The problem is that your proverbial crazy aunt now has the power of the government behind her. This is particularly onerous in the military, where you are not permitted to disagree publicly with command policies.

And if you were to decide to make the military your career, there is no escaping whatever social indoctrination is in place. You cannot quit and go to a less woke company and stay within your career field because there is only one military. So either you accept it, and agree to instruct all your subordinates in it, or you end your career.

In light of that, the wiser move seems not to join the military in the first place unless and until they get rid of all that crap.

Honestly, our best hope to fight wokism may come from the Supreme Court next term. There is a very real chance that the supreme Court shoots down the concept of diversity as justification for any form of affirmative action, and returns us to a policy of color-blindness. That decision would have a massive ripple effect throughout all levels of government.

True, true.

Actually, I am surprised that Trump and DeSantis act like there is still a viable election process in this country. I had concluded from Joe's election that there would never be another "honest" presidential election. In fact, I figured that, by their choice of Joe and Kamala, the Dems were making that abundantly clear.

Yet, Trump and DeSantis act as if all hope is not lost...yet.

What the Democrats seem to have overlooked is that the presidential election is what precludes the need for revolutions in this country. As folks use to say, we have a revolution every 4 years...and it's legal.

If elections are really taken away, we have to consider what other options we have...legally and otherwise (and, of course, there are no other legal options).
