Leftist media was beside itself with glee last week after conservative writer and author Bethany Mandel appeared on The Hill’s online program “Rising.” She was asked to define the term “woke” after she dropped it into a couple of her responses. Mandel fumbled the question and didn’t have a ready, coherent answer. It seemed as though “woke” was just a general term of abuse that the Right throws around to disparage any opinion it doesn’t like.
Matt Walsh of the Daily Wire’s recent documentary “What is a Woman?” offered everyday people a simple tool to trip up leftists who insist that the premises of the transgender movement—that gender and sex are a matter of opinion—must be accepted by society, immediately. Walsh asked advocates the simple question, “What is a woman?” and captured on camera their discomfort as they struggled to formulate a response which their ideology forbids them from answering coherently.
During the 2022 confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson, Senator Marsha Blackburn asked Jackson to define the word “woman.” Jackson said, “I can’t.” Since Jackson is a woman, has been one all her life, and is a very smart person, she would have been more credible in her response if she had said, “I won’t.”
The simple question championed by Walsh and Blackburn is the gift that keeps on giving for conservatives. Against this backdrop, you can imagine the excitement the Left now has since it thinks it has discovered a question that in their minds conservatives can’t readily answer. They would be mistaken.
Two Words: Leftist Hypocrisy
The difference is that the Left is constrained from defining “woman” for political reasons, whereas some conservatives use the word “woke” without thinking about what they are saying. Unlike the Left, conservatives don’t get their talking points and marching orders from centralized sources. When conservatives adopt a term, the specific definition may vary as articulated. There’s an element of “You know it when you see it” to a lot of conservative language. This is the case with “woke.”
Now that leftist media will start to ask this question more often, they will want conservative interviewees to freeze just as they do when asked to define “woman.” But conservatives can answer the question in two words. Wokeness, or more accurately, “wokeism” is leftist hypocrisy. Faced with that answer, leftist interviewers will soon learn they’ve walked into a trap of their own making. If the conservative interviewee is asked to explain what that means, it won’t be long before the leftist interviewer quickly wants to change the subject.
“Wokeism” represents a systemic pattern, a flaw at the ideological level. Leftists are systemically hypocrites because that hypocrisy serves a purpose. Leftist ideologies are not readily accepted by most people. Everyday people would reject leftism if it had to succeed on merit. Leftist strategists have known this for decades.
As a result, they have honed the ability to tilt the political battlefield in their favor by leveraging their hypocrisy. Leftist hypocrisy is a strategic advantage used to confuse the populace and win power.
Transgenderism is perhaps the best example of wokeism. A man is not a woman, but thanks to transgenderism he is. Wokeism is leftist hypocrisy in action. A man says he is a woman, but he can’t even define woman. The circular logic is by design.
Answer and Then Explain
So, what is wokeism?
It’s all wokeism, and it’s on a mission: to seize power by changing the terms of the debate, a strategic hypocrisy where the seeds of confusion are planted in the populace to frame the good guys as the bad guys and the bad guys as the good guys.
This will come to a head the next time a leftist asks, “Can you define woke?”
Just answer, “It’s leftist hypocrisy,” and then explain why.
: aware of and actively attentive to important societal facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice)

• When you call yourself a feminist but advocate for the enhanced “right” of any man willing to claim he is a woman to expose himself in women’s restrooms and lockers.
• When you raise $6M on the backs of black people killed by police which you then spend on houses in the white areas of town.
• When you condemn blackface while applauding drag and advocating exposing children to this misogyny
• When you describe yourself as advocating for reproductive care by advocating for the disruption of reproduction
I forgot:
• advocating defending the police and disarming law-abiding citizens while you walk around protected 24/7 by armed guards
The left cannot create, produce, or think.
They can only steal and plagiarize and corrupt.
What chaps my butt, 20 years ago my best Christian freind and I reflected on the verse
Eph 5:14 - This is why it is said: “Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”
when we discussed trying to show people the truth of
Luk 21:28 - When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”
in trying to share prophecy and the signs of our times being the end days.
Those who listened and saw the truth of that last verse
we started referring to as “ woke”
So it really makes me mad to see them abuse, twist and abuse the word “ woke”
And saddened we are using that word to describe the left.
They aren’t woke, they are asleep in their sin and depravity and ignorance.
It’s not that complicated. “Wokeism” is a Messianic delusion peculiar to people on the left who believe they have been blessed with a special higher level of insight into racial and social justice issues and thus are entitled to insult and berate other people who have not been so enlightened.
“Woke” is also overtly racist when used by white people to describe themselves, as they are affecting a Black ghetto accent to claim not that “they have been awakened” but that “they be woke” or “they is woke.”
Frankly, if I was Black and I heard some stupid white cracker claiming to be “woke,” I’d want to hurt them.
The left is all hypocrisy.
“’Wokeism’ is a Messianic delusion peculiar to people on the left who believe they have been blessed with a special higher level of insight”
The first time I ever heard the word it came out of Obama’s mouth.
> Obama
The veritable poster child for malignant narcissism.
