In the United States, a growing number of Democratic opponents to Donald Trump are adopting a communication style dubbed "dark woke," which mirrors Trump's aggressive, mocking, and social media-driven approach. This strategy, originating from social media, aims to counter Trump's populism with similar tactics, including biting humor and direct attacks, a departure from the Democrats' traditional more measured discourse. Prominent figures like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Gavin Newsom have employed this style, with Ocasio-Cortez responding to criticism with sharp retorts and Newsom using slogans like "Make America Gavin Again." This shift, however, sparks debate within the Democratic party about whether to adopt Trump's methods or maintain their own values, with some viewing it as a potentially fleeting trend that could influence political discourse in other countries, including France.
