You're beyond reason. Any critic of Trump is immediately "woke" and "virtue signaling".

Don't you care when he threatens war with our allies? When he praises foreign fascists? When he pardoned all Jan 6 rioters, that he previously claimed were all antifa? When he is made above the law by an obviously partisan supreme court? When he passes budgetary laws without congress with no repercussions whatsoever? When he promised that "we won't have to vote ever again"?


I was responding directly to something the person said, continuing their discussion:

> The maniacal blaming for every problem. The incessant injection of Trump and secondarily politics into every conversation and every facet of life. This…neo-activism is as caustic of a solution as the disease it attempts to inoculate.

The explanation for that is that Trump is selected to provoke that response precisely because those activists are themselves toxic people.


The last thing to do when confronted with a would-be autocrat is to shut up. That's how they consolidate their powers past the point of no returns. Clearly, with him winning the popular vote despite Jan 6, promising we'd never have to vote again, and gaining total immunity before the law, there was a big problem of communication.

Wanting to preserve democracy is not toxic, however way you want to spin it.
