As somebody who suffered from increasingly totalitarian "woke" ideology in my former workplace, I understand how critical regular "reality checks" are. This community is for people who wish to engage with each other and create a community of support to help make sense out of the chaos.

My New Job - The Dandiest Job Ever - Happy 4th!

Hi everyone, I haven't been active in Solid Ground for a while, but I am still alive and kicking! I now work as personal assistant to a mind-bendingly weird and diva-esque artist-lip-syncher-performer named Fiona Blueberry. She is blissfully clueless about politics and seems to be completely unaware of the culture wars. Working with her is a breath of fresh air. If you need a mood lift, I encourage you to watch this video we made together. Happy 4th, everyone! Wishing you fun/love/peace on this holiday. :) www.fionablueberry.com

Hey, Boyce's most recent episode is worth sampling, even just the first ten minutes. Very rough quote below. The guest, a professor at a school that's managed to fend off anti-Western canon efforts, talks about the PC push in the 90s, and how "defeating" that led to a false sense of complacency among "classical liberals."

My instinct (and deep fear) is that that's part of what we're experiencing (and talking a lot about) right now. That swinging our focus to the admittedly shocking moves coming out of the US executive is a critical error. Not wrong to keep an eye on it, to oppose it, to discuss and monitor it. But to view it as an equal/replacement threat is a potentially mortal error.

The violent, missionary, zealotrous "Left" is going nowhere, per various entries here about their redoubts in academia, K-12, and in big business, among other places. They have secured a beachhead, and they will be happy to wait there until this "New Right" push is swept out of office, starting with the ...

NYC Braver Angels Red/Blue Workshop on the Trump Administration

I am happy to report that we had a successful Braver Angels Red/Blue workshop regarding the first 100 days of the Trump administration here in NYC. Given our location, we had a bit harder time recruiting Reds, but the NYC Braver Angels Alliance has a good connection with the NYC Young Republicans, so we were able to recruit some young Reds. This particular workshop involved having each group sit together to respond to the prompt “What are your hopes and concerns about the Trump administration?” while the other group sits around them to observe (we refer to this as a fishbowl), then the groups swap and the other one answers the prompt. We then have them get together in Red/Blue pairs to share what they learned (we suggest talking about insights, surprises, and commonalities they saw with the folks on the other side), and then they all come back into the big circle to talk about what they learned and are taking out into their daily lives from the workshop.

I had some challenges with the person doing logistics for me ...

Book on whether DEI is dead

Just learned from a FAIR chapter-leader meeting that Ryan Ruffaner is writing a book on this topic, so keep your eyes peeled (he is still seeing many instances of it). Also learned from the meeting there is still a lot of gender legislation being pushed in some states, like Colorado, and many states are pushing ideologically informed Ethnic Studies curriculum (esp on the West Coast).
