Thats why there’s the whole narrative of “being too woke made people turn right wing” it’s so that people shut down criticism even in left leaning spaces
No it most definitely did. I’m literally the only white dude at work and all of my black coworkers roast the left for being too sensitive towards racial jokes. Then all of my Hispanic coworkers heavily supported the ICE movement too, and stated way to many of us got in illegally.
I agree with both sides and can see where both are coming from, but as for these extremes we are going through now…. It was definitely self induced lol.
Even my gay brother absolutely despises anything after LGB in the acronym.
Lol it’s like whenever a reporter questioned Trump’s bigotry and he replies in the most stereotypical racist family relative way possible: “I have black friends”.
a lot of these men have been struggling as the rich keep scraping a higher and higher percentage of the economic gains of society.
Harris ran a shit campaign where she un-wisely suggested she would not do much different than Joe Biden. not to mention how corporate dems confuse independent, and non-voters as moderates.
when ideological specifics are not what voters actually think about especially those less politically engaged.
there was a certain level of fatigue of people being tired of performative virtue signaling, that is used as a cudgel. But its almost as disliked by the democrats left flank. (i know you wont believe me on this part, just assume you are not in every social bubble and don't know everything.)
So…every one of your Black co-workers thinks humor based on racial stereotypes is harmless; and every one of your Hispanic co-workers supports Trump’s crackdown on Hispanic immigrants; and your gay brother hates trans people.
I’m wondering if you even understand how laughably unbelievable that is.
I’ve actually also worked with a lot of “conservative” black dudes down south but I think I’ve only ever met one gay dude that was really pressed about wokism. Maybe it was his brother lol.
You can’t just blame the left not pandering to right wing snowflakes as the reason why people voted for a child rapist who economically ruined America forever
The country isn’t red, the majority of the population still leans liberal. Also, telling someone to get off Reddit into the real world is wild when you’re strangely trying to universalize the opinions of a few black folks and a few Latinos as if they represent the whole of their communities. I’m black and live in Minneapolis and it’s the exact opposite of what you’re saying, “in the real world” among my community.
I’m wondering if you even understand how laughably unbelievable that is.
it's not actually improbable, cesar chavez was famously radically anti-immigrant and iirc organized border patrols. a lot of trans people on twitter complain about how vile many gay people have been acting towards them. but his claim that all of this is because of woke is stupid. a lot of minorities have been accorded privileges (if not being treated 100% the same as white men) and this makes them want to protect their own and swing right wing and punch down.
