Elisabeth, you've done a good job of demonstrating the absurdity of neither the right nor left, but of the whole fucking system. It's not about left or right, progressive or conservative. It's about the social discombobulation that's effecting right now. We have absolutely no idea where we're headed as a society. We are feeling the effects of some very large movements (even hangover from the 60s and the baby boomer generation). We are also seeing a massive response to social injustices and social/sexual repression. We have a lot of groups (in America at least - I can't really speak for anywhere else) that are experiencing a brand new collective identity. I think the "woke" movement is an early stage response to that need for new identity.
