Speaking at a campaign event outside Des Moines, Trump said he doesn’t like the term because “half the people can’t even define it” and “don’t know what it is.”

This is news?
“I don’t like the term ‘woke,” because I hear the term ‘woke woke woke’ — it’s just a term they use, half the people can’t define it, they don’t know what it is.”

For Forbes.
Everything that comes out of the presumptive 2024 candidate’s mouth is news, yes. He got in front of a mike and said it.
The term was invented by the left.
So was “fake news” but Trump took command of it in 2016 to great success.
I dislike it myself as it should be synonymous with “alert” but as with people who label themselves as “brights” or “free thinkers” it is more an antonym. Perhaps “delusional” would be a better word.
So what? If you need a fainting couch for this, you gona die before Trump is elected the 3rd time.
I don’t need a fainting couch when Trump distances himself from the right. As others here say, that’s not really news.
“The Republican Buzzword”
Forbes, gone like the rest of them.
Here is my definition:
Woke - When you are ignorant enought to think that you know better than all those who came before you in the recorded human history. Even worse, you judge them harshly without taking any of their context into account. You also blindly assume that you can do better, even if it means burning our civilization to the ground.
Sure, and just like “liberal” and “feminist”, it’s become an insult, because the things they advocate are stupid.
They can come up with a new term, but that will just become an insult as well.
Hard to argue with that.
I thought woke was something the left came up with. Not a republican term.
The first time I ever heard that term was out of Obama’s mouth. I’ve hated it since that day.
Definitions have been an ongoing battle in the culture wars that the left has been raging against America. The debate over “what is pornography and/or obscenity?” was another challenge. These are not fights to back down on. Can’t give the woke crowd an inch.
Trump may be angling for the democrat nomination at this point. He’s pro Newsome, pro Cuomo and campaigning against the most successful conservatives. Oh and cozying up with Pfizer, Disney and big business.
Wtf is he doing?
I guess the only good news would be if they have Youtube videos of Pence campaign speeches. They'd be super helpful in falling asleep.
