Exposed: The Woke Strategy Handbook

The dirty political tactics deployed to win elections revealed

Part II of “Why Westwood is So Woke”

Election season used to be a time for American Citizens to speak their voice and take an active role in the direction of our country and the government. Elections were courteous and professional but intensely competitive.

The world has changed. When it comes to the most hotly contested elections in the state, that of the school board, any election social codes of conduct are null and void for the woke far left. We can see this in action through the dissolution of decency from the highly threatened Leftist mob at work in Westwood, NJ. 

As we try to expose why Westwood has become a desolate scorched earth of political progressive ideology, it is important to reiterate the demographic makeup of this generally peaceful community. 

Westwood as a whole is not hard leaning either right or left.  The Community is comprised of busy family people and seniors living their lives. Getting up, going to work, taking care of the once-happy routines of their day-to-day, enjoying retirement and the hustle and bustle of a cute downtown. 

Since the new year, the far-left progressives have launched aggressive opposition to the first “Non-Left'' School board in years. Westwood endures Banana Republic level audience behavior at board meetings,  social media attacks on its residents,  biased mainstream news reporting and now an indictment of the local culture. 

The community is being devoured during election season by the minority alarmist progressives. For the last 2 months, the Woke of Westwood have cracked their handbook of dirty political strategies open to regain control of the local government and community, but especially, the school board. 

All of this is done without boundaries, integrity or conscience. 

There are many powerful strategies at work;  and we are going to explain the top 10 so that the real victims,  The Townspeople of Westwood, can see through the smoke and mirrors to understand how and why all of this is being used against them and their community. We’ve defined defines each strategy and will, for the following next few days, demonstrate how these strategies are being deployed.

But first, let's list and define them.

—----------------------------------------

Strategy 1: Name Calling. “YOU are a….” A verbal assault accusation tactic used against anyone who stands against the left  ideology. They accuse others loudly and repeatedly of being full of Hate, Unkindness, Harassment Homophobia, Transphobia, Racism, Lack of Empathy and Compassion. Also words like Liar, Bigot, Bully, Fascist, Non Inclusive and Marginalizing. This is frequently combined with Strategy 2 as these names are hurled through shouting, threatening or crying. 

Strategy 2: Extreme/Exaggerated Response. “I will act so wild, YOU won’t ever oppose me again...” The Left uses an explosive emotional outburst and/or an extreme verbal accusations in response to situations they don’t like.  This is not to say they might not legitimately be angry, but the level of rage and emotion far exceeds a normal reaction.  This is done in hopes that the opponent becomes so uncomfortable from the outburst that the opponent won’t say or do anything again that would result in such an attack again.  All over colleges and universities you can find students throwing extreme temper tantrums because of speakers they disagree with invading their ‘safe’ spaces. Barking like dogs, hollering obscenities, and sometimes throwing things. This is all an effort to use the extreme reaction to prevent further opposition.

Strategy 3: Blame Shifting. “My behavior is YOUR FAULT….” The far left are masterful in placing responsibility and accountability for their actions onto anyone who opposes them in order to justify their behavior. Abnormal screaming, shouting, stealing of property, etc..….all of this is because YOU made them act this way. This tactic is often employed to excuse their misconduct and blame their lack of self control elsewhere. It also protects their sense of entitlement and self righteousness. 

Strategy 4:  Gaslighting:  “I will make YOU doubt your judgment…” A specific type of crazy making where  the far left tries to get people to doubt what their objective and better judgment is telling them is true.  Emotionally healthy people carry a level of empathy and compassion for other points of view. They don’t assume their complete rightness.  The woke capitalize on this by insisting on forcing the reality they want on the other group until that group doubts their own judgment. Once they doubt themselves, it’s much easier to supplant the alternative reality. Everyone knows that parents are the ultimate caregivers and the safest people for their children, but through gaslighting (and blame shifting), many parents have been convinced that the schools and the state are safer than parents.

Strategy 5:  Projection: “I accuse YOU of exactly what I am doing.” By displacing their actions and thoughts onto a different person or group, the far left then attributes their own unacceptable behavior onto the opposition. This leaves those accused shocked and surprised.  It is an attempt to get their opposition on the defensive and remove the ability to accuse the left of the same thing. Despite its effectiveness, it is nonetheless a confession. Interestingly, this is also a common weapon of the narcissistic abuser. You can see this most obviously when the left is accusing others of hate while acting in the most abusive and hateful ways.

