    You seem very frustrated. Let’s break it down.

    1. Fox News used cancel culture and “wokeism” to get people fired up whether it was through lies or not.

    2. Some people on the left were in fact aggressively calling people out on the right for their wrongdoings and condemning them.

    3. These actions validated Fox News’ assertions of the left’s behavior and elicited fear and shame in people on the right who may feel targeted because of their racism and bigotry.

    4. Donald Trump stood up for the people on the right when other presidential candidates on the left did not.

    5. Donald Trump becomes a hero and is idolized partially due to being a savior to them during a time of “cancel culture”.

    Where we might disagree is #2. If you believe that people were not being canceled and attacked, then no point going any further. That would be strange though since it sounds like you might be in favor of more aggressive approaches.

    Don’t feed the machine. Be smart, compassionate and the hardest part is be patient.













  • I think you misunderstand me. I’m not suggesting complacency, just a focused approach that doesn’t exacerbate the issue. The more divided we are, the more power we lose, and that goes for all political parties. Both sides profit off of our hatred and fear towards each other.

    We need action. 100%. I’m just saying be smart about it. If violence is the answer, so be it, but you have to go all in and you have to win.

    A lot of the reason Trump fanatics exist is because it’s a reaction to the “woke movement”. People got some validation and ran with it, spreading hate for ignorance instead of teaching tolerance. People need to feel heard and just like Hitler, Trump is the leader of those who feel ignored.
