Seeing the blatant racism here feels insane to me. Why is it so normalized now?

Truly. And it feels like a lot because they’re abort behavior is focused in on I think that some people hold these thoughts internally, but are too chicken to actually externally express them, but with the way that this administration behaves. Those intrusive thoughts, become words. Plus, everybody become extra brave online.

Maybe, but more so there was a long time concerted effort involving careful planning and corporate funding. Through the Heritage Foundation, mega church corporations, and other wealthy alt right groups, they made this whole plan to override what real people actually want. They’ve recreated a landscape where bad people can get away with being jerks again.

Mmmmm and where do you draw that line? Because last I checked, everyone called woke was just using their friends’ preferred pronouns and choosing not to date racist ppl.

That depends on what you say. If you’re getting banned for it, it’s clearly racist. But a statement about a race that is not harmful, rude, disrespectful or offensive may be okay even though there’s no reason for it

Woke and progressive are two different things. Progressives are focued on a policy driven political philosophy of equality that is rooted in traditional activism to get legislative change. Woke people are more cultural and trying to force the entire society to change their views rather than just policies. Scared of using the wrong pronouns or are scared to use certain words that may be ‘offensive’. Progressives are working for better, woke is trying to force humans to change for them.

The woke movement is becoming useless and creating a bigger divide. The woke movement is how we have gotten to the points of pedophiles trying to talk to society and asking to be called ‘minor attracted persons’. Now if you’re republican they’d want to kill you. Woke is a problem. Progressive is not.
