Say what you want about "woke" (assuming you can define it), but its worst excesses were curbed by democratic elections.

What's the endgame of a movement that seeks to discredit, overturn, and functionally control elections?





Do you mean that the things like annulling the elections when the "wrong" candidate won [1] or barring the opposition candidates from running [2],[3] are not the worst excesses?

Do you have any less scandal-laden examples, or is this all of it?

Are these "woke" or just "events that negatively impacted far-right candidates"?

Le Pen is a particularly egregious example, given it's an embezzlement conviction and not some kind of "too racist" penalty or whatever we're imagining
