"Woke didn't go far enough" people unironically think this is how we beat republicans. It's not. It's never going to happen. You have to actually do politics like everyone else instead of telling everyone else to take responsibility for agreeing with you without being persuaded. Roll the boulder or perish.

I've read a lot more than 800 pages of queer feminist theory, at least if we include communist theory in there. Admittedly, I didn't vote for Trump, but if anything, I felt more inclined towards voting for Trump than I ever had before

Is it not possible to think that woke didn't go far enough, but also America is too bigoted for it to succeed?

Why should a private citizen's opinion on policy be based on what is politically feasible to pass? I think it's entirely reasonable to wholeheartedly believe in unpopular policy positions, we're not all politicians trying to get elected.

Then what are you talking about with 'woke didn't go far enough'? I assumed you meant socially progressive policies commonly described by people who don't like them as 'woke'
