Woke-ism, multiculturalism, all the -isms — they're not who America is. They distort our glorious founding and what this country is all about. Our enemies stoke these divisions because they know they make us weaker.

THey're not who America is

So, let's see...

Censorship = posting memes on twitter, giving interviews on network news, being quoted in newspapers. Got it.

Woke = belief in social Justice and that Blacks should not be executed in the streets for loose cigarettes and illegal left turns, and that police should escort them to an insurrection. Got it.

Political Correctness = tact and common decency prevent me from saying n****r, n****r, n****r, bitch, bitch, bitch, fa88ot, fa88ot, fa88ot. GOt it.

Authoritarianism = Laws for me? WTF? Law's for thee. Why do I have to follow the law? GOt it.

It's been stripped of all veneer except white racial resentment at having to agree that women, Blacks, Latinos and other marginalized groups are, in fact, fully human.
