    Yeah, well, get used to the next four years of people flying their hate flag high. We may just find out that 2017-2021 was just them dipping their toe in the water, so to speak.

    Oh, I've have worked around plenty of people like that for a good part of my working life. Anymore, I either call them out on it and let whatever happens(usually if it is something extremely racist, sexist or bigoted) or stay away from them and tell others what they are like. Figure if enough people ignore them, they will get the hint that their viewpoints are not welcome and either keep them to themselves or go somewhere else.

    Yeah, nope. You could ask five different talking heads what "woke culture" is and you would end up with six different answers. Not wasting time with that shit.

    It helps when they're held to standards of perjury when they give that answer. That's why I cite Ron DeSantis' definition of "woke", because he's a far-right guy just like those who're using it as a perjorative so they can't claim I'm using some fringe lefty definition;

    "The belief there are systemic injustices in American society and the need to address them." That's what his legal team offered in court, when pressed.

    If you have an issue with that, you're a bigot, and there are no other explanations.

    Just curious.
    Trump supporters love terrorism. They tried to overthrow the government.

    They believe in almost any conspiracy theory you can fathom, so it would seem they are the 'woke culture" you are talking about.

    The agenda pushing for minorities, women, LGBTQ, etc...
    It's not that hard.



    Not him.
    But, like him, i share his concern for the gaming, film and TV industries being ruined by this ideology, in addition to campuses and media being taken over by terrorist supporters.
    You prefer rapists?

    Sure, but think of the profits we can generate for pharma companies if we get rid of stupid things like regulation and testing for drugs before pushing them to the market?

    Trump says he has 'no choice' but to start mass deportations of one million migrants to start with, and that there is no price tag. Estimates put the cost of 10s or even 100s of billions of dollars.

    No country is going to accept these people. So trying to process and have these countries receive them will take a long time if never.

    So now you have to house and feed them. Have personal watch over them. I have no doubt they will treat them as subhuman when it comes to medical, etc.

    So then trump is going to attack these countries, by I guess trade wars and worsening relations.

    Considering this is Trump we're talking about those people are going on the trains the same way the Jews did.

    Not in the least. Dude has already proven that killing women isn't a problem. Has already proven that having others attempt to kill his former VP for following the Constitution isn't a problem. The extermination of immigrants that are "poisoning the blood" of the country -- Yeah he's down with just offing them too.

    They will lie to themselves the entire time that Project 2025 is being implemented saying it isn't his policy, yet, they are openly admitting it is now.

    There's going to be some really surprised people in the next four years. And a lot of them are going to be women when some draconian laws about spousal abuse and rape suddenly appear to appease some backwards Evangelicals.

    And with them getting rid of no fault divorce, infant mortality and women mortality will skyrocket, companies are getting ready to increase prices, especially groceries.
