Same. This era has exposed them as the shameless hypocrites they are.

There is not and has never been any trace of free speech or free market "ideology" from Trump. Perhaps as a talking point but never in any policy or action. Trump is the anti-libertarian, severely authoritarian and moving things toward a centrally planned economy!

It was always about power accumulation. Integrity, honesty, and principles is literally what they mean by the word "woke" when they harass people for being it.

  > Integrity, honesty, and principles is literally what they mean by the word "woke" No it isn't, and saying things like this just adds noise. What they mean by the word "woke" is a worldview that delegitimises the things they aspire to or worked hard for (status based on power based on individual agency), and prioritises other forms of social currency (victimisation by external forces) in a way they find performative.

    Didn't you just say exactly the same thing as the parent comment?

      I can't tell if this is trolling. If you genuinely don't think that each side has principles, which in fact overlap considerably, you aren't very curious about the world. ETA: In case you are genuinely interested in learning about how liberal and conservative people differ psychologically, Jonathan Haidt is a very good person to read.

        One groups principles are hierarchy, control, and cruelty. Arbitrary corrupt incompetency is what they're looking for. Caring about other, having respect, being sensitive, these are all 'woke' things from the "great awakening" cult. I want more affordable college and the people in charge want to send people like me to concentration camps through kangaroo courts. This is the difference.

    The people who go on about “woke” are the most performative victims of all. Invoking the word “woke” for things they don’t like is a form of that performative victimization.
