I woke up this morning at about 7:45AM.... I was awakened by my cat pounding on my door to be let in, and fed, When I was completely awake, I got out of bed and let the cat in.
Yes I was aware that the cat was outside, wanted to come in. does that make me "WOKE"? I suppose so, and I'm guessing...
"Woke" merely means being aware of what's going on around you. You HATE that?
I would think that a guy who claims to be in complete control of his environment would welcome other people being "Woke"....
It's not just the USA.
That aside, I think the main culprit here is video games, and violent internet content, along with many, many mini-Jim Jones' who want to be followed over the cliff, and many, many, many, video addled supplicants willing to follow anyone with the tiniest bit of charisma...
Even if every sitting republican denounced the attack on P Pelosi, and called for an end to the false election fraud narrative, and swore to stop spreading lies, there would be the same nut jobs doing the same stuff, they'd just have a wider array of targets, and a new crop of Boeberts, MTGs...
Well, it's probably a good thing those security cameras were so visible to the police. Otherwise they might have put a knee on Depape's neck until he stopped breathing... Oh, wait! He's not black!
I think that (probably) the urges to violence are about equal on both side. I think the propensity to act on those urges is strongly tilted to the right.
