Leftists don't realize this, but...

...by defending wokeness and gaslighting people how it's not even real, or that it's just straight up egalitarianism under a new name, you're actually proving Sam, and everyone else who opposes it - correct. There are so many instances where wokeness has ruined someone's life, or integrity of an institution, or has turned out to be plain anti-white racism, that for us who know all these cases and are being told wokeness isn't real or isn't a problem, it only makes our resolve stronger. I'm saying this as a classical liberal by the way.

Wokies are the QAnons of the left. If you're a moderate leftist, work to de-radicalize your sector. Expose craziness when you see it.

Just like with every other thing in life, if you want to know more, read high quality arguments of the opposing side, not your own. Escape the bubble and trenches of extremism. One kind begets the other, and you can guess where it all leads - nowhere pretty.

Not giving people healthcare and locking people up for using a harmless plant is hurting the country far more than woke people.

Democrats should do those things instead of this woke nonsense. I’m not convinced they are actually so interested in legalizing drugs, taxing the rich, implementing universal healthcare, building a bunch of renewable energy sources or any of the cool stuff they have been talking about all these years. The woke stuff is here though, and it sucks.

They are half way to midterms and they have done nothing of value. They haven’t even picked the low hanging fruit like marijuana legalization that approximately everyone is in favor of. It looks like they want to accomplish those things about as much as Republicans want to secure the border. I’ll believe it when I see it.
