Wokism is to the left what magaism is to the right. Unfortunately each side keeps trying to out edgelord each other with provocative acts. It forces people to pick a side based on reaction. It does nothing but further the divide. It definitely helps the people in power keep us divided by making us think that the other side is after something we can’t seem to live without. They continue to exploit us day in and day out

You of course realize that Vermont isn’t some liberal Mecca. We have a lot of problems with racism and homophobia. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/26/us/politics/kiah-morris-vermont.html and https://www.sevendaysvt.com/vermont/its-a-really-tough-time-vandal-throws-rock-through-front-door-of-pride-center/Content?oid=35433630&media=AMP+HTML to name just a few. We even had to appoint someone in public office. https://governor.vermont.gov/press-release/governor-phil-scott-appoints-xusana-davis-vermont’s-first-racial-equity-executive.

But do you really want to put more stress on our already fragile ecosystem here? Covid has drawn so many people into this state that we are starting to see the stress cracks in everything here. While I don’t think anyone should have to live in actual fear I think the media has sensationalized a lot of the actual hate towards lgbqt peeps
