An issue I'm having with both Canadian and American politics, is the constant need for people to demonize their political opponents. This ties into the use of the word "woke" as that's how I think it's being used. PP calls the Liberals and NDP "radical" and "woke" as a way to rile up his base and instil fear.
This is also rampant in American politics, where people throw around the words "pedophile" or "devil" for their political opponents. It's ridiculous and terribly damaging to the political institutions in our society. #pedohitler was trending on twitter after Biden gave a speech a while back. But Twitter isn't the best place to go for open political discourse. lol
What happened to disagreeing with your political opponents, while still being able to see their humanity?
