Re: Reverse Wokeism is worse
In effect, what you have is a wealthy elite that have weaponized media in order to outsource their own PR/propaganda/public defense to gullible and disaffected individuals. The fascist engine works by transmuting populist anger (partially created by wealth inequality and stoked social issues) into focused political power - a "strong" authoritarian leader. If you look at what right wingers say vs what they ignore, only one viable conclusion emerges: The rhetoric is a smokescreen. They only care about power, preservation of power, and withholding of power from people they don't like. And they'll use any rhetoric to mask the fascist desires lurking in the muck of their souls, even if it means contradicting themselves 10 seconds later. All the while contributing to a festering crab-bucket mentality that drives intra-class conflict.
Don't look for logical or semantic consistency across fascists' statements and beliefs: the real commonalities are who they affect in that moment: protecting themselves and their in-groups, or hurting anyone that "threatens" that. And by the way some behave, existence alone can seem a threat. They use their moralistic cultural warmongering through the media to punish their political opponents - not because they have principles - but because they desperately need to distract from their own behavior and they need to turn their economic war into a more palatable cultural one that the average, poor authoritarian idiot has a stake in.

There is a movement trying to get Rupert Murdoch deported. He's a foreigner who came here to interfere in our elections and undermine our democracy.

Re: Reverse Wokeism is worse
I highly approve of the movement to get Murdoch deported. He obviously hates the very idea of democracy and is eager to promote any lie or conspiracy theory, however egregious, that he thinks will further his hateful, racist agenda.
No precept or claim is more suspect or more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

I hate that those with a fascist bent have taken the Buddhist concept of "being woke" and turned it into an expression that they revile. Can't we return to the established Mormon Discussion terms of PROGRESSIVES and regressives?

"Red States" ? BS...
a large percentage of fundamentalist "Christians" feel threatened by anything that ain't white, ain't down with kiddie diddling, and ain't down damned over anyone that ain't them. That crap happens in all states damned near, red, blue or motherfucking purple.
