My new @townhallcom column:
The Socialists Are Coming... for the Democrats
“When you look at this as a power struggle, rather than a purely ideological struggle, things begin to make more sense. Also, look where it happened. The pinkos who surfed to victory on the Marxist wave were in some of the most left-wing districts in the country. We have yet to see any of these pinko types actually beat a moderate Democrat in a blue or purple state. Now, Graham Platner, when he’s not busy touching himself in an outhouse or fantasizing about performing unnatural acts upon a burglar, is one of these. The dummkopf with the totenkopf is running against the rigorously normal Susan Collins, and he’s probably going to lose. Maine just isn’t inner-city New York City. There are a few of these folks running in places like Montana, but it’s not going to work. There’s no appetite in normal America for aggressive Marxists. That’s why this is all really more of a power struggle between generations within the Democrat Party.”
My new @townhallcom column points out that we’re not going to play the woke game anymore, no matter how hard they cry. In fact, it’s funnier when they cry.
“Woke 1 died out in the early 2020s when people got sick of the nags, scolds, and harpies trying to pester their way into power. But now these weirdos, losers, and mutations are back, trying to make "Woke 2: Wine Woman Boogaloo" happen. But it’s not going quite the way they want. It’s not happening quite the way they envisioned. Yeah, they’re whining and complaining like the shrill shrews they are, but people have finally figured out how best to deal with these yakking malcontents. You either mock them or ignore them, and when you do, they’ve got nothing.”
Woke 2 Is Here, and It’s Failing Hilariously https://townhall.com/columnists/kurtschlichter/2026/10/19/woke-2-is-here-and-its-failing-hilariously-n2684858
My new @townhallcom column isn’t gobbling the black pill…
“What goes for drug dealers also goes for political addicts and pundits — don’t get high on your own supply. We want to believe what we want to hear. Confirmation bias is a real thing. It’s out there, waiting to suck you in and turn you out. That’s why I try to be rigorously objective. I try to look at the facts. I’m by nature an optimist, or rather, I’m always looking for an edge, a way, a means to counterattack and seize the initiative, and I always assume it’s there. But of course, Patton's flipside is Pollyanna. Sometimes you’re trying to save the Kobayashi Maru whether you’ll like it or not, and you’re never going to be Captain Kirk. But let me tell you, here’s what my gut is telling me — the Democrats have peaked.”
Did the Democrats Peak Too Soon? https://townhall.com/columnists/kurtschlichter/2026/10/15/did-the-democrats-peak-too-soon-n2684625
My new @townhallcom VIP column demonstrates that everything from Hollywood doesn’t suck, just a lot of it…
“Is Hollywood suddenly getting based? Well, probably not, at least in the macro. Hollywood is still stuck in a morass of politically correct failure thanks to the cadre of unmarriageable females, militant minorities, and gender-weird diversity hires left over from Woke I who dominate the scene. That the industry is drowning is no surprise. At one time, Tinseltown was focused solely on making money, and the way you made money was to make things the audience enjoyed. Now, for the most part, we are condemned to endure the personal psychodramas and fetishes of a bunch of people trying to work out their daddy issues on our screens. No thanks. But there’s an exception to every rule, and he’s making hundreds of millions of dollars, proving that there is a market for entertainment that doesn’t hate its patriotic, normal audience.”
