Title: They're not Karens, they're AWFULs!
Post by: unite for individuality on January 28, 2024, 03:12:30 am
Erick Erickson has on his website an article inspired by one of his listeners,
who came up with the acronym AWFUL - Affluent White Female Urban Liberals.
AWFULs are the only demographic among which the "Democratic" Party has a lead.
All other demographics reject the "Democrats" in varying proportions.
The vast majority of AWFULs were born into wealth and privilege,
and so assume that they are superior to everyone else.

They assert their "superiority" by helping the "Democratic" Party
seize as much power as possible,
so they can force their "morality" on everyone else.
Their "morality" includes such things as
forcing girls to compete against boys in girls' sports,
forcing poor people to buy electric vehicles, which are unaffordable.
They boast that "we believe in science"
when they actually don't know science from a hole in the ground!

They promote any policy that gives more power and status to their own class,
regardless of the cost and devastation it inflicts on everyone else.
They assume for themselves the authority to scold everyone they meet in public
who is not complying with the AWFULs' idiotic dogmas.

Myself, I've never liked calling self-righteous, arrogant harpies "Karens"
because I've known some women named Karen who were really nice.
If you haven't, I suggest you read about
and listen to the music of Karen Carpenter, for example.

It would be great for everyone in the conservative movement use this term regularly.
The left constantly lies by calling things what they are not.
We should tell the truth by calling things what they are!

There are plenty (= too many) black, Hispanic, east Asian, and south Asian "Karens" as well. And male "Karens" as well as female.
