It's not 'misguided'. It's malicious. Let's quit pretending like they are normal people who are just wrong. They know exactly what they're doing. >

Oopsie poopsie, did we accidentally bring back slavery? 

2030 gop >

"Just look at how much friendlier the model is for job creators who build those stadiums and complexes in Qatar! And it only cost us 400-500 confirmed with up to 6,500-15,000 speculated. And we have 6,880,000,000 of these to use!" >

The media had adopted the "woke" thing and pours salt in it.  The truth is the right wing is comatose.  Everything to them looks awake. >

If our political media wasn't so bad at their jobs, they'd demand that conservatives define "woke" whenever they bring it up, and push back at their hypocrisy surrounding it.
Their failure to do that most basic of journalistic tasks has made them complicit on the GQP's gaslighting. >


If our political media wasn't so bad at their jobs

Our political media is fucking amazing at their jobs.  That's what happens when we let the 1% own all the media. >

I wonder how the GOP defines "woke".  I don't think they are on the same page. >

Those dummies call everything woke if it comes from liberal side. I can safely bet that if a liberal said something good about fiscal responsibility or small government, they will call it woke too. >

They would call Jesus woke if he existed today and practiced what he said he did in the bible. >


The GOP is betting it’s politically smart to mock progressive policies that confront problems like racism, poverty, environmental ruin and climate change.

Please allow me to fix this for you. "The GOP is betting it's politically smart to pick a vague word like 'woke' as a placeholder for whatever each voter hates while giving voters just enough cover to not appear to be racist or homophobic so they can feel good about themselves and then hope that the campaign donations and votes soon follow." >

The term 'woke' has gone through a wild ride from being hated by 14 year old edge lords, to being used by video essayists with no life to now being used in politics to be used to ruin people's lives. >

The GOP’s misguided ~~‘woke police’~~ >

They have redefined/symantically bleached the meaning of woke and wokeness and are using it as a bogeyman to be able to target anyone and anything that conflicts with their regressive, right-wing christofascist beliefs. It has led to people getting censored, harassed, losing their jobs, getting canceled, an increase in hate crimes and racist and violent threats, reactionary “anti-woke”  state legislation being passed- everything the  right-wingers hypocritically complain the “left is doing” to them. It’s a means of getting their foot further in the door toward full on authoritarian control if they are allowed to keep this shit up. >

It’s fascist doublespeak. 
It works because their followers brains have the stress of cognitive dissonance and projecting their faults provides a way to vent the stress as anger toward a perceived enemy. >

In what fucking reality do conservatives live where they think law enforcement is "woke." All folks want is for them to stop murdering folks and be held accountable for their actions. >

I love how whenever I see someone use the word woke, I can tell all I need to know about them? >

I'm puzzled at how "woke" has been spun to be something negative (other than it being a verb instead of an adjective, like wouldn't "awake" be a better description?) Being "woke" means being aware of things, as opposed to being asleep or comatose and oblivious to them. Is it a point of GOP pride to be sleepwalking through life instead of being aware of what's going on and being a positive agent for change? >

For them, it's code: "Woke" is the latest, greatest euphemism for the N-word...they all know what it means (to them), but it isn't as socially unacceptable, yet... >

The more ridiculous elements of "woke" will die naturally on the vine, eventually, because they are inconsistent with reality.  Republicans are the ones trying to keep it alive because it's their strategy for keeping MILLIONS of potential swing/independent voters from voting Democratic. >

This. Society tends to self-correct from cultural extremes, unless they're given continuous oxygen. I'm old enough to remember when liberal colleges treated Ebonics as an improper but legitimate language, rather than a dialect of American English. That thought disappeared from even the far left pretty quickly. >

This was inevitable. >

They are just scapegoating to generate fear and thus votes from the gullible.  There is nothing misguided except their voters.
