Yes. One of the many passages that got my attention was this:

Quantitative studies cited by Ungar-Sargon indicate that the use of terminology associated with woke politics, such as “racism,” “people of color,” “slavery,” “white supremacy,” and “oppression,” has skyrocketed in the American mainstream media precisely since 2011.

I believe the Red Team here has commented on this. If a shooting can be connected to any of these terms, it get mega-coverage. If not, it dies young.

We are still stalking about the Uvalde shooting. And Sandy Hook. And countless others that had nothing to do with your phrases in quotes.

I know it is a typo, but...stalking? Is that a Freudian slip?

IAC, yes, add kids to the list, especially kids who are POC.

Was there anything in the quote you disagree with?

Which quote?

*edit* assume it's italics looking back. No... and I've been clear that woke ideology is a big problem in the USA and it massively turns off moderate people/voters.

Actual woke ideology is a problem. Woke is the new communism to conservatives - a word that has lost nearly all of its meaning and has become a placeholder for anything that isn't liked.
