For your entire life? How old are you? "Woke" was not even a word widely used in a political context until maybe the past 3 or 4 years.

In any case, precisely what does that word mean to you? That word has changed quite a bit in meaning over the years.

In any case, why is your aversion to "wokeness," whatever you mean by that, so much more important to you than issues like health care?

I'm actually 39 years old, so my formative years were in the 90s, 00s, and 10s, so this may explain something.... OK, so I don't think maybe they started really to use "Woke" that much until the middle years or the Obama term, but I think before maybe PC-culture, Political Correctness, is what I would call it ?... You know, it's really kind of nebulous, but I would say it's this huge kind-of hidden hand ideology that absolutely rules the entire West, like the iron fist in a velvet glove... I can honestly say, over time, I've come to realise that a lot of this stuff like going at it over dickie "issues" like they want people to channel on like health-care and taxes is absolutely meaningless, compared to what actually runs things kind-of like what I've outlined in my postings here. I'm not saying some of this smaller stuff isn't important in isolation, but in my opinion it's kind of the "allowed area of disagreement" that they let you argue over "whether or not the rich pay 25% to 35% in taxes," but in the end they don't care and that's just the bone they throw you like they pretend like they allow you to check them into the boards, when in realty the actual nature of power and control is happening on a completely different plane.
