Rep. Paul Gosar blamed the drop in white recruits on the army’s supposed “woke Marxist ideologies.”

    Far-right commentators quickly pounced on those findings, and claimed they were “proof” that the armed forces had become overrun by “Marxists” who are forcing “wokeness” on its ranks—and, as a result, alienating prospective white recruits.

    I may be reading this wrong, but the way that’s worded would mean that anti-wokeness is white supremacy. I mean, I get that, that’s what they’ve been quietly running on, but I hadn’t noticed them swapping over to just flat out admitting something along the lines of “let’s admit we’re here for a race war”.

      The best parody of real life is reality. It’s crazy just how I’m your face they are and still not enough people care to oust them.
