    It depends I persuadable but at the same time happy to agree to disagree with someone I respect.

    I didn’t declare the incontrovertibly true. I said they seemed that way to me and specifically invited people to tell me why I’m wrong.

    By the way, there’s still time to tell me which of those two statements you disagree with.

    I already provided arguments about Trump's effectiveness in reigning in wokeness, and even provided examples of wokeness being perpetuated by Biden that Trump would not have perpetuated. But I am sure you can provide examples of wokeness that you can tie to Trump being in office. These anecdotal arguments about an ambiguous and unmeasurable term like "wokeness" might lead one to discard any notion of "incontrovertible truth". It's an unearned top shelf framing of what is actually just another opinion.

    Why can a rational person expect things to be different a second time around? Because things will be different, to some degree. It would be irrational to expect them to be the same. Regarding the culture of wokeness, the pendulum and its momentum are not at the same place now as they were in 2015 leading up to that election. It's not a compelling argument to just assert that if Trump is in office, wokeness will follow its 2016 to 2020 trajectory. If you want to attempt to establish that with something beyond an assertion, please feel free. I don't even think TDS will be as pervasive this time around, much less a vaguely associated concept like "wokeness in the institutions".

        By all means, ignore any and all posts you choose. Mind your own business if you don't like a thread. I couldn't possibly care less what you think of the latest pulp fiction serials on netflix, but I don't poop on your threads about it.

            Some people do seem a little irritable. We could of course look upon it as an opportunity....

            I was only joking

                I don't know, it's going to be a struggle. There's nothing remotely bizarre or ridiculous about either candidate, after all.

                            Most attempts at starting conversations around here get ignored, so I am a little testy when conversations that posters are actually investing in, get dismissed as unworthy of appearing on these hallowed pages.
