[QUOTE="CeeCee72, post: 443030, member: 5055"] Sadly, yes. We saw that in the results of the 2024 election. Your right - there's nothing wrong with being "woke" in the way that you described it, and the way most left of center people view it. Unfortunately, that's no longer what "woke" means to the general voting public. They view it as something to be repulsed by and afraid of. Fox News, and honestly most of the main stream media, are very good at scaring the hell out of older, white, Christian people with nonsense. And those older, white, Christian people are the ones who always show up to vote. To be clear, my political leanings are certainly to the left, and I guess I could be accurately described as "woke.* My problem isn't with progressive politics, it's about the laser like focus on identity politics that led to the whole cancel culture.
