If it takes a felon winning an election for you to come out and write this then you are a coward. Where were these deep thoughts when BLM was blocking public roads and emergency services. I'm impartial to both sides simply making an observation.
PG has been tweeting about woke for years.
Most people were cowards then, and now too. It's nice to finally get these leaders sharing what they actually think again. After biting their tongue for what a decade?
If you insist on casually calling the guy you voted against a felon, I don't think you're as impartial as you claim.
He is in fact a convicted felon. That is objectively, impartially true.
It not be impartial to mention it, though. PG almost certainly didn't write this essay out of cowardice because a felon got elected.
He may have written it out of cowardice because a bully got elected, though...
I erred on the side of pithy to try to avoid derailing. I've never voted for him and there's a lot that I dislike about him; however…
There's a very credible argument that the DA overcharged the case so people who dislike him can try to ostracize him as a felon and make his supporters look unhinged. If your shorthand for "the less woke candidate won" is "the felon won," you don't get to credibly claim "I'm impartial" in a conversation about wokeness.
