I distinctly remember being told that the social unrest, violence, and wokeness would cool down if Biden won....

I merely said it would be easier for sane and decent people to oppose—as it surely is. There’s no way to know how bad it would be had the orange moron been re-elected. I think it would be worse (but I’m just guessing).
Sure, "sane and decent people" can oppose it through passionate blog posts and podcast appearances, but in reality, the ideology that spawned this violence is rapidly entrenching itself in our public life. This is hardly a victory.

Yes, but the point I believe Sam was making is that Trump is far too broken and compromised a steward of the pushback. This is all counterfactual reasoning, but my worry is that it would be far worse right now had Trump been reelected.

The "resistance" is in power and leaning into the bad ideas, irrationalism, and moral panicking. It's easier to see the emperor unclothed. Trump creates so much noise, even his defensible wins (like CRT pushback) had a pyrrhic component.

Sam certainly didn't expect any "victory" either way

My point is that neither of us know the counterfactual case: How insane would all this be during Trump's second term? Yes, he would have banned it for the federal government. But Wokistan would probably have grown far more energized in opposition to him (or so I imagine).

Sam using whataboutisms to create some kind of nonsensical argument. Man I used to respect you

It just seemed like a no win choice. I personally couldn't bring myself to ever vote for a person like Trump. Besides, Trump was not our way out of Wokeism.
