It is not a teachable moment. The wokes are not smart enough to see it. They are living in a false reality where they think they never have to grow up.
The “works”. Great term.
“Scolds” is another one I’ve picked up recently.
Our parents' generation were children of the Depression,WWII *and* Korea. They knew what hardship was...those who came after don't,with some exceptions,have the first clue what it's about.
A problem is, America is so rich and decadent that some people are so sheltered that they never have to grow up. Living the drug-hazed life of a Hunter Biden is their ideal.
Not so sure. You seem to think that wokies can learn, which is doubtful. No, wokies fundamentally hate everything about America. So, seeing the flag is at best a sign of defiance. Worse, an attack. Being woke MEANS “my beliefs (fed to me by the little voice in my head) are more important and more valid than anything you can even dream of”. The American flag was imagined and then first hoisted as a sign of the beginning of individual liberty. Woke = hive mind. They are psychopaths.
“It is not a teachable moment. The wokes are not smart enough to see it. They are living in a false reality where they think they never have to grow up.”
Agreed, but it is worse than that for some of them, the ones who think they are the smartest and wokest. They see Cubans in the streets with US flags, and say, “the poor, benighted little people. They don’t know what is good for them. That is why we the progressive elite must force them to do what is best.”
