A lot of the anti-woke backlash is people still upset by how approximately two dozen people posted online between 2017 and 2021.

There’s no term to describe this other than a coup attempt and no one talks about it, it’s understated how much the evil of Trump has been swept away and trivialised

For anyone who has followed the ongoing saga of my gardener who has been in ICE custody twice and had his truck impounded, I've confirmed he is in fact a U.S. citizen, so his crime was Being a Latino Gardener in Plain Daylight.
