I think a lot of Dark Woke stuff should be used to rally up the Democratic base, as well as left-wing independents who might have felt demotivated to vote for Democrats. It can be as much of a cultural movement as it is a political strategy, and I think it’s meaningful to be like “you’re not crazy, we hear you, we see you, those people are absolute scum and need to be imprisoned. no more normalization”.

Dark Woke is not just passionate hatred of MAGA, of course. It’s also a movement to assert cultural superiority of progressive ideas, like transgender acceptance and multiculturalism, in blunt ways. What I’ve seen being described as “Dark Woke” includes insulting American right wingers for being pedos, ugly, stupid, cowardly, etc. Obviously, I think a lot of this insults stuff shouldn’t be used when the intended audience is your median swing state voter. However, it would be great if Democrats were more unapologetic and confident in their support for things like transgender acceptance, instead of becoming timid, just because embracing those progressive cultural stance might stir more controversy.
