Has anyone really done the math on how many of these unwokians actually exist? I keep hearing that somewhere around 80% of them believe in and promote the big lie, but that's 80% of WHAT exactly? Is that 80% of what once was 40% or might now be 33% or fewer? And if it's true that this subset of unwokes is that small, why are they still getting headlines these days?
The entire GOP is has become insane. There is no other way to put it, and place religion on top of it, you've got a party that's going to massively self-destruct before 2022. Any respectable Republican voter will leave it and either join the Democratic party or stay on the sidelines until the GOP has come out of the dust cloud from the Implosion.
And it's all because of a moron-DT. They'll only see what a mess they make of it when the lose the next midterms and general election-and they'll have earned the defeats.
You ever get the sense that people in faculty lounges in fancy colleges use a different language than ordinary people?
They come up with a word like “Latinx” that no one else uses. Or they use a phrase like “communities of color.”
I don’t know anyone who speaks like that. I don’t know anyone who lives in a “community of color.” I know lots of white and Black and brown people and they all live in ... neighborhoods.
My state of Massachusetts had a bunch of worthy Republican officeholders, but they were almost all before I was old enough to vote. (What would Senator Ed Brooke have thought of Senator Tim Scott?) I teared up when I got to the part in Rachel Maddow's _Bagman_ where the young prosecutors from Baltimore realize that Attorney General Elliot Richardson (R) has their back. To anyone under about 60 years old, that whole sequence must seem incredible.
I often wish the current term “woke” were instead “awakened,” which would be clearer while having the same meaning, although a lot longer and harder to fit on a sign. I don’t think most trumpsters even know what “woke” means in this new context; they just know it’s something liberals and Black people are for, and so they’re against it.
They just look like pathetic clowns. Appalling that the NYT spends a second on the Governor from such a teeny and unrepresentative state.
thanks for channeling our outrage, Lucian, and expressing it so well. keep it up!
