I wouldn't say that I would support the murder of Trump, but I would support his being removed from office in any legal way possible. Of course, IMO, Trump is not actually the origin of all the horrendous things he's doing. It's the people behind Project 2025 who are in charge. Even if Trump were to be somehow removed, the destruction of our democratic republic would still continue. 😞

I don't agree with everything you said about Israelis warning Palestinians before any attack, but I do agree that this fighting over territory has gone on since 1947/1948. If you take a look at how the map of Palestine/Israel has changed over that time, you'll see the Israelis have taken most of the land that used to be Palestinian. This is the origin of the problem, and, IMO, it won't go away unless other countries step in and enforce the 1947/1948 land distribution.

I prefer to just make anti-Trump remarks. They just come naturally to me. 😉 But, I think anyone on any type of visa should have that visa revoked if they "commit" (charged, go through due process, and are convicted) of a "serious crime" (felony). I don't believe most of these students fit that requirement.

Androgyny is the term used for people who are a mix of male/female.

Men (or women) should not be able to just "say" they are women (men) to make it medically true. They would have to undergo a medical diagnosis on their physical attributes, chromosomes, and/or hormone levels, to make their claim medically true. The real problem is not whether their claims are medically true. The real problem is can they just "say" they are women or men to make that SOCIALLY true.

You obviously know nothing about biology. It is not a digital-either/or approach. It is an analog/curved line approach.

I disagree with you. I believe the people who say they are somewhere in between have different physical, chromosomal, and/or hormonal levels than those who claim to be one or the other.

Really; then please tell me what other biological genders there are apart from male and female …. many thanks "Male" and "female" are the two polar ends of the gender spectrum, which is biologically defined using physical traits, chromosomes, and hormones. All of us, including you and me, are somewhere in between the "perfect" extremes of male and female. I admit that most of us are very close to one of the extremes, but there are a significant number that are closer to one of the extremes, and a few that are closer to the middle. "Male" and "female" biologically, are to gender as "tall" and "short" are to height. There are a lot of people in between.

I am a far-left liberal and despise Trump and almost everything he does. This cancellation of student visas is, however, one of the worst recent offenses. I don't know how he can be stopped, but however that could happen, I'd be all for it. 😡

Yes! And I'm sure this won't be the last one...

I agree. The demand that gender be only male and female is not biologically sound. There are some people who are somewhere in between those two designations.

The title should read, "...Lack of Progress, Pain, and Broken Promises." Of which, the first and last I applaud.

I do consider myself "woke," and believe I have been for at least 40 years." I deny the negative meaning because it is not the way I define "woke," and it is not the way I am. The negative connotation of "woke" is being used by people who are not in favor of the characteristics that "woke" means, which can be summed up in one word: empathy. I don't really care if anyone criticizes me. I listen, and if I agree with their criticism, I will change my actions. If I disagree with their criticism, I note it but don't act on it.

Wow! I agree with everything you said above. Communism is not " about a working man getting a fair share of the profits from his labour." In communism, people contribute to society the best they can, and all the assets of society are shared equally, regardless of race or gender (or trans gender). I didn't know about the other historical "facts" about Marx. He means nothing to me. I only associate him and the term "Marxist" with communism. Thanks for the history lesson. So, are you indeed, as you've said, a "Marxist"? And if so, what does that mean?

"Woke" is not only concerned with Trump. Trump is not the edge of the cliff; he's just a bump in the road (hopefully).

That isn't the definition of "woke" being used. No wonder you have no idea what is going on. 🙄 That is the definition of "woke" that Merriam-Webster and I use. What definition do you use? Of course I know what's going on. "...aware of and actively attentive to important societal facts and issues...'" is the very definition of "woke." 😐

No I'm a Marxist. Wow! After that response, I had to look at your original post again to see what you said. You said, "No, I don't think about you at all." If you are indeed a Marxist, I would think you'd be a communist and would think about me and all people in everything you do. Where am I getting this wrong?

FOR ONCE, WE ARE IN AGREEMENT! I agree with everything you've said above. Are you becoming "woke"? 😄

Not seen many of the woke far left caring about Trump. The exact opposite actually. Selective wokeness Read Merriam-Webster's definition again, or try to find another one online. Or, make one up yourself. That's what anti-woke folks do all the time.

Isn't it possible that the assertion that there are many conspiracy theories is a conspiracy theory designed to make us stop believing what we see on TV news and read on social media? 😮

No, I knew the poster humorously interpreted "ME" to refer to me and not himself. You obviously did not appreciate the humor in my reply.

You say this because you are not "woke." You can support both sides of an argument. One side of an argument is not necessarily absolutely correct, and the other side wrong. If you believed that, you would not understand the existence of trans people. You'd think there are only two genders, and nothing in between. Woke people, like me, do have opinions. I express them here on AseaNow forums all the time. That doesn't mean I agree with everyone, especially you, but I do believe I understand where you are coming from and why you hold the opinions you do. i do support your right to express them. In my opinion, no one should hit anyone else in any sport, boxing included. What kind of "sport" is it where you intend to hurt someone else? So, no, men shouldn't hit women or other men, and women shouldn't hit men or other women as some kind of "sport." I'd only agree with hitting someone else in self-defense, and then men could hit both women and men, and women could hit both men and women.

Sorry, but I don't care about you at all. So, assuming you consider yourself to be on the "right," that supports what I just wrote above.

I absolutely disagree... Woke people care about both the person being hit in a boxing match and the person hitting them. Woke people care about children being indoctrinated in schools by not telling them the truth about history and forbidding them from learning about certain subjects. Woke people care about almost everything. Their sentiment is "in whatever you do, do it with care for other people."

"Anti-woke" people don't care about anyone but themselves. "Woke, " according to the online Merriam-Webster dictionary, means: "aware of and actively attentive to important societal facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice)". So it's "woke" people who care about you.
