    The “woke mind virus” is basically these people not getting how other people can be empathetic to people who aren’t exactly like them

      I saw a comment on YouTube a few weeks ago that I think perfectly captures the mindset of the people who scream about the “woke mind virus”.

      The comment was something like “I never had a problem trusting a minority surgeon, but now they’re all woke DEI hires and I can’t trust any of them.”

      In other words, “I had no problem with minority surgeons when there were almost none of them because I had to accept that there were a handful of ‘good ones’ that worked hard and earned it. But now that I’m seeing more of them, I know lots of the ‘bad ones’ are getting in that could only get in because it was handed to them because of their skin color.”

      In these people’s minds, 95% of white people are “good ones” and 95% of minorities are “bad ones”. So if any respectable job has more than a few percent of minorities, the only logical conclusion for them is that there are lots of “bad ones” getting jobs they aren’t qualified for and didn’t earn.

      Many people on the right think that everyone on the left supports tax payer paid gender reassigment surgeries for undocumented immigrants in custody just the same way as many people on the left believe that everyone on the right is misogynistic, transphobic racist.

        51% of the country just voted for an openly misogynistic, transphobic racist and the vast majority of them were on the right soooooooo.

          And the rest voted for a candidate advocating for tax payer funded gender reassignment surgeris for undocumented immigrants in custody sooooooo.

          This game leads nowhere.

            An extremely small number of surgeries that have been medically proven to improve outcomes of individuals is totally equivalent to supporting the rise of fascism. Sure buddy. Have fun supporting hatred and bigotry.

              Thanks!

              You have fun with 4 more years of Trump probably followed with 8 years of J.D. Vance because that’s exactly what this gets you.

                I’ll at least be satisfied with being on the right side of history.

        everyone on the right is misogynistic, transphobic racist.

        That is because the being a misogynistic, transphobic racist is the primary personality of the people on the right.

        Oh hey I saw that ad on YouTube also but was able to provide seconds of additional research and critical thinking but that can be difficult for some; apparently most.

            Cheers I’ve read that already. Imagine opposition ads blowing something out of proportion, I am aghast

              I don’t watch ads and neither should you. I don’t even understand why YouTube would target europeans with U.S. election ads.