Strategy 6: Overwhelm and Desensitize: “This is normal because look at how MUCH of it there is.”  The fire hose of progressive ideology messaging is meant to overwhelm,  bombarding everyone with radical leftist content that desperately tries to normalize behaviors that are often be disturbing and objectionable. Exposure to a high volume of such content and context leads to desensitization and eventually acceptance due to helplessness to stem the tide. Consider this in context of the pride flag. The general person knows that there is no reason for a pride flag affirming sexuality has no business being in an elementary school. But they are so prevalent, that through this strategy and strategy 1, parents are afraid to complain about it.

Strategy 7: There are more of us THAN YOU. “We’re a democracy. The majority rules, and we’re the majority so clearly you’re wrong.” The far left wants you to believe that unless you are in their political camp,  then you are the minority and your values at worst, wrong and at best, don’t matter because there is much less of you. They implant this falsehood through media and messaging in a rinse, repeat and reuse cycle, this creates a psychological assumption of quantity, popularity and accuracy. 

All of this contrived to convince the community that they are the majority voice, and that as the majority voice their position is right and any other is wrong. And even if they are wrong, your position doesn’t matter because it’s the minority one. 

Strategy 8: Create victim classes and present yourself as the savior.  “YOU are the oppressor, and WE are the saviors of all these oppressed….” There is little political discord when there is no “oppressor” and no “victim". " If you create an environment where classes of people (or any group based on a characteristic,  be it physical, sexual, financial or emotional) are divided, then there is the enablement of victimhood. One class is considered the ruling (mainstream) class and the hated enemy and the other, the victim class are the righteous, hurt and suppressed people.  This builds into a new ethical idea that the mainstream class is evil while the other classes is good.  Or, at the very least, abused.

Even more diabolical, it puts them in the position of being the one and only SAVIOR of the victim class. This, at the same time,  consolidates power into the left progressive movement and also creates a learned helplessnes in the  groups they pretend to represent who become dependant upon the savior to be “in charge. ”

And, this victim class needs to continue to grow until there is enough of a mass to break the social structures the mainstream (evil) class or classes has built. So the far left needs to invent victim classes and always be inventing more classes to absorb into their mission. The victim class in the United States for a long time were people of color (but not asians…), then it was asians because of covid and asian hate, and then it was the LGB community. Then grew to the LGBTQ+ and especially trans people. Finally now, the movement has another growing victim class: The LGBTQ+ People of Color (as recognized by the stripes on the flag)

(note, this point is not say if a class has or has not been victimized, but to demonstrate how the left continues to grow and appropriate them)

Strategy 9: Create Human Shields from the Victim Class. “We’re not doing this for US, it’s for THEM…..” The far left beast doesn't like their image to be stained with the obvious ambition for political or financial control of others for their own gain. That would present them in a light different than their positioning as morally just, empathetic, and ethically superior.  They insist that their actions are motivated by generosity and compassion for others. It’s for “The Children”, or “The Marginalized POC” or “The LGBTQ+ Kids”, or “The Under-Represented,” or “The Migrants” and now “The Teachers”

They also don’t like to be indicted in their behavior. So instead they create  human shields out of the victim class. This approach serves a dual purpose. First, they are able to maintain the pretense of altruism for their behavior. Second, when the woke ideology and behavior comes under criticism, they then thrust those human shields in front of them to take the brunt of the criticism and readily claim, “Well, we didn’t do this for us, it was for them (the victim class)….They (not us)  need this.” 

Strategy 10: Use real information to create fiction. “Here are the FACTS….(but not all of them)…” The left are notorious for employing edited accurate information to construct narratives that align with their political or ideological leanings by leaving out critical context.  By leveraging authentic data, they aim to bolster the credibility of their arguments and positions. However,  the information is selectively presented or important context is omitted to serve a particular narrative, a distortion is created which distortion that may be more persuasive to some audiences.

These are are highlight of the most common strategies currently at work during the election for the hotly contested BOE seats in Westwood (and Township of Washington) NJ. This is also being employed in the local races and the campaigns for the Senate. We think you’ll see, now that they have been written here, how disgracefully prevalent these dirty tactics currently are.  

Come back to Chaos and Control tomorrow, and  we’ll present examples of these strategies as they are being deployed.
