We're all guilty on this forum of rejecting
information and data by who's presenting it.
And that's fair enough. One would hope that we
should strive for and lean towards information
that can be verified, is evidence based, hopefully
had been peer-reviewed,
fact-checked, and preferably is not biased.
And, it does happen that we succeed. Yet despite
this - people will still reject the information
if it does not agree with their world view or
ideologies.

Par for the course on public forums - as we all well
know - or should know.

BTW rache - you have the foresight to understand
that none of us are able to change the opinions,
beliefs, and behaviours of others

Take no notice of the baying of the
hounds at your heels and simply walk away from
the insults. We need to simply preserve our sanity
and respect our own opinions and be wise enough to
realize that we can not change the unhealthy beliefs, and
behaviours of certain people. Repeating one's journey when
it only leads to dead-ends is a waste of time and not
very productive.

Being WOKE means a rewrite of History that offends a woke person and the removal of all statues of persons that represent opression.

To be WOKE might mean you are vegan and actively oppose anyone that eats or uses domestic animal products.

We are looking at World Views and there are many, it does not mean all are irrational, but it does mean one will stand out above the rest as having higher ideals.

The WOKE do not like aspirations to higher ideals as it offends the under chievers. That is why advanced Mathmatics is seen by the Woke as opressive. That white skin is considered by WOKE as racist opressive because they have achieved higher ideals. Even black skin is racist and betraying their race if they have ideas of high achievement. Everyone is supposed to be equal in a WOKE world.

Americans are abandoning the Democratic party and joining the Republican party instead, because Americans feel safer with the GOP. A new Gallup poll which was released on Monday which indicated that Americans are fleeing the Democrat Party in droves for the Republican Party.

The Gallup poll stated:
“[In] the first quarter, 49% of Americans identified as Democrats or leaned Democratic, compared with 40% who were Republicans or Republican leaners.
In the second quarter, Democratic affiliation stayed high, while Republican affiliation began to recover, increasing to 43%.
The third quarter saw a decline in Democratic identification and leaning, from 49% to 45%, as Biden’s ratings began to falter, while there was no meaningful change in Republican affiliation.
In the fourth quarter, party support flipped as Republicans made gains, from 44% to 47%, and Democratic affiliation fell from 45% to 42%.”

We need to simply preserve our sanity
