People elect a leader
that leader leads until he or she is replaced by another.
That's exactly what we have... it's called democracy.
Are you unhappy with the way the American system has worked since inception?
What would you replace it with?

For National Security purposes.

Are you aware that they have a website? Are you aware of all that has transpired since its inception? Are you aware that you are spouting nonsense or believe nonsense?
#BlackLivesMatter was founded in 2013 in response to the acquittal of Trayvon Martin’s murderer. Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, Inc. is a global organization in the US, UK, and Canada, whose mission is to eradicate white supremacy and build local power to intervene in violence inflicted on Black communities by the state and vigilantes. By combating and countering acts of violence, creating space for Black imagination and innovation, and centering Black joy, we are winning immediate improvements in our lives.
When everything you disapprove of is racist, supremacist or any other -ist, -sim and -phobe, it justifies their actions.
But hey, I appreciate your service....
Eradicating white supremacy is racist? I am white as snow as I wish white supremacy was eradicated.
That's because it's their term, they coined it. And it means decency and equality for everyone.
BLM is not all black people, it is a group of all races who want to root out racism, and among it white supremacy.

What you are tying to tell me, and gaslight others here with, is that these are actually the good people and that speaking out against them is a bad thing.
I have to run...
Maybe you don't comprehend what you're saying up above when you paint all BLM as some racist group. BLM is not all black people, it is a group of all races who want to root out racism, and among it white supremacy.
KKK, neo-Nazis, real old school Nazis, white supremacists of other affiliations -- these are all bad people. We fought a war over this #. And we won. We have a moral duty to stand up against this and make sure it never happens again.

I don't think defining terms equates to a mass woke agenda. Just a freaking glossary.
If they are terms culture uses, and haven't yet been added, mostly because the new terms get made up daily, an acknowledgement would eventually be necessary for people who read and listen to those words all day.
Like adding "derp" to the dictionary.
Only there's a whole lot of derp to add...

What is woke? How do you define it?
I know the BLM made up the term to mean to care and be decent to anyone, support all rights, for everyone. In Christianity, Jesus is the definition of woke - love thy brother, turn the other cheek and all that.
What does woke mean to you?
Imagine everyone treated equally no matter their differences.
Shocking!!!

It's rebranded communism.
The entire federal government needs to be purged.
Yes it does, and all the intelligence agencies need to be dismantled and restructured from the ground up.
Unfortunately, the uni-party isn't going to let that happen without a fight. The administrative state is what keeps this country on course for the Marxist/communist end game no matter which party holds the majority in the executive and legislative branches. They're still working on the judicial, but they're almost there.
