ULIC sucks at articulating his message, but he has a point to a degree.

Any pro-Trumper I speak with parrots his same sentiments, the woke stuff, the cultural agenda.

Are they whiners? Maybe? Look I'd say I'm a pretty liberal/progressive, but even for me some of this stuff is getting eye rolling. I think what some of us on the left don't realize is how much we're in our own echo chamber, much like the right. Conservatives are just that, they hate change, when you change too much too soon, you get people like Trump rising to the occasion. Apple recently added a pregnant man emoji, who cares right? I don't, but to some of these people it's just more cultural change being rammed down their throats.

Let's take Canada for example, in the span of a few years it's been culturally acceptable to outright hate immigration, to dislike Indian people coming into the country and wanting to ban immigration from India entirely. You couldn't even say that in public 10 years ago without being called a racist, now we discuss this on the forum like it's a regular opinion stance.

You know how that happened? Change, too much and too fast.

By the way, can we find a new word for "woke"? That was always black slang for being aware, being woken to what the government and system is trying to perpetuate to people, it never had anything to do with some leftist cultural idea. It fucking pains me to see the right co-opt that damn term, as with many things they do.
