    Anyone who uses, “woke” unironically in this context is a fucking idiot. It’s great that they so readily self-identify.

    Ironic because Dummielle Smith supports gay marriage. Isn’t that woke?

    Yet another Conservative moron talking about the woke bogeyman. Fuck this asshole and the hateful, intolerant horse he rode in on.

    Edit: typo

    Conservatives: Local government knows best, unless we don’t agree!

    The amount of useless meddling these conservatives do just pisses me off. How much money is it going to cost for them to police paper straws? Fiscal responsibility my ass!

        Yuuuuup! Especially silly when I work with someone who rides their bike in every day. They are a hardcore UCP and Trump supporter. They complain when the bike paths are not cleared in the winter.

      No no, it’s actually: Fiscal Responsibility™

      Which is completly different from being fiscally responsible.

    What’s the best way to meaningfully push back on this type of divisive politics?

      In our current world? Money.

      Support politicians and businesses that do not align with this. Boycott businesses that do.

      Donate/volunteer with anti racism/pro-lgbtqia+ groups. Go to protests. Write your local politicians. Make sure those in power know you do not stand with that bullshit.

      It might not feel like a “big” thing (if that’s what you mean by meaningful) but if we were all willing to do it, it would make a difference.

        The only people who ignore them are the people who would never support them anyway. It still gets them plenty of attention from their target demographic
