It is important to recognize that Trump has shown courage in confronting some ideologically established internal powers. I am referring to the way he has fought woke culture , revoking some norms of political correctness, such as gender ideology.

There is no courage in attacking the disenfranchised.
What is more, there are no “ideologically established internal powers” dealing in “woke culture”. People deviating from social norms in benign ways have no power over the government, simply because they cannot provide any incentive, either positive or negative (enticement or fear), to act in their interests, contrary to, for example, the plutocratic class (who bribe, legally or otherwise, politicians) or violent groups (who exert pressure with threats of violence, like militias).
So many losing their jobs. So many questioning their previous loyalty to that which has ultimately betrayed them.
An attack on ‘Woke’ indeed: on those who have awoken to the concept of ’Voter’s Regret’.
You’d better wake up and smell the covfefe as a new concept awakens two years from now, Don Old Fart: Revenge Voting.
“I am referring to the way he has fought woke culture , revoking some norms of political correctness, such as gender ideology.”
Which is going to get cisgendered people harrassed and threatened. Any woman that is insufficiently ‘feminine’ in the eyes of an arresting officer or jail warden is at risk of being strip-searched by a male officer.
This is ‘courage’ to you? The fucking coward can’t even fire someone face to face. He fires by text, preferably when they’re out of state.
Trump’s indifference to political norms has resulted in him doing some good things but only by accident. In his first term he arraigned for the pull out of Afghanistan, something no other politician would touch. He didn’t pull the US out because he realized the US had failed to stop the Taliban, he pulled out because he didn’t care about the people who lived in Afghanistan or previous US commitments.
The same logic has led him to do some terrible things, like not strongly backing Ukraine.
Confused?
