Did I say that making a stand or bringing out the big guns is bad? No. I said that this specific instance (writing a letter to Tim Cook), him saying "No", and remote advocates having to find work elsewhere means that everything do

State lines? No. But there are many ongoing efforts to fight gerrymandering if you are interested. However, that is one piece. I'm not sure how effective that would be in the short/medium term.

The study you pointed to indicates that these psychopathic/narcissistic traits apply to virtuous victimhood signalers on both the woke ("Recognize your privilege") and the anti-woke ("The real racists are all on the left

That's not true at all. A lot of Americans vote based on former politicians' recommendations (e.g. endorsements from the president, respresentatives, or other elected officials), or they just vote straight down the party line. In

People seem to be fine with religion for the most part. If you want to root out dogmatic thinking, then shun religious thinking from both the Woke religion and the socially expected Christian religion. Of course, if conservatives were more
