[QUOTE="Frank Underwood, post: 414321, member: 35"] [USER=2210]@Laurie![/USER]: Democrats are currently in power, and they've proven that they don't care about high prices or security either. Harris's tenure as prosecutor, along with her vow to continue funding Israel's genocide and the Ukraine War, was indicative of her own corruption IMO. Thinking Dems would have been any better than Trump is just as delusional to me. Many of the people who voted for Trump were desperate as Snarky rightly pointed out. They voted based on their current circumstances, which is understandable. The fact that Harris couldn't distinguish herself from Biden and was installed by DNC insiders instead of going through a primary didn't help either. The sad reality is that there wasn't a working-class champion or an anti-war candidate to vote for. Americans are screwed by two corrupt parties, so they're left to vote for the party that makes the best sales pitch. Lastly, being woke isn't about opposing "American misdeeds." I believe most Americans (including myself) would love to see [I][B]all[/B][/I] war mongers locked up for life. Of course, we'd have no government if that happened. When people refer to "woke," they're talking about the overt pandering and virtue signaling to "oppressed and marginalized" people. Their identity is often weaponized to the point that they're treated like a protected class. For example, criticism of black and female politicians is automatically called racist and sexist respectively, even if the criticism is policy-based. Wokeism uses identity as a shield against[B][I] all[/I][/B] criticism, even if the criticism is valid. It's also used by corrupt institutions to manipulate people and play on their emotions. How do you make corporate greed and imperialism palatable? Encourage black, gay, and trans people to support it, of course! [/QUOTE]
