[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, if he were saying the same thing, but talking about, say, conservative parents and reversing the names of the politicians, you wouldn't bat an eye.

Also, super weird that you think a pizza guy shouldn't have political views that differ from a rich person. [/quote]

Here’s the thing:
We don’t talk about or even think about “conservative parents” unless you’re doing batsh#t crazy things like trying to ban books or threatening our teachers or local school board. Like, you’re not a topic of conversation in our lives unless you’re getting up to some crazy-ass stuff. Going back to your point - I would definitely be weirded out if someone I knew said “Conservative parents must be destroyed and eliminated.” However, the more likely scenario is that such words would never be uttered because I surround myself with stable people.

This gets to the rub of the matter: 
[b]why does “Woke” - a fictional concept - live rent-free in conservatives’ heads?[/b] [/quote]

I can't speak for conservatives because I am liberal.  However, some of the craziest woke ideas are actually being implemented in progressive places such as NoVA and MoCo.  Normal people of all political affiliations are fed up and they're starting to push back.[/quote]

What are these woke ideas, exactly?[/quote]The worst is allowing males to play girls' sports in school.  Doing this in K-5 is OK, in middle school is less OK, in high school is completely insane and anti-science.[/quote]

That’s not a woke idea. That’s the result of a SCOTUS decision penned by Justice Gorsuch before Biden was even elected. [/quote]Come on man.  That wasn't a real case.  "The Supreme Court’s brief order, which let stand an appeals court’s temporary injunction, gave no reasons, which is not unusual when the justices rule on emergency applications filed on what critics call the court’s shadow docket."  We'll soon see a real case and the Supreme Court will prohibit males from playing girls' sports because this is what most sane people believe is fair.  And you'll be right back here screeching about it and begging Biden to pack the court.  So yes, allowing males to compete in girls' sports is woke, anti-science, and discriminatory against 50% of the population.  [/quote]

I’m talking about Bostock, which was a real case. The court did not grant cert to Virginia in the Grimm case.

I don’t give a damn about sports, and I never will, but let’s not pretend a bunch of libs voted for Gorsuch to make this happen, mmkay? [/quote]Come on man.  That's not related to what I said, even a little.  Bostock was about being fired for being gay.  No one should be fired for being gay or trans.  I said "the worst is allowing males to play girls' sports in school."  This is woke, insane, illiberal, and discriminatory to girls (the female kind) who play and DO care about sports.

Trans athletes hasn't been a function of legislative, executive or judiciary politics, instead it's been the NCAA et cetera.  Not saying I agree with it, but there's a lot of vague accusatory gesturing around at "they" (as in some grand liberal scheme) doing this, when most of us as voters, and most politicians haven't even remotely had a say in it.   Frankly there's far too much of that vague accusatory gesturing going on of late.

There's also far too much misprioritization going on.  As an example, while I agree that trans athletes in competitive sports is a problem, for me it ranks far far below kids getting shot in schools, educational achievement gaps, dropout rates, the seeming epidemic of ADHD and other childrens health issues, and a whole host of much more important issues affecting kids than the one-in-a-million chance of having a trans athlete compete against them, and it's frankly insulting and annoying as hell to continue having all of that shoved aside for this one dumb pet issue du jour of conservatives to completely take over and drown everything else out.
