By design and through strict discipline, Symposium avoids discussion of electoral politics in favor of a discussion of ideas—but political results do occasionally add urgency to the ideological debate and help push it in one direction or another. The elections three weeks ago in Virginia and elsewhere, for example, announced the arrival of anti-wokeness as a political force.
Not a critic, really. Whereas I should like to avoid discussion of particular electoral politics in favor of discussion of ideas- as you, unfortunately, speak and write so well for a small, but committed, principled community of thoughtful, decent human beings on the right-last I checked, over 1.6 million people voted for McAuliffe….which is not to say I think they are all woke, no joke voters, but it can be safe to say of that 1.6 million, a fair amount agree with the authoritarian instincts McAuliffe endorsed and defended, when it comes to public education and the new woke curriculum. Thanks as always for your clear expositions. I think this nonsense is going to get worse, before it gets better. Kinda like Star Trek Discovery. Gotta run on
