The app for independent voices

Love all the commentary, and am amazed at how much DEI has been so much a part of the conversation, in my non-profit and volunteer efforts, in the last week alone! The speed at which this taking over is head-spinning. All I want to say is that this term "woke" deeply disturbs me because I liken the word to being "awake, or awakened" (enlightened) and therefore if you differ in viewpoint, you are somehow "asleep" or unenlightened. I wholeheartedly disagree. Being "woke" is synonymous with being "duped", or fooled, or foiled, and the opposing view remains on that of objective empirical truth. I believe there is also a similarity between that and being a TRUE liberal, instead of a totalitarian leftist, unable to tolerate dissent or anything that threatens their (self-imposed) arrogant elitist positions.
