Yes, I'm "woke" and it is sometimes almost too much of a burden to carry.

I am "woke"to----

---the fact that I live in nation where millions insist Trump is still POTUS;

---the fact that I live in a world in which extremist dictators and autocrats seem to be gaining power;

---the fact that global climate change is still not being seriously addressed;

---the fact that one of my country's two major political parties is ruled by a madman and willing to "burn it all down" if they don't win an election.

---the fact that some Americans want to scrap democracy, restore the policies of the 1950s and require everyone to carry a firearm;

---the fact that millions of my countrymen view both the covid pandemic and the Holocaust as "hoaxes"; and,

finally, the fact that I live in an area where about 75% of voters chose Donald J. Trump----TWICE!

I am woke to the "facts" that must be changed.
