HRC Article:
WASHINGTON — Last night, President Biden signed the FY25 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) into law, which includes a provision inserted by Speaker Mike Johnson blocking healthcare for the transgender children of military servicemembers. This provision, the first anti-LGBTQ+ federal law enacted since the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996, will rip medically necessary care from the transgender children of thousands of military families – families who make incredible sacrifices in defense of the country each and every day. The last anti-LGBTQ+ federal law that explicitly targeted military servicemembers was Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, which went into effect in 1994.
Biden’s press release:
No service member should have to decide between their family’s health care access and their call to serve our Nation.
The problem is not the core goals of woke, which I understand to be inclusivity and social justice. The problem is perfomative outrage and a relentless search for microaggressions. This will alienate people who might in other circumstances be – if not allies – at least sympathetic to the causes.
Name an example of microaggression/performative outrage displayed by democrats that you think cost them the election.

Because if you find the protection of rights for minorities to be objectionable then you’d find good company with people who think those people don’t deserve protection.
But if you want to be vague about what it is you consider objectionable then there’s nothing I can do but speculate

No, i read everything you wrote and then asked for clarification, but you called that ‘moving the goal posts’, so I just used what was given to speculate.
‘Woke’ is frequently used as a reactionary dog whistle and is typically meant very broadly to mean ‘non-white cis male issues’. I still think youd be more comfortable at a nazi bar.
