First of all, I think the "wartime conservatism" rhetoric is ludicrous and takes us further down a disastrous path.
Second :Daniel Addison ignores (except in passing) my main point, which is that having Trump champion "anti-wokeness" will inevitably alienate large numbers of "anti-woke" (or at least wokeness-skeptical) liberals/moderates & convince many undecideds that anti-wokeness = racism
Basically, Daniel& #39;s argument is "Yes, we& #39;re at war with the & #39;woke& #39; far left so it& #39;s GOOD Trump drives them nuts, even if means more polarization & societal chaos"

Again, my focus is on the effect on liberals/moderates, not far left. Support for "woke" views has grown under Trump
Over 2/3 of Americans believe Trump makes race relations worse. So it& #39;s definitely NOT productive to have him on your side to fight "anti-racism" extremists.
Maybe the issue is that Daniel thinks Trump really is "pushing back against PC" on issues like immigration, while most think he& #39;s pushing racism & xenophobia ("people from shithole countries," "how is it where she came from" etc.) Pro-immigration sentiment has grown under Trump.
So ultimately there& #39;s probably no point in debate because I think it& #39;s overwhelmingly clear Trump traffics in racist demagoguery and Daniel apparently thinks that& #39;s a bum rap.
