I've been thinking about the election quite a bit.
Perhaps the first rule of woke is to not talk about woke.
I think it is critically important to BE woke, and to set examples of lifting everyone up every day and in every way. It's not possible to eliminate the woke. You can't unknow a thing.
@Helical_Code Exactly. Let's have conversations but not let the Rs know we are. We all need to be Columbo right now.
@Helical_Code Those that I have encountered are so closed minded and have such a narrow view of the world, they don't want to hear anything outside of that. But you have a point.

I agree that not everyone can be reached. To a degree, it's a matter of keeping eyes peeled for gaps in the armor, and advancing a case for empathy and respect.

I think it's possible to have conversations with the Rs about enlightened thinking. It's a matter of approach.
It needs to be distributed like the fuel in Mad Max. As a party platform, woke doesn't work for the majority of straight white Christian men because they (and many people) want to be the center of attention and importance.
