Woke is our Enemy

[FrostKing]

You know the republican party is dead when it starts attacking the police and the military. It started with the FBI and CIA, two very conservative en ies, under trump and now they continue with the police and the military. At some point when everybody, even the bodies that are supposed to be on your side, disagree with you, it's time to start looking at a mirror, maybe you are doing something wrong.

Arguably the least educated general public in the Western World + most time spent glued to a screen

That is how the USA reached this point



"She claims about 20 people, many who she said were white, accused her of being racist for blaming the women for mugging her.

“They were telling me that the color of their skin doesn’t make them a thief,” Park said.

“That’s when I was thinking, “This country lost it”.”



> The future of America is Latinos and Asians. More common sense than the white people here (on both political sides).

Against a settled political bias I watched the Tokyo Olympics. I guess I wanted to be a fan like I was in 1976. As other posters have mentioned, NBC's coverage made the Tokyo 2021 Olympics largely impossible to enjoy.

Summer 2020 protests and the near miss with the Insurrection Act


In June 2020, in response to the protests after the murder of George Floyd, then President Donald Trump indicated his willingness to deploy the U.S.military in American cities.

• According to one account, Trump wanted the military to “beat the out of” Black Lives Matter demonstrators. “Just shoot them,” he apparently told Milley and his Attorney General, William Barr.

• On Jun. 1, 2020, White House aides reportedly went so far as to draft a proclamation to invoke the Insurrection Act of 1807, which allows the president to employ military forces to “suppress” major civil unrest.

• At the time, Trump reportedly demanded 10,000 active-duty troops be deployed to the streets of Washington, D.C. and other cities, but then-Secretary of Defense Mark Esper and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley objected to the plan.

• These demands immediately preceded the President’s photo op with both men in Lafayette Park – an act for which Milley –the country’s top military official – later apologized, noting that his “presence in that moment and in that environment created a perception of the military involved in domestic politics.”

• The next day Esper hosted a press conference at the Pentagon where he addressed the role of the Department of Defense in the protests across the nation and announced his opposition to using the Insurrection Act to deploy troops to American cities. Esper stopped short of apologizing, but noted that he sought to stay apolitical, but “sometimes I’m successful at doing that, and sometimes I’m not as successful.”

• Following these events, Esper and Milley were then summoned to the White House,where the President expressed anger over the statement and reminded them that the decision to invoke the Insurrection Act was the President’s alone, according to ABC News reporter Jonathan Karl’s book Betrayal.

• Trump ordered troops from the 82nd Airborne Division to be stationed 30 minutes outside of Washington D.C., but within days Secretary Esper was able to get Trump to reverse that order and have the troops start withdrawing in what the New York Times reported as “temporarily easing a contentious standoff with the Pentagon.”

Surprising it took so long for such people with influence to finally speak out but also reinstates faith in our society to drive out extremism

Trump called Mo Brooks woke for moving on from the 2020 election

just more proof that "woke" is a nebulous term that means nothing but also anything. just like CRT is anything that has to do with race in any way

“If you’re confident that the police exist to protect you, you have white privilege.”
