The Washington Post has changed the headline of an opinion piece by Fareed Zakaria suggesting Democrats should ” forget pronouns ,” after facing Twitter condemnation. “Forget Pronouns: Democrats need to become the party of building things,” was the headline of the piece posted Thursday. The “forget pronouns” was later dropped from the headline.
Zakaria shared the article on Twitter, saying “getting stuff done” is “a lot more important to most Americans than using the right pronouns.” This was in response to a New York Times poll that showed President Biden as intensely unpopular, especially among young people . Yet the backlash against Zakaria was swift. In the column, Zakaria listed of the myriad problems facing the US, from social problems to infrastructure to the economy. He then concluded: “This is not a perception problem. It is a reality problem. Democrats need to once more become the party that gets stuff done, builds things and makes government work for people. That’s a lot more important to most Americans than using the right pronouns.” That currently is the only mention of the word “pronouns” in the piece.
Twitter users wrote about the need to respect others pronouns and paying attention to the needs of transgender people, Mediaite reported . Users of the platform attacked Zakaria for tossing aside pronouns without providing evidence the gender ideology delaying progress on other issues.
Chasten Buttigieg, a teacher by trade who is married to Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg,wrote, “It is wildly inappropriate to instruct Democrats to toss aside an entire group of Americans in order to win.”

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
