Still just wanting you to value evidence-based epistemology and consistently liberal ethics. Despairing a bit now, though.
I deactivated briefly.

Maybe Knowles is not one of the people who says the work are bad, intolerant people if they don't invite their Trump voting family for Thanksgiving. Musk's said that a lot though & he retweeted it.

So, is this a satirical depiction of how wokeists present Trump voters? Normally, this would have a caption like "How the woke imagine MAGA" to make that clear, but the comments aren't responding as though that's what it is. They're responding as though it's the reality of how MAGA are & that's good

But obviously Knowles and Musk are not wokeists &, would not (I would have thought) want to caricature Trump voters as insufferable, intolerant arseholes with creepy degrees of ideological zeal who ruin family gatherings & are best cut out of your life.

"It's not we who are intolerant. It's Trumpists. They really are malevolent ideologically-captured assholes who abuse everybody who disagrees with them & make Thanksgiving miserable. It's perfectly reasonable to cut them out of your life & not see them for Thanksgiving."

On the surface it looks like a thing someone who wanted to justify cutting off the Trump voters in their family & not seeing them at Thanksgiving would create in response to accusations that they’re intolerantly ending relationships with perfectly lovely people who just voted differently.

Good point!

The rage is intense and many people seem committed to proving they do not have a cult-like mentality & in no way resemble the woke by responding to what wasn't said, reporting me to third parties, telling me to shut up, educate myself, that I am a brainwashed wokist, a bully & denying free speech

Hmmmm. Is Whitney here? She is a woman of good sense. Either that or she is humouring me on the whole tea issue due to a cultural sensitivity notably lacking in you two.

You are both terrible people and I don't know why I still associate with you.

I shall persuade you with the evidence of your taste buds. You are a reasonable people. I predict that you will then make me Queen. Then we will move on to spreading the Good News to Tennessee @joshuaeakle.com where, of course, I will pay due homage to the reigning monarch, Her Grace, Queen Dolly.

I'm suggesting you look at it to get an outsider's perspective on your own country. Does it concern you that diplomats and ambassadors are advocating plans to conciliate a single private citizen as a way to forward diplomatic relations with the US rather than the person you democratically elected?
