So bad we went so woke, it was a happier world before.

This is what I don't understand. Yes, corporations pander to marginalised demographics, but I have not once seen them lose significant income or have been boycotted. Fascist corporations, meanwhile, lost customers and stocks like Target and Tesla.
Like really, who's going broke? Methinks this is projection from the right, or disinformation from state or non-state actors alike to keep the population divided.
To be right wing is to be ruled by emotions. Humans are all emotional creatures, but for some people it reaches a point where emotion alone creates reality. Facts are there to be picked up or set aside to support feelings. When their guy eats ice cream it's because he's a man of the people. When your guy eats ice cream it's because he's a baby. Facts don't matter. It's feelings.
And most of their feelings seem to be fear. Fear of loss. Fear of humiliation. You can show them stats and history demonstrating how, like, a diverse workforce leads to higher productivity and greater happiness, but that doesn't matter. They're not looking at facts. They're feeling feelings.
Imagine trying to talk to someone who's drunk. That's the right wing, except all the time and they can't really sober up. Honestly, it sounds like hell.
Yo, don't compare my drunk ass to those people. When I'm drunk I only get 100% more talkative and like 500% more gay.
