Nothing happened to it.
Dave Weigel is famous for being the Washington Post’s fake conservative writer, unless he was exposed via the first big left wing attempt to coordinate narratives, Journo-list.
I remember.
“Semafor”? What the heck is that.
Hey, David Weigel, get woke, go broke.
“That ‘picking on me’ thing is really old news now. Nobody does it anymore,” said the picked-on nerd in grammar school, hopefully.
ever heard of Bud Light?
Woke
Went to ukraine
Die there
Woke is a bad term because it has now been redefined by the press to mean “A term nobody can define”. Extreme Leftwing socialist is better.
The WOKE issue has not faded.
What the left does when they have a losing issue is they stop talking about it, stop their butt boys in the press from covering it, and stop questions about it from liberal debate moderators. It gives the illusion it’s not an issue.
But the WOKE issue has NOT gone away anymore than the Bud light boycott has ‘gone away’ or the Target boycott or any of that left wing evil we deal with. Ignoring something is how the left disappears things. Or attempts to disappear things.
WOKE IS NOT GONE... Liberals and progrssives are still doing their damage to our children and education system and government institutions - they’re just not allowing word of that to get out.
Disgusting............
Agreed—the stupid article writer cannot see what is right in front of his face.
We have another Target disaster in the headlines today—as just one example:

“Woke” is an awful term for the reason Trump described: Nobody who uses it can even define what the hell it means. And I would add that people who use it usually come across as morons when I ask them to define it.
Very well said, insightful > agreement.
It is fair to suggest that “Woke” may mean different things to different people.
My view of it is that “woke folk” have these key characteristics:
—Virtue signaling. They claim to be virtuous and claim anyone who opposes them is ignorant and evil.
—Arrogance.
—Destruction of traditional values is their creed. They support a wide range of sexual perversions and support brainwashing children to participate in them.
—Hatred of white people—and support discrimination against them.
—Hatred of men—and support discrimination against them.
—They favor censorship, cancel culture, doxxing—intimidating others into obedience to their every whim.
—They believe “education” should belong to “experts” and parents should sit down and shut up.
If I have one breath left I will use it to battle against woke evil.
“I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. And because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.”
― Edward Everett Hale
I disagree l know exactly what it is and the Author is pushing a lie. For example Disney just delayed Snow Woke because it was going to be a financial catastrophe.
“Target allows sexual predators in the women’s bathroom with your daughters” is far more direct and effective than: “Target is woke.”
The problem is that human communication often involves shortcuts—and sometimes those are imprecise.
It reminds of the old Supreme Court comment on the definition of pornography: “I know it when I see it.”
I know “woke” when I see it—and while we debate a lot around here we tend to have a lot of consensus on what qualifies as “woke”.
