Go woke go broke??? :'(

Yeah, the term is really idiotic. Out of the many right wing propaganda, that one never stuck, thankfully.

According to survey, the vast majority of Americans still believe in diversity. It is only the tiny miniscule of loud minority who keep harping as if "go woke go broke" is a popular sentiment, when in reality it's not.

But don't be complacent and think Americans would never turn around from believing in diversity. If all eligible voters of Americans turned up on the election, only 30% voted for Trump. A similar amount of minority of eligible voters elected Hitler and the Nazis. It was only with sustained propaganda once the Nazis became firmly in control of the government that the Germans became steeped in the cult of group think, and forgot any semblance of humanity. With Project 2025, indoctrinating Americans is part of a similar agenda.

Edit: wording

And yet, knowing these facts, many idealists on this site still bleat about sitting out at election time because both candidates are capitalists.

And if they're reading this: Yes, you're virtually useless idealists.

Never stuck because reality always disagrees?

Or never stuck in the lexicon?

Because I still work with chuds who sprout this garbage out.

Never stuck because companies who are accused as "woke" actually never lost customers.
