I can't wait to see - now that Trump is gone - to see who gets to climb the crazy tree. I suspect the Wokes will not look all that sane in the light of day. It's going to be great watching them eat each other alive with no enemy other than logic and rationality.
As I have said a few times in the last few streams... Have some faith in ordinary people, and the people who have been polite to get elected, but have been working alongside these pricks in a pressure cooker and are on their last fucking nerve.



All it'll take for these Woke nutters to be sidelined is... well... working alongside them. lol. We know that nothing will get done, and even those women who've paid lip service will see themselves trampled on by Clymer and her ilk. I think we just need patience & popcorn.
We all know that incompetence, narcissism and overreach are the key driving factors in the movement. They will be unbearable people to work with. I honestly think if we just let them be themselves it won't be too long before everyone legislates accordingly.
Remember, all the thunkpieces that have created a multi-billion dollar industry is now gone. So, they need to find ways to replace that... which will 100% be turning on themselves and looking crazier and crazier, and alienating more and more people.
Worry not.
Worry not.
I've worked in campaigns with these personalities. They are a pressure cooker. Everyone pretends to be nice and unified, but after the campaign is done... holy shitballs does it all pour out. lol. Remember: they're insufferable to work with. Have faith.
I've worked alongside these difficult personalities AND I have sometimes BEEN that difficult personality. I will say from experience that this has a very good chance of self-correcting if we just let 'em go and try to do harm minimisation in the meantime.
Rioters will be stopped, Squad given busy work in committees, and TRAs will try their luck but women/POCs who've worked twice as hard will take exception when there is inevitable overreach/dominance.
I worry about damage in prisons etc in the meantime but policy-wise? Not at all

It's obvious the Dems are going for the centre (right) but have pandered to progressives for the campaign. I think the focus will be on getting things running smoothly, and anyone who disrupts that will likely be sidelined. They'll give progressives chew toys for 18 months.
As for Critical Theory Programs, well I think that will only be resolved in the courts, either with unfair dismissal or discrimination cases that find their way to higher courts. It's too far in with corporates, but eventually it'll tease itself out. Have faith.
I am not saying this based on how "US Politics" works, or how the Democrats work, but just how political parties and people work. I don't think Biden will be doing anything divisive for some time... and parts of CRT are valid & need addressing, so... let's see, yeah? Have faith!
I may be cynical about the United States Capitalist System generally, but I also know that it is incredibly robust. There is a very strong push for stability and just getting it all up and running again. Even if it is still shitty, it's stable shitty that seems to be the goal.
I think at some point Critical Theory/Wokism will be characterised as a new belief system and there'll be a church/state ruling along the lines of creationism in schools. It'll take time, but we'll get there.
I discussed this today on stream with @sam_ikin. I know I have a more optimistic view, but I just prefer to filter things through what it true, rather than catastrophising. Yes Wokism is totalistic, but... have faith.
