NBC News' Capitol Hill correspondent Ali Vitali has
a new book out, "Electable: Why America Hasn't Put a Woman in the White
House...Yet." In it she says that Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren of
Massachusetts claimed that many people told her during the 2020 presidential primary campaign that they
would have voted for her except for her lack of a penis.
(Possibly even more hilariously, Warren argued that she could have beaten then-President
Donald Trump in the general election.)
Vitali wrote: We’d talked about the dynamics of Iowa, her
competitors, and the pressure she put on
herself not “to screw this up.” But here and now she offered her plainest view
of the landscape yet: “Everyone comes up to me and says, ‘I would vote for you,
if you had a penis.’”
That may be more preposterous
than Warren’s long-time claim that she was of native American descent. Not only
does “everyone” not talk like that, no one does. If anything, a handful of
folks might be dumb enough to come up to her—or another female candidate-- and
say, “You know, I would vote for you, if you were a man.” But even that is
doubtful. The fact that Warren is a woman is not going to matter to someone who
likes her policies. And no one is going to walk up to her and say, “I would
vote for you, if you had a penis.”
Similarly, I don’t believe even the
most radical, hardened feminist would walk up to, say, Pete Buttigieg or Beto
O’Rourke and exclaim, “I would vote for you, if you didn’t have a penis,” or “I
would vote for you, if you only had boobs and a vagina.” They might say, “I
won’t vote for you because you’re a man,” but would probably just vote for
whoever has the most pro-feminist views… or for whichever female candidate they
prefer.
But back to poor old Sen. Warren.
If she could have run as a Native American gal with a penis, she might have
won in a landslide.
This intersectionality thing has
gone too far. Who’s more oppressed, Black lesbians or white trans “women?” We
have reversed the old concept of the melting pot, e pluribus unum, to our
existential peril. Black versus white, male versus female, poor versus rich,
straights versus gays, the religious versus the hyper-secular, red states
versus blue states, coastal elites versus the rubes in “flyover country,” and
on and on it goes…”progressives” pitting each group against every other group,
atomizing society yet no longer recognizing the value and primacy of the individual.
It is no longer enough to simply be
an “American,” we must be described as something like: “an agnostic,
non-binary, African-American, Sagittarius trans woman whose pronouns are
they/them.”
Whether one sports a penis or not,
it should be obvious to all that this is a recipe for societal disaster.
Lincoln said, “A house divided
cannot stand.”
A house divided umpteen ways is
destined to collapse utterly…and soon.
