When the “woke” mania swept the country in 2020, I took a step back and reevaluated where I stood and why I stood there. To my surprise, I found that I agreed with conservatives and libertarians on a number of issues. I opposed childhood gender transitions, unlawful and divisive DEI mandates, and the excesses of Critical Race Theory. I argued against biological males competing in women’s sports and being housed in women’s prisons. I did so loudly and publicly, losing many friends along the way.

Today, some of those same attorneys I worked with are advocating for my right to marry my fiancée to be stripped away.

I fell for obvious right-wing propaganda and rationalized the hate with reason and logic. Now the hate machine is coming for me and that's not fair!

99% of American politics makes sense once you understand that MAGA = Narcissist.

That's how black/gay/whatever person ends up MAGA. Their narcissism is stronger than their cultural/racial/whatever identity.

The choices they make, the way propaganda is able to work on them, the evil shit they can talk themselves into supporting? It's all fueled by narcissism.

    they also believe if they are well off enough, whites will seem them as equals, whites only see them as TOKENs at best. i saw some asian tubers that slowly became magaty over covid, albiet quite lazily. they think if they say the same talking points they get more views, add a little mysogyny too.

    The fuck are you on about? Are you implying white people cannot be gay, lesbian, trans, or a woman?

    You seem to be under the impression that only white men can be racist or misogynist, but if you ever meet people from anywhere in the world, you'll find that it's the same everywhere.

    No, but the "white people" we are talking about would consider a white gay person, a gay person, and a white woman, is a woman.
