    Unfortunately America has gained the stereotype of being composed of “crazy open-minded woke liberal left who are obsessed with political correctness and LGBT” represented by the Democrats and “crazy right wing MAGA gun-totting racists” represented by the Republicans. Two extremes with nothing in between, and both sides hate China.

    This lines up with my Chinese co-worker who’s a student(early 20s, gamer). He’s convinced that Kamala is pushing LGBT acceptance. She’s “behind it all” according to him.

    He complains about “woke” a lot

      Mostly the online g*mer/netizens type though. I don’t think normal people (who don’t spend a lot of time online) care about this kind of thing. They may have some prejudice but it’s mostly borne out of ignorance.
