Doctor, I’m so screwed. You see the news about the FBI raiding neocon John Bolton’s home? Oh man, I’m so screwed.
The New York Times just reported we’re hemorrhaging millions and millions of Democratic votes to those damn Republicans. And now Politico has come up with lists of stupid woke words we should ban to just to maintain our authenticity.
Authenticity? What authenticity?
“Among the blacklisted terms: privilege … violence (as in “environmental violence”) … dialoguing … triggering … othering … microaggression … holding space … body shaming … subverting norms … systems of oppression … cultural appropriation … Overton window … existential threat to [the climate, democracy, economy] … radical transparency … stakeholders … the unhoused … food insecurity … housing insecurity … person who immigrated … birthing person … cisgender … deadnaming … heteronormative … patriarchy … LGBTQIA+ … BIPOC … allyship … incarcerated people … involuntary confinement.”
We need charisma like I had. Not a bunch of fools singing “Mama Look at BooBoo” to make the white folks happy.
We need to be real.
