    Yes, I do. And I think Lemmy needs to come to terms with it.

    It’s not just Republicans that are tired of “woke policies.” The election shows that. Lemmy and Reddit are just huge echo-chambers on the subject. People from both sides of the aisle are sick of the woke BS.

      Can you give some specific examples of “woke BS” that Democrats pushed during the election?

        If you don’t know about the controversies of being “woke” or not, then there’s not much I can do to help. Thanks.

          Ah, so a vague boogy man to criticise the Democrats with when there’s no specific complaint. Got it.

            And the fucking Democrats lost against Trump. Trump of all people! Both the electoral AND the popular vote. And the Senate and the House.

            You got your fucking asses handed to you. And it wasn’t just Republicans who did that. You don’t lose all of that unless Dems vote for Trump and/or don’t vote at all because they are disgusted with the Dem party.

            Did you get that, too? lmao

            You guys lost all of it. All. Of. It. Got it?

            Thanks, friend! :)

              I was asking about the “woke BS”. What does any of your screaming and ranting here have to do with “woke BS”?

                I think you are a bit lost in the thread. This article and the quote of “woke” that I’m referring to is what Maher said. He said: “‘I warned everybody about Trump, and then I warned them that I warned them about what would get him reelected, which was stupid wokeness, which is what got him reelected,’ Maher said.”

                I’m not sure if you are looking for a “gotcha” moment by trying to get me to say what I feel is “woke” or not “woke.” But I’m not a Republican so I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make.

                I think you know what kind of policies and decisions are considered “woke.” And the US let you know they aren’t cool with it anymore.

                What I personally consider “woke” doesn’t matter. I didn’t vote for Trump or Harris. I voted third party, friend.

                And knowing how everything turned out, I’d STILL vote third party. Happily.

                Thanks! :)

                  I really don’t. You’re saying the Democrats lost because of their policies of “Woke BS”, and yet somehow you can’t name a single one of their woke policies.
                  What I saw was the Democrats running on a platform of “status quo, everything is good enough, and big businesses are great” all of which is far from “woke”.

                  It would be a lot easier for you to put me in my place by naming any “woke BS” the Democrats were running on than your paragraphs on paragraphs of avoiding the question.

                    Oh, I can name a lot of woke policies. If you don’t know what woke means as it relates to politics, then I can’t help you. Good luck, friend!

      That’s an interesting position to take considering how close the election was, but I think it’s also telling considering all that you said prior to Trump’s election and the inconsistencies therein.

      You are a contrarian. Nothing more. There’s no wit or wisdom behind that.

      Good luck.

        but I think it’s also telling considering all that you said prior to Trump’s election and the inconsistencies therein.

        What did I say prior to Trump’s election that contradicts what I say now? The only thing I was wrong about was thinking Biden would win despite Trump rising in the polls—an opinion many accused me of being insincere about at the time anyway.

        I didn’t vote for Biden or Trump, just like I said I wouldn’t.

        I said Trump was a moron, and he is. I said Biden was a moron, and he is. I said that dems were denying (and hiding) his mental decline. And they were. (And I was called a paid russian asset for doing that.)

        I posted news articles saying that Trump was moving ahead in the polls, and he was. (And I was called a paid russian asset for doing that.)

        I said I was going to vote third party, and I did. I said I was a socialist, and I still am. (And I was called a paid russian asset for doing that.)

        I said Lemmy (especially .world) was an echo-chamber, and it is. My post/comment history from that time is still up: https://lemmy.world/u/universalmonk

        And since you seem to remember me from those times, you’ll also recall how many claimed I was a paid Russian asset and insisted I would vanish right after the election. Yet, here I am. And still not a russian asset. :)

        Thanks, friend!
