Everyone always argues that their generation, their decade, the years that they went to high school and grew up had the best music. I was in a band in the 80s, and the lead singer and I both graduated in the ’70s, while the guitar player and the bass player graduated in the ’60s. We used to argue all the time about which decade had the best music. The guy who worked at Mr Cheapos’ record store and grew up in the 80s would argue that his decade had the best music.

California Billionaires: 'Get Me the Hell Out of Here'

Too Fun to Check: Kamala's an 'Exalted' Frontrunner for 2028!

Hyper-attuned to liberal sensitivities, Sunday’s New York Times featured race-beat reporter Clyde McGrady’s story “After Renee Good’s Killing, Some Conservatives Scorn Liberal Women.” The online headline deck: After Renee Good Killing, Derisive Term for White Women Spreads on the Far Right Vocal Trump supporters are demonizing Renee Good, her partner and their allies, with some even using an acronym: AWFUL, or Affluent White Female Urban Liberal.” Name-calling in politics! The horror. Given that the left wing has called every Republican presidential candidate a racist and/or Nazi, the sudden concern from an elitist outlet doesn’t cut much ice (or ICE). In the days since a federal agent killed Renee Good in Minneapolis, Republican officials and conservative commentators have called the 37-year-old white woman “very violent,” a “deranged lunatic woman” and a “domestic terrorist.” Some right-wing influencers have latched onto a different word — or rather an acronym: Ms. Good, they have said, was AWFUL. Another five-letter word that McGrady had trouble with is the name of a conservative radio host he cited: It’s “Erick,” not “Erik.” “An AWFUL (Affluent White Female Urban Liberal) is dead after running her car into an ICE agent who opened fire on her,” the conservative commentator Erik Erickson posted on social media. “Progressive whites are turning violent. ICE agents have the right to defend themselves.” From a co-host on an AM radio show in Orlando, Pierce Outlaw, to an army of internet trolls, the acronym has taken off…. McGrady is on the paper’s “race” beat, so of course he made a ludicrous leap from conservatives criticizing privileged white radicals to the racist carnival barker Nick Fuentes. Liberal white women are only the latest group to be on the receiving end of right-wing animus. In late October and November, as Tucker Carlson offered a friendly interview to the Holocaust-denying white nationalist Nick Fuentes, the fear among some conservatives was that attacking Jews was inching toward the mainstream of the Republican Party…. McGrady performed some impressive ideological contortions to make the “AWFUL” appellation – which, let us emphasize, criticizes white women -- about white supremacy and the Charlottesville march. But for the broader core of Mr. Trump’s followers, the description of white, urban women as violent radicals obstructing mass deportations seems to reflect older anxieties around race, gender and immigration among the white, non-college educated men who make up the core of Mr. Trump’s movement and perceive their place in society slipping, said Dr. Shauna Shames, a political scientist at Rutgers and co-editor of the book The Right Women: Republican Party Activists, Candidates, and Legislators. "Shauna Shames" sounds like a cartoon name for a liberal professor sounding off in a so-called "era of creeping tyranny."  The reporter finally acknowledged a slice of reality, noting that "Karen" is a bipartisan insult, and quoting Erickson again: “Good had been harassing ICE agents much of the day,” he wrote, continuing, “Good had been involved in a progressive activist group called ICE Watch that encouraged not just obstruction of ICE, but also something they call ‘de-arrest,’ which means helping detained illegal immigrants escape.” It is not clear how deeply Ms. Good or her partner were involved in the organized protests that have greeted immigration agents in Minnesota. And while administration officials have claimed that she was violent or mentally ill, that description bears no resemblance to the person relatives and neighbors said they knew. Liberal academics have been diagnosing what they see as the problem. Laura K. Field, author of the book Furious Minds: The Making of the MAGA New Right, said social, demographic and economic changes had left men with a sense that they have lost status. While we’re on the psychiatrist couch, why not mention how leftists relish “white women’s tears” and also attack liberal white women, for engaging in white supremacy under the guise of feminism? And if “AWFUL” is so awful, what about “weird” and “creepy”? During the 2024 presidential campaign, Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) gained media plaudits and eventually the Vice President candidate slot by calling the Republican candidates Donald Trump and J.D. Vance (and by extension their supporters) “weird” and “creepy.” The Times wasn’t traumatized by that insult of white men. In fact the paper considered it a psychological masterstroke. Reporter Ernesto Londono praised “weird” with co-author Adam Nagourney in “Tim Walz’s Extraordinarily Ordinary Life.” With his broad smile and unpolished style, it was the Minnesota governor — more than any other Democrat — who was able to conceive and deliver Democrats’ new favorite attack on Mr. Trump and his party: that they are “creepy” and “weird as hell.”
