Anyone who uses the terms "woke" and "cancel culture" as pejoratives can be immediately disregarded as an ignorant asshole.

Also all of this. Anybody who uses those terms unironically immediately goes into my mental trash bin. I will never take you seriously.

Literally witch hunting anyone who hasn't explicitly pledged total support to the GOP. The republican party needs to be forcibly disbanded and laws in place restricting them from having more than 3 current politicians from their base working together.

Good use of the "you must be tolerant of my intolerance, or you are in fact intolerant yourself!" trope.

Lmao. "Actually, removing fascism is also fascism"

And you wonder why people don't percieve you as the innocent moderate republican that you see yourself as.

Wokeism - NOUN - The behavior and attitudes of people who are sensitive to social and political injustice.

So, based on that definition, if you are against being "woke", you literally are ok with (or unaware of) the social and political injustices of the world.

Is that really something you want to admit to?

the Conservative Political Action Conference, called on lawmakers to punish corporations with radical left policies such as paying travel costs for employee abortions, supporting the Black Lives Matter movement or promoting radical gender theory and gender modification onto our children.

We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant. We should claim that any movement preaching intolerance places itself outside the law and we should consider incitement to intolerance and persecution as criminal, in the same way as we should consider incitement to murder, or to kidnapping, or to the revival of the slave trade, as criminal.
