Then again, we might not.

As a matter of fact, we might be amazed and ashamed that we lived through such irrational times.

You are absolutely right. Whites are just wiggers now under Jim Crow 2.0.

It’s NOT “New Progressivism”, NOT “wokeism” — it’s ***RADICAL LEFTISM***.

She describes a liberal intelligentsia “wild with rage and optimism,” brimming with “fresh ideas from academia that began to reshape every part of society.”

She was correct, and the author is being highly disingenuous in attempting to find diamonds in the dung. Citing the "racism" of, of all things, the interstate highway system, is beyond silly, as is the notion that the stifling bigotry that is Wokeness has any positive aspects to it at all. It was, and remains, a club intended to enforce crude social and political power over an over-tolerant public.

“It’s hardly revisionist history, for example, to point out that interstates were tools of racial segregation.”

This sentence gives you a hint of the author’s politics.

I don’t recall it being historical truth that roads were racist, say 20 years ago, or 40 years ago.

So her point is both stupid and revisionist.

> “wokeness,” is the “New Progressivism,”

More syllables means only “smart” people can appreciate it.

Progressivism uses instability to gain power.

Instability then destroys progressivism.

If you need some paper to line your bird cage grab a copy of the Salt Lake Tribune.

When you allow others to control, so-called, “narratives” you will endure stupidity!

The tv breast size indicator says that Woke is slowly dying. Breasts on tv are getting larger again.

Whenever any cretin begins a writing with the words “the murder of George Floyd,” what you see is a fool!

I called it 1.5 years ago that the winds had changed.
Very happy I was correct.

Most women need to shut up for awhile. This is one.
