WTF?

Do you have any idea how unpopular wokeness is outside of liberal bubbles?

Being anti-woke is possibly the only thing the entire Republican coalition agrees on (other than about Trump himself). I know people personally who agree with Dems on many issues, but vote Republican largely because they hate how woke the Democrats have gotten. They view wokeness as a form of censorship of them, much the same way we view book-banning and attempts to remove minorities, LGBT people, and climate change from school curriculums. Democrats need to stop being performatively woke and start doing things that actually improve people's lives.

Have you considered that the views Republicans hold SHOULD be censored?

Seriously, most functioning democracies ban hate speech.

Like it or not, those views you want to censor are held by a large majority of Americans. Good luck trying to win elections by telling most of the country that their views should be censored.

And, apparently unlike you, I actually believe that the First Amendment is a good thing.
