Would you happen to have a policy idea on Tren De Aragua and massive illegal immigration?
Men in women’s sports?
Trade deficits with China?
Loss of manufacturing jobs?
No?
Just a huge share. So brave.
“Hard right vindicates ‘woke’ talking point about prevalence of racist and fascist ideologies by enriching pointless and cruel Nazi”
Couldn't we just take it another step back and say that the Woke were pushed into being so woke by raging bigots that came before?
I’ve noticed that right-wingers all across the world and all throughout history have always been *very* misogynistic, racist, anti-intellectual, and just generally against every single group other than their own!🤦🏻♀️
Always searching for a way to normalize and amplify their hate, whatever road is necessary
Backlash is just an excuse to not be open and learn from our mistakes as a society. Listening with an empathic ear is so fruitful for all parties.

What? You think she's going to get a financial advisor and invest in an annuity? Maybe if she strikes that Only Fans while it's hot....
Race is an invented concept.

It’s everyone’s responsibility to acknowledge and change your reactions/behavior.
No one can say, I’m blameless.
Like, racists became more racist bc they couldn’t handle others promoting fairness and equality… and are now blaming non-racists for it..?
Nah, fr, the worst part of that movie was the rapping seagull. I don't know why she did that.
Right-wing apologists, especially anti-Trump ones, are just this desperate to blame the left/liberals/etc for where they helped take the Republican party. As if it hasn't been racist for longer they've been alive.
The extent to which narcissistic reasoning suffuses nearly every political and cultural discussion makes me feel ill.
'Wokism' only exists in the imaginations of the right. These 'excesses' are entirely their own doing.
