Polls show little support for attacks on corporations’ handling of environmental and social causes — even among Republicans.

    I’m starting to think the culture war is starting to run its course.

      Do not get complacent, however. That’s how they actually kill things that are important.

      You’d think people would start to get exhausted at some point. Maybe Trump’s arrest will mark an end to an era of shit.

      Well the side prosecuting the war certainly can’t run very far without their motor scooters.

      Really? Have you been on the internet?

      Politics only mimics what the people are already interested in. And social media made the people interested in hating eachother. Until that changes politics won’t change.

        The internet is a loud echo chamber and doesn’t reflect what the majority thinks much of the time.

        Nah, this broader social justice movement has followed basically the same pattern as every other civil rights epoch seen in liberal democracies before it. Immediate moral panic is ultimately followed by rational conversations and democratic results. And then most people come out on the other side a bit more inoculated against bigoted or unjust ways of thinking.

          I think that is changing. We’re more and more switching away from social media and as it dies politics should return to normal though that isn’t to say normal is much better.

      This round, maybe. The whole thing is manufactured for political points, so now that being anti-woke isn’t getting attention, they’ll find a new thing to stir the pot.
