Why should we care? Ok lets think about this. At first, the WOKE movement was about racism and the rights and treatment of black people in the US. They wanted to level the playing field where black people are treated the same as white or more fortunate people than themselves. This is understood and even applauded by most reasonable humans.

But what we are seeing now is a total rewrite of US history - destroying anything and everything that may offend them. In their misplaced zeal, they chose to spare a notorious Seattle statue glorifying murderer Vladimir Lenin. According to national news, "The statue was originally placed on display in the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic by the Communist Party in the 1980s before being moved to Seattle. So it is, quite literally, Soviet propaganda. So, let’s get this straight: According to the far-left mobs in Seattle and Portland, honoring the man most responsible for helping to create what has become one of the freest nations in the history of the world — George Washington — is bad, but Communist propaganda celebrating one of the 20th century’s most prolific killers is tolerable, or even good?"

Does this sound like a WOKE movement? NO, it is a communist movement as they have gone as far as the creation and occupation of independent zones of the US sovereign soil know as CHOP zones. The people in the CHOP zones have no way of supporting themselves so they make demands on the State/US government to protect, house, feed, clothe and financially support them.

This is nothing but a communist takeover of the US and our own local/state/US government seems complacent to stop this nonsense.

Why should we care? Really!
