ABE GREENWALD: Welcome to Woke 2.

It’s now clear that the fiercest elements have indeed come out on top. The revolution is no longer dominated by the ideas of featherweight academics such as Ibram X. Kendi and Robin DiAngelo. All that redemptive white fragility and anti-racism and intersectionality was sundered in a flash after October 7, 2023. A few bestselling authors didn’t stand a chance against the Marxist-jihadist alliance that swooped in with its genocidal chants and terrorist regalia. Woke 2, if we’re going to call it that, is in the hands of Communists and Islamists.

The word “crazy” is inadequate to the moment—when New York City’s mayor doxes thousands of innocent people; when someone who worked in a former al-Qaeda front group is a Democratic congressional nominee in New Jersey; when leading candidates around the country belong to a political party that wants to abolish national borders, the Senate, the presidency, and Israel; when CEOs are gunned down on the streets, and when elected Democrats stage run-ins with Jews in the West Bank.

Yes, that’s the other part of my warning that has also come to pass. The non-revolutionary Democratic establishment has thrown in with the leaders of Woke 2. They’ll flock to the revolution’s winners, whoever they may be. Having distanced themselves from defunding the police, pronoun enforcement, and “gender-affirming care,” they now rail against Jewish money, Jewish influence, and the Jewish state.

AOC is denouncing Woke 1 because crazy really is a political loser. But evil? Evil’s got legs.

Sadly, I think we may be forced to see them: Alert: The Brocialists Are Dandymaxxing.
