The city I grew up in is just a few miles away and it is in the grip of wokeness. What kinds of citizens does this produce? Do you recall in 2009 when Barack Obama got a Nobel Peace Prize for “looking good”? Well, those city voters thought that was a great idea! And if anyone questioned the absurdity of the award those voters and their media called them racists. Name calling and smearing are big with liberals because it zeroes out different opinions full stop. If someone utters something that does not fit the woke model you just call them Nazis, and all dialogue ends with you being right!
The woke mind is so certain it is right that it will not tolerate opposition. This is extremely dangerous. The woke mind will go to extremes to get power and keep it. It will encourage supporters to harass different thinkers like Maxine Waters did in 2018. This likely encouraged violence that ensued.
But the rest of the country is not jack-booted liberal. Not only that but occasionally an upstart like Charlie Kirk comes along that rally's and inspires voters, especially young voters, to think in terms that are not woke. This is when wokeness reveals itself to be the religious cultism it really is. I have no doubt that my old woke city fully supports late night TV host Jimmy Kimmel and his false smearing of a MAGA supporter as the culprit that fired the lethal shot.
Liberals there are influenced by their leadership and media to think a certain way. I don’t have a satisfactory answer to fix this. When wokeness is in control as it is there the city becomes ideologically tribalistic and fear can be used to discipline thought. I never thought anything like that could happen in that city.
There were two assassination tries on the current president before the successful one on Kirk. It is a heavily democrat voting city but when political, moral and cultural righteousness lead to assassinations as the tool of choice to remove troublemakers something is very wrong with the party that controls it.
