Trump’s officials are quietly concerned about his “blatant criminal behavior.” What took them so long?
It is time to stop examining the chaos and time to do something about it.
I have a source inside the Trump regime who feels, in their own words, “a little disillusioned.” This person says they signed on to the Trump team because of “DEI going too far” and because “woke culture was dividing the country,” but is now concerned about the “blatant criminal behavior” of Donald Trump. Really? His last administration didn’t show you that? Well, OK.
This source first approached me by saying, “I can provide you bonafides to show you I’m serious.” That impressed me because I didn’t think many people inside the Trump regime knew what bonafides were, let alone how to be serious.
This source’s concerns about Trump are indeed legitimate, and deserve to be heard. “Not all of us are buying everything he says,” this person told me. “We understand the problem, but we see no solution. You guys in the press, with very few exceptions, are not trustworthy. Congress can’t be trusted and the judiciary so far hasn’t been able to stop him.”
No, woke culture unites the country. That’s the fucking point. “Woke” means you accept that everyone is different and you agree to tolerate and respect those differences. Your insistence on hating people you view as different is what divides us.
Bullshit. “Woke culture” is also filled with evangelism, moralizing, and authoritarian assertion. You guys just want different people beaten with sticks by the pigs.
DEI and “woke culture” made me feel seen as a person with a disability and a facial paralysis. 100 years ago I would have been an orphan and hidden away. Not long before that I would have been “sacrificed” as an evil baby.
Did corporations cash in on that? Yes they did because that’s all corporations are supposed to do is make money and bleed the consumer.
If you are anti-woke and anti-DEI then you’re really saying you want to include everyone who looks like you and relegate those who don’t to obscurity either by way of deportation, exile, slavery, or death. It’s exactly like what every country perpetuating genocide has done in history.
What is your solution to my problem of again not feeling like I can go out in public because of this administration’s policies. What about to the LGBTQIA people who are afraid that their marriage will be nulled or are also afraid to go out in public?
Are you ok with fixing people different from you back to isolation, declining mental health, and attempts to take their life because of getting rid of DEI?
I live my life, look out for my neighbors, don’t litter, and don’t talk to cops. You’re all naive enough to think your opinion holds value 20 feet outside your radius.
No, it isn’t. You want something to really worry about? Communism. You should dread communism. For real. Go to bed every night praying that there isn’t a communist revolution in the US.
Now go articulate to yourself what you think communism is and what you think is so scary about it, then maybe consider reading the source material.
Retribution is so scary about it. Unless you own the means of production or think you’re going to miss capitalism, you don’t have much to worry about.
I don’t, and your audience here don’t, so I’m not sure why you’re telling them to be afraid.
Not a concern, no…
What are you scared of? Are you literally Elon?
I’m scared of a lot of things. Why shouldn’t I?
What specifically about communism are you afraid of? articulate it, or admit that you do not know or understand what you’re afraid of.
And if that’s the case, it’s okay, it’s okay to be afraid of the unknown. But it’s not okay to insist that you know what you don’t know is scary. Communism isn’t what’s scary, capitalism is, unless you’re a capitalist, which you’re not.
You’re a worker who works for a capitalist.
I’m not afraid of Communism, I don’t know where that comes from.
I’m afraid of being disappeared because I live in a country led by a neo-fascist PM that’s been eroding civil rights, buy I’ve never been afraid of Communism.
No, you just get 100% of your political knowledhe from the Conservative Propaganda Machine.
All Woke means is “Live and Let Live.” What is the problem with some people choosing different paths for their lives? You go your way, they go theirs. As long as you don’t mess with their journey, nobody will mess with yours. See how that works?
Enforced by police batons
Police protect Nazis, not woke.
Cool. Let’s stop doing law enforcement
enforcement by police is only applicable when there is imminent physical harm to others… principals of non-discrimination are ensured by courts - like employment law about non-discrimination due to race… nobody has been beaten by the police because they refused to employ a POC due to their race
You haven’t been around many police. You really think rules apply to our occupying force?
and which side is protesting against the police use of force and wants change?
you say that the “woke” crowd want DEI enforced by a police baton, and then move the goalposts to that if we make the rules we won’t have any control over the use of force to enforce them, while it’s a subset of that exact crowd that are chanting “defund the police” while the anti-woke are “thin blue line”
the woke crowd want to be able to live life like anyone else, and doesn’t want anyone to face police violence… it’s the anti-woke crowd that want more police violence and more reason to use that violence on everyday people who don’t fit the mould
Every law is enforced through death at some point. When you write a law, you are saying it’s okay if police enforce it to the death. If you are okay with having police at all, you are okay with state violence.
what a fucking dumb take… in most countries that aren’t the US, there is no death penalty for any crime
we punish people in many ways, and most of them are non-violent and violence via incarceration is only used as a last resort
