Get woke, go broke strikes yet again!
Jokes aside, as an European watching from the outside the US seems extremely segregated atm and no good can come out of this. Even if I don't agree with laws that prohibit lgbt-people from living their lives or women to get an abortion this feels a bit childish.
I've been in California and I have also been in Utah which seems on other side of the spectrum. While I am not religious, Utah seemed a lot nicer to me with less societal problems.
I think the different states and their views on the world could probably learn a lot from each other.
- ev1 5y agoI don't feel like this is necessarily too far on the overly woke side, but how the hell has it come out that such a large part of the US hates women, non-heterosexuals, women's rights, voter suppression, etc. How did it get to such a state that so many places find it acceptable to pass things criminalising LGBT or abortions?

- mistrial9 5y agoperhaps it is a perception encouraged by shrill and repeated exaggeration by partisans, more than reality ?
- quantified 5y agoThis country has tended to start off conservative and Puritan, and relax that mentality sometimes. Following the raging conservatism of the early 1900’s, I think the question is how did these things get decriminalized? Answer: the courts, who need to consider justice in a way politicians don’t. No one’s marriage fell apart because same-sex couples began marrying. No one’s marriage fell apart because different races could marry (except when that marriage was shaky anyway, segregation by day and integration by night it was said). No one’s getting hurt by LBGT+ being able to participate without worry.
