When the “woke” mania swept the country in 2020, I took a step back and reevaluated where I stood and why I stood there. To my surprise, I found that I agreed with conservatives and libertarians on a number of issues. I opposed childhood gender transitions, unlawful and divisive DEI mandates, and the excesses of Critical Race Theory. I argued against biological males competing in women’s sports and being housed in women’s prisons. I did so loudly and publicly, losing many friends along the way.

Today, some of those same attorneys I worked with are advocating for my right to marry my fiancée to be stripped away.

I fell for obvious right-wing propaganda and rationalized the hate with reason and logic. Now the hate machine is coming for me and that’s not fair!

      The DEI and CRT comments are especially telling. This is a person who allowed herself to believe comforting lies - to accept as fact that a societal scapegoat is the source of her woes. ESPECIALLY the comment about critical race theory, which as I understand was never taught in anything below college courses.

        I refuse to believe it’s not a psyop by some robot pretending to be a person. I don’t want to exist in the world where it’s not a psyop, and you can’t make me.
