Exactly! "Why are you making everything about politics?"
I'm a gay person in a red state with first-gen immigrants and trans people in my family. I don't have the luxury not to "make everything political." The fact that I exist is political to these people!
They also have a real affinity for the time-tested "BOTH SIDES ARE BAD" argument, the absolute most sure-fire tell of a right-winger.
Let's live like a community.
Unless you're gay or trans or non-religious. While you're doing community activities with me, I'm going to spend every other waking moment trying to get your human rights taken away.
But when I have time, we'll schedule some of those community things.
Careful. Hexbear caught your scent.
Now you'll get a whole bunch of them replying to you nonstop for a couple of days.
I do use woke unironically, but in a prideful way. Eg, Brooklyn 99; “He means he was arrested for being black! Get woke, Scully!!”
Fair enough! I always thought that "woke" should be a good thing.
Same with SJW -- it's actually a positive thing to fight for social justice! Like, thanks for the compliment, I guess...
