Some have said that "woke" is a virus of the mind that affects the ability to understand and interact with reality. Jack Posobiec recently spoke at the Conservative Political Action Coalition (CPAC) in Budapest, Hungary, where he explained how being woke "fundamentally subverts one's ability to function and engage with reality in a meaningful and authentic way."
People infected with wokeness blame racism, white supremacy, homophobes, misogyny, religion, climate change, capitalism, etc. when things don't go their way. They insist that a human is a man when biology proves, through DNA, anatomical bone structure, and genitalia she was born with, that the human is female. And vice versa. Woke has become a medical industrial money-making vehicle for transgender surgeries and lifelong hormones, starting in early childhood. Body dysmorphia is a mental condition for which treatment is needed. Just like anorexia. Both may be fatal.
The woke want to spread their ideology. They attempt to control language through invented words and phrases. They impose rules for others to use: pronouns, of their choice, for example. If the pronouns they claim are not obeyed to their satisfaction, they may threaten violence due to trigger words, which they call verbal violence. Or they may announce that someone hurt their feelings, and that person is therefore evil.
This mental virus is contagious, spread by activist media propaganda, such as TV networks, Hollywood, commercials, movies, newspapers, social media, professional sports, Wikipedia (definitions changed to woke-approved), and search engines like Google (directing to woke sites). Schools and other institutions are infected though DIE (diversity, inclusion, equity) training, etc. This has penetrated retail, business, banks, and all government-run agencies. Since it has penetrated the military, enrollment in our armed services has decreased dramatically.

Wokeness is just The Critical Theory of Marxism applied to the current state of society.
Deep State will be our demise. If we allow it.
Wokeness is just one of the many tools in its arsenal.
Will Wokeness Be Our Demise?
Return of the gods. Namely, Ishtar. See Jonathan Cahn...
As Tim Keller said, Woke ideology/theology is a cobbled-together, cheaply-fabricated substitute for God. People hope it will make their lives meaningful without actually having to establish a personal relationship with God.
As anyone can plainly see, it ain't gonna work.
Wokeness is the scripture of the religion of moral relativism. So long as the truth is discerned, and there is a belief in truth which is absolute, then relativism prevail. The truth is the truth. The scariest thing I ever hear is the statement “my truth”. It is as insidious as it is the ultimate in dangerous. There is only the truth. There are interpretations of it…but it does not change the absolute nature of it.
**relativism cannot prevail.

Since 1968, when Congress passed, and President Lyndon Johnson signed into law, the first federal hate crimes statute, the Department of Justice has been enforcing federal hate crimes laws.

About 40 years ago, Patrick Buchanan said exactly that. He called it “political correctness”, but it’s the same thing.
That is right.
That’s correct.
This conflict needs to be the centerpiece of Trumps platform. Rather than ricocheting around a grab bag of issues. Keep it simple. It’s a battle for the nation’s soul.
In Biblical terms (even if considered purely metaphorical), human civilization itself is built on lies...and it has lasted.
It started after the First Democrat-Republican War. Since the original Constitution did not give the Federal Government the power to end slavery the winning side put the necessary amendments into it. Funny thing about giving the Feds extra power: they grow it beyond what was intended originally.
No. We will be the demise of Wokeness. Give it time.
Sadly, they've been very successful at this. Here are some examples:
Using the term "sexual orientation" instead of "sexual preference" is woke.
Using “gender” instead of “sex” is woke.
Using “Black” instead of “black” is woke”.
Using “gender affirming surgery” instead of “genital mutilation surgery” is woke.
Using "Undocumented immigrant" instead of "Illegal immigrant" or "Illegal alien" is woke.
Saying that someone was "assigned" a sex (or worse gender) at birth is woke. A person's sex is recorded at birth, not assigned.
Using the term "equity" (equal outcome) instead of "equality" (equal opportunity) is woke.
Affirmative Action = quotas = discrimination = woke.
Even here on Free Republic some FReepers use the terms "gender", "sexual orientation", and capitalize "black" wanting to be oh-so-modern and hip.
