"justice involved people" . . .

More examples of why there are people who love Trump. No joke:

https://fortunesociety.org/wordsmatter/
This nonsense is not just some fringe wacko movement; wacko is gradually becoming mainstream. The president of our country had to apologize for truthfully referring to a person who was in our country illegally as "illegal". Instead he changed it to "undocumented" and apologized. That's why you have people willing to overlook Trump's rotten character; because he confronts this idiocy head-on with gusto. Embracing or allowing this woke nonsense only inspires and empowers people like Trump and wackos who support him. You can hate Trump's guts and despise MAGA, and be a good liberal democrat, all while refusing to accept the absurd woke narrative.
Why are we allowing ourselves to be brainwashed into accepting this ridiculous bullshid, as if our only choice is one of two extremes?

If you're pointing out that Trump is a hypocrite or liar, once again, as is your pattern, you have missed the point due to your extreme tunnelvision perspective of the universe where everything in existence is viewed through a pro/anti Trump lens, and everything must be one or the other.

That's cool, it's just our opinions. I mistook your response for your belief that I was somehow defending or supporting Trump. I'm just explaining, in my opinion, why so many people do, and it's because they fear the wacko left, which is a very justified concern, as I demonstrated that wacko leftist crap is gradually becoming more mainstream. And yes, I agree, it takes some rationalizing and blindmess to support Trump, that's why I stated "That's why you have people willing to overlook Trump's rotten character". I'm just explaining why people are doing that. It's a wacko response to wacko reality. Why is it so hard to admit that? I know that doing so would spoil your role as T-Net left-wing troll, but come on man.
I don't just admit it, I have been shouting from the rooftops for a long time that Trump is a scumbag. Can you admit without qualification that the wokeism presented in my original post is wacko leftist lunacy?

masquerading as legitimate social concerns.
The examples I have given are attempts to appeal to target groups by suppressing commonly understood accurate, truthful, language. It doesn't change a thing, but it's an attempt to make certain people feel better about the bad things they have done.

Does "wokeism" only apply to the left? "Weaponized personal grievances" sounds like the playbook for DADDY. In fact, whining like a little girl over what words are used sounds like your definition of "wokeness" to me. Congrats, you seem to be "woke". Your projection is hilarious and never gets old.

Do you recognize that feeling the need to apologize for referring to a person who is in fact an illegal immigrant as an illegal immigrant is wacko leftist insanity?
Do you recognize the absurdity of referring to criminals as "justice involved people"?
Do you recognize that this madness is being normalized and is creeping into the mainstream?

When did Biden "apologize" for using the word "illegal" instead of undocumented? Do you even know what the word means?
Sorry that I don't understand why using the term "justice involved people" would want to make "conservative" people choose a draft dodger who cheats on his wife with pron stars over any other rational republican candidate. It seems YOU are the one who is "woke" by getting all triggered over words. Projection much?

discouraged not to speak the truth because it may offend people who have done something wrong. It's the suppression of truth and free speech to protect people who have chosen to do bad things that's the problem, and the normalizing and acceptance of the behaviors that comes with it.
People who are here illegally are illegal. That's what they are, and we shouldn't have to apologize for speaking that simple truth. Ig people don't want to be called "illegal", then don't be illegal. Simple.
Yes, Biden most certainly walked back referring to the illegal as "illegal", sayin he regretted using that term, and should have used "undocumented". That, by definition, is an apology. This is an perfect example of the insanity - somehow it's wrong to refer to someone who's a murdering career criminal ss "illegal". What about the poor girl he slaughtered? What about her feelings? What about the feelings of her parents and family and friends? They don't matter, but by God we have to protect the feelings of the illegals and the criminals.

But you said it's because he stood up to this wackiness. However, all the other Pub candidates did to. But even more importantly, Trump isn't really standing up against it. You can go back into his history as well and show he was probably a contributor to it.
You also neglect that for all the wacko leftist stuff, the fringe rightwing nutjob contingent has brought just as much lunacy, and that's what has cause so many people to reject Trump.

At least the right wing doesn’t believe a man can be a woman. And that we are automatically racist because of our skin color. And that we should pay reparations for slavery. And that we should hire someone based on being gay or their skin color instead of meritocracy. And that murdering unborn babies is ok. And that men can play women’s sports. And that we should be flying millions of illegals into the country.

There’s plenty of idiocy to go around. Depending on an 81 year old to “save our democracy” seems like poor planning.
Dems instead of nominating someone much younger who would swamp Trump have thrown down with the feeble octogenarian.
Pubs instead of choosing someone not named Trump have wasted a golden opportunity to retire Joe permanently to Rehoboth Beach.
It’s remarkable how we have come to this place.

Yeah, typical, the person with permanent TDS and hates Trump more than anything, knows why people follow Trump.
ST is right, and you are wrong. People follow Trump because, amongst all his flaws, he does have a bead on what is non-sense in the leftist culture.
Just look at the bullchit you people so easily become convinced of: walls don't work, genders do not matter, etc.
----------------
I have wrote about this many times, people who think with common sense based on time-tested morals, ethics, and judgments on right and wrong cannot understand woke-ism and won't understand it.
We have all heard liberalism (or more accurately) progressivism is a sickness - a mental illness. There is a lot of truth in that statement.
What is mental illness or any illness? When someone's state or condition strays from the norms of society. We all get the standard blood work-up, right? What is it doing? It is comparing our personal data to the 'normal' data found in the population.
Indeed there could be brain chemistry that causes people to be so susceptible to stupidness (wokeness). You can bet, however, there will never be a study on it because too many of the people with the condition would be the ones to study it.

Why people blindly adore Trump, and it doesn't have to do with what you said.
There are some who actually think he was sent by God and that he doesn't have any of the character flaws you mentioned. The Trump adoration is far more complex, and Biden apologizing for calling someone illegal isn't what's driving people to him. This is a phenomena we have seen other times in history with other demagogue leaders. It's way more complex than what you describe.

extremely small sample size, but I have a lot of friends, coworkers, and neighbors who are supporting Trump because they feel he is the only one who will stand up to the wacky left, which they can see is becoming more mainstream and normalized. Of course, I understand it's not that simple, and that doesn't explain the whole phenomenon. I know some people are enamored and mesmerized by a loud, domineering, charismatic figure like Trump; very cultish. I maintain, however, that such a figure can only thrive under certain conditions, at certain points in history, and those conditions have been created in large part by the wacky left.

Mar 20, 2012, 11:57 PM

Do you care about breaking cycles of poverty created by carrying around a charge? There is a massive stigma on hiring people with records and much of that is culturally imposed and reinforced with language that brands people with a crime they committed (or didn't commit) that they have moved on from and are ready for another chance. What happens then? They reoffend because they can't get steady employment, or find housing. I prefer to use terms that aren't intentionally dehumanizing and want to work towards making re-entry easier for people so we can actually use the justice system to rehabilitate rather than permanently punish.
