    This is why they hate college. Isolated students who were sheltered by their conservative parents are forced to mix with people who are different from them… and the students realize the differences that they were taught to be afraid of don’t really matter. They start to think for themselves.

    Independent thought is what scares conservatives the most.

      It’s hard now, though, because they’re saying the military is too “woke” now, too! But without a steady influx of Good Ol’ Boys how do we continue to justify our defense budget?

      You can’t be pro military and anti-woke, a lot of the aforementioned Good Ol’ Boys have the same experience as the ones who go to college: they’re exposed to minorities and realize the lies aren’t true. How do you keep bodies going in while telling them not to go in because it’s too “woke”?
