Well, it is, mostly. "Wokeness" is a basic understanding of systematic oppression combined with the empathy that leads you to think that said oppression is a bad thing.

Well see, the problem with public education is that kids aren't spending enough time learning about the Bibble and 10 commandments.

Republican Logic 101:
You weren't on the wrong side of history, the historians must be liberal.
Your elected officials aren't garbage people deserving of negative press, the media must be liberal.
Facts don't run counter to my beliefs, the schools must be liberal indoctrination centers.
Black people can't be better qualified than me, they must be DEI hires.

Hamilton opposed the popular vote in favor of an electoral college. I'm not positively impressed by his ideology.

The EC was supposed to prevent populism.

The electoral college was decent enough for when it was invented and for the situations at the time. The problem was that the constitution is very, very, VERY slow and hard to change, which is both a blessing and a curse, depending on the situation. We can't change fast enough to match the world around us anymore.

The problem isn’t so much that it’s hard to change, it’s that people have been fed bullshit to believe that it’s sacrosanct even though it was intentionally designed to be alterable by the people.
