The Woke Right

The most disturbing thing about Trump's right wing, to me, is how they've essentially adopted the left's convictions and tactics. They're now all in on identity politics and big government intervention. They excuse it in the name of revenge, or setting things straight, or whatever - but they've become what claim to hate.

Nope
 
Ok, it doesn't matter much. You're so wrong in every other way. But this BS is laughable. Mexicans aren't 'woke' in the slightest. They're relatively conservative. Anyway - back to your regularly scheduled whining about brown people.

He said used

Think Cloward and Pivens.
 
A couple of conservative Brits discuss the Woke Right with an American conservative. And just like many lefties are against the PC/Identity Politics crap that has caused so much damage to the party, he sees that "Wokeism" is counter-productive on the Right as well.

His definition of Woke Right includes:
  • Since this comes from the Right, he calls it "Woke Neo-Fascism", which makes sense
  • They behave exactly like the Woke Left...
    • Targeted influence campaigns
    • Create the illusion that there's massive distaste for this or that
    • Social Media manipulation
    • Highly invested in Reactionary Identity Politics, "answering evil with evil, which the Bible says not to do, by the way"
    • Grievance, everything is bad for straight white Christian men
    • We're the oppressed minority
    • Convinced the elites are trying to marginalize and de-legitimize them
    • Lots of lying, character attacks, lots of manipulative speech
    • Critical of America -- America bad, America bad, America bad
Sure sounds familiar.

Projection much? The left always accuses the right of what you're doing.

No. It doesn't

Here's the thing - I'm sick to death of the team sports mentality to politics. I don't decide who to support based on which party the "belong" to. Polis just happens to be far more libertarian than any politician on the national stage. The fact that he's a Democrat is irrelevant to me. Likewise, Trump is the furthest thing from a libertarian I've seen in years. Yet I'm supposed to support him because he's better than Harris? Fuck that.

Again if you don’t shorten the post, you would see my rationale. 🤷‍♂️

Does it suggest ANYTHING to you Mac that of TWELVE respondents, TEN of them all laughed in your face as a kook? And I was kind not to make that ELEVEN.

To sane people, that would suggest that maybe they were WAY OFF and needed to reassess their ideas. You know, like Harris supporters who expected to stomp Trump a new mudhole.

But I realize that to far left lost causes like you and other hopeless democrats, you rationalize that as further proof of how far gone down the rabbit hole the country has become lost due to tinfoil brainwashing by Trump.

Please keep telling yourself the latter.

Sure. Mindless Trumpsters. Each one. This is a Mindless Trumpster board, Einstein.

That's what makes it so interesting to observe.

If you don't like that, too bad.
 
Thou Shalt Not Criticise the Woke Right

The woke logic operates like this:

1) There are good and bad identity groups

2) You can’t trust anything you’ve been taught about history or anything you’re being told today because your beliefs are based on lies spread by people who are in control of society

3) There is a select group of people (us) who understand what’s really going on and we are bravely raising awareness of the issue

4) Anyone who disagrees with us or criticises us is doing so because they are a bad person and their criticism and disagreement just proves that we are right and they are bad

The woke revolution which occurred over the last 10 years was bad enough. But the iron law of reality is that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Having lived through a decade of this race Marxism which spread through our elite institutions like an aggressive cancer, I believe we are now witnessing the emergence of an equivalent phenomenon on the fringes of the Right.
