If there is one thing that Democrats are fantastic at, it is not learning from their mistakes.

The party’s brand of “wokeness” is seen by many, including moderate Democrats, as being a massive reason for the drubbing it took in the 2024 elections, but that is not stopping them from attempting to rebrand “woke” to combat President Donald Trump.

A new report from the New York Times said that the Democrats want to rebrand with a “dark woke,” which stemmed from online memes in which liberals fantasized about the suffering of Trump supporters, Fox News reported.

“Republicans have essentially put Democrats in a respectability prison,” Communications Consultant Bhavik Lathia, a digital director for the Wisconsin Democratic Party, said to the New York Times on Monday. “There is an extreme imbalance in strategy that allows Republicans to say stuff that really grabs voters’ attention, where we’re stuck saying boring pablum. I see this as a strategic shift within Democratic messaging — I’m a big fan of ‘dark woke.’”

An example of “dark woke” that The Times cited was when Texas Democrat Rep. Jasmine Crockett referred to Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene as a “bleached-blonde, bad-built, butch body.”

The Democrats apparently believe this is a winning strategy as many are advising others in the party to follow Rep. Crockett’s lead to use “a new form of combative rhetoric aimed at winning back voters who have responded to President Trump’s no-holds-barred version of politics.”

Voters respond to authenticity and it is yet to be seen if being an inauthentic version of Democrat Trump is going to work for them.

But some Democrats have started using profanity when they speak in an attempt to mimic the president’s style.

“[C]ommunications consultants for Democratic politicians have encouraged — or allowed — more swearing. Profanity, [Democratic strategist Tyson] Brody, 38, said, is often seen as a ‘shortcut to authenticity,’ though it can also be overused and backfire,” The Times said in its report.

“All these new staffers, we grew up seeing extremely vile content overflowing from right-wing spaces into regular spaces,” California Democrat Rep. Ro Khanna’s director of digital strategy,  Caleb Brock, said to the Times. “We’re ready to combat that by any means necessary.”
