@GooseGanderTalk My view is that you've articulated the exaggerated perception of "woke" but that it doesn't really exist in the world. People make a million decisions a day informed by different factors. The don't walk around yelling OPPRESSOR! That's just social media.

@JamesSurowiecki It's all just memes, a cynical view embraced by many in the younger generation that basically justifies saying anything, ever. The only solution seems to be voting him/them out.
it does seem as if a foreign adversary has taken over the US & in plain view is dismantling its programs, institutions, missions & ideals. the most acute observers among younger generations must be looking upon this with dismay, despair, outrage--their US will be tragically diminished compared to the US most of us grew up in. it's hard to believe that much of US science research is being terminated -- the country used to be so proud of its great scientists. not to mention medical research.
Weโve lost over 10,000 STEM PhDs from the federal workforce in a single year.
10,000.
Never thought the U.S. would ever allow this type of brain drain to occur - but here we are.
President Trump said ICE would go after the "worst of the worst." Apparently unable to find them, it is instead rounding up refugees with legal status, flying them in shackles to Texas and in some cases then releasing them and making them pay their own way back. https://t.co/ZFdMRO9zVN Those seized include Christians fleeing persecution abroad, which seems a little off-brand for Trump.
