seems to be channeling something or another lately.
Some even do that on their days off.
These college kids these days with their damned ouija boards and spells and twitter. I do not think any reasonable ancestor would sit for that.
Of course, lineage can be a bit sketchy from time to time.
I suspect there are tons of Democrats caught between their commonsense and their hatred of Trump.
I’ve not found it hard to scratch liberals on PC stuff and they will look right then left to make sure they won’t be overheard*, then shake their heads and whisper their concerns about saying the wrong thing and getting clobbered.
Maybe Trump’s strategy will be to bring the fire down on the Squad and its supporters until a month before the election, then become the Great Unifier to catch some of those folks. Might work.
*That’s the setup to a meta-racist-joke:
How do all racist jokes start?
First, the person telling the joke looks right, then left.
Things that require enforcement by the thought police: everything.
It says a lot about Democrats today that this kind of outrageous racially-based profiling doesn’t draw much comment. It’s normal for them. No one is surprised.

Kate: I take your point but would add that many “normal” Democrats are as afraid as conservatives to speak out against this rampant reverse-bigotry.
“… or a “queer voice” (I assume we also might have feminist voices and transgender voices, but no other voices allowed)?”
In leftist cultural Marxist jargon, ‘queer’ doesn’t mean ‘homosexual’, it means *anything* which works to devalue and destroy that which is normal with respect to sex ans sexuality.
Don’t get cocky and all that, but I think Trump is looking better and better for 2020.
His tweet stuff with the Squad is working IMO. It’s like a weird flip on the story of LBJ accusing an opponent of sex with pigs. His campaign manager tells LBJ he can’t say that because it isn’t true. LBJ responds, “Of course it isn’t true. I just want to make him deny it.”
However, when it comes to Pelosi and the Squad, the punch line is, “I just want to make her admit it.”
It’s not an exact analogy.
