Woke is dead — let’s make sure it never comes back

**SNIP**

Whatever the more complex truth of the matter, it’s in our interest to promote the trope that woke is over. That woke has been vanquished. That woke is totally yesterday, hopelessly stale and played out. That the rest of us are moving on to genuinely thorny questions that aren’t stupid. That we’ll no longer waste our time pushing back against petty amateur linguists who insist we call the portly “people living with obesity.”

That, whatever our private reservations about the guy, Trump’s election marks a hard Before and After. That as Kamala would say, we’ve “turned the page” and “we’re not going back.”

Is that an echo?

Because when you say something enough times (this is a gambit the wokesters themselves have mastered) you can make it true. Wokesters are highly suggestible. Furthermore, most of these folks don’t really care about social justice. They care about appearing to care about social justice. They care about other people’s esteem. They care about fitting in.

They echo what everyone else around them says, because being a mindless copycat means other mindless copycats will like them and they’ll keep their friends and their jobs. And they care about social fashion.

So they won’t spout lingo like “cisgender” if that might risk an eye-roll at parties. They won’t want to seem behind the times. If we convince them that woke is over, that their BLM lawn signs are passé, that maundering about “white privilege” is boring and old hat, they’ll drop the whole patriarchy/neurodiversity/heteronormativity et al package in a New York minute.

We just have to persuade them that woke is unhip. Which it always has been, but some people are slow.

Keeping porn out of schools would be nice.

“We just have to persuade them that woke is unhip.”

“Unhip”? Isn’t that just a wee bit weak? I sure don’t aspire to a level of hipness. Not anymore, anyway. I gave up on that in the mid-’90s.

Shaming and ridicule is sustainable means of extinguishing bad behavior. Apply this approach to the Democrat brand.

[Ikeon]

Woke is what got us prohibition,taxes, senator elections and women's right to vote. Woke will go to sleep for a few years but it will be back. ...

If we can survive the wounds it gave us this time.

[cgbg]

In Democrat occupied areas and institutions like universities and most non-profits Woke still has a death grip.

It is far from gone.

[EQAndyBuzz]

Taking sex, race and disability off all job applications would also be a good start.

[Apply this approach to the Democrat brand.]

Exactly why I hope people share these...

Hang this "transgender" thing around the neck of the Democrats - it's their pet project (one of many, like radical abortion)

Small wonder Democrat Joe Biden is on-board with pope-a-dope Francis - A Godless Reprobate intent upon doing his father Satan's work (John 8:44)



Pastor Greg Laurie:

This is really hard to believe.

President Biden issued a proclamation recognizing March 31 as Transgender Day of Visibility.

This is also the date of Easter where we celebrate the fact that Jesus Christ rose from the dead. What is the president thinking?

This is a profound insult to the sincerely held religious beliefs of millions of Americans on our holiest day.

America needs God more then ever and yet this is the stance the White House takes.

It’s time to turn back to God not turn our backs on God.

We need to repent and pray for a spiritual awakening in America. It is our only hope.

The Democratic Party has become
the Party of Godless Reprobate Agendas
with Constant Shameless Promotion

(pro-LGBTQ+)

All according to plan.

All according to Satan's plan.

The abomination of America's White House under the rule of Godless Reprobate Barack Hussein Obama must never be forgotten - this man is a tool of Satan

Manchurian Candidate Barack Hussein Obama is a Godless Reprobate
false prophet doing (his true father's) Satan's work for a long time now

June 26, 2015 was the Rainbow White House

Pray for Kamala Harris to publicly repent of these evils and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, before this happens:

Send all wokie questions to Gen. Milley.

[AndyJackson]

Can we swap Milley for all the hostages held by Hamas. Just so he can understand white rage.

Blue cities and states are still fully woke. It’s just been pushed back a bit in non-blue areas.

The university is the next battle ground, as finances tighten for all departments.

Woke was created to brainwash the low IQ’s as a means to disrupt society. It also brainwashed a lot of others in the process.

[TexasM1A]

Woke isn’t dead, it’s just being rebranded.
It’s like the words and ideas of “liberalism and Progressiveism”, the commies use those words until they inevitably run them into the ground.
But instead of changing, they just rename it.
The commies never give up because they have the indoctrination facilities to keep producing new pliable skulls full of mush.

Preference Falsification to Preference cascade
When crowds embrace false ideas it is easy to create the quick destruction of such bad programs. Persist

I hate these “Woke is Dead” headlines. Don’t delude yourself. It’s not dead. These people are Marxist fanatics who never give up. At best, it is hibernating. Remembner that, for a while, PC seemed “dead” in the mid 1990s. Then it came back with a vengence.

Give it time. When they see another opening, it will come roaring back with even more insane demands. When faced with setback, they want you to think its dead to lull you into complacency.

The best way to kill it? Start with the Education system. Right now the Education system is reeling both at the K-12 and University level. Student populations and University endowments are dropping like rocks. Hopefully the Trump Administration will injure and starve the beast. Ditto for NGOs, which are just huge Leftist slush funds and employment opportunities for activists.

[The Duke]

The messaging needs to be ... “Woke is for life’s losers.”

[dynachrome]

It’s not dead, just hiding under different names.
