I’d be richer than Musk if I had a dollar for every time the Dims accused conservatives of dog whistling.

The left hates being revealed for what it truly is, and seeks to hide behind phony “definitions” which it creates for itself.

Very clever of the Left to complain about our use of the word "Woke" to define them. They are saying we are using it as a pejorative and that just isn't true.

We need a label for our enemy and Woke is perfectly fine.

What the Left is trying to do is deprive us of a good descriptor because they know that if we can define them, we are one step closer to defeating them.

And defeat them we must!

There is a long history to the term bit near as I can figure “woke” started as a self identifying term for those who claimed they understood how life really, REALLY worked. It was how, in particular, race grievance people described themselves, they were “woke” while others who didn’t endlessly parrot their BS ... weren’t.

As with everything else, the faggots took over the term and made it all about themselves.

Think about that one South Park episode where Chef described to Mr Garrison and Mr Slave how black people dealt with others adopting the slang.

Woke is American Bolshevism. White Americans are the new White Russians.

doesn’t “woke” imply having been asleep about something? see if you can ever get a “wokie” to admit that!

“Woke” means sensitive and sympathetic to causes spun out there by Marx, Darwin and Freud. Oppression Theory, soul-lessness and no-fault perversion are the leading categories. And all of it is “the science”, falsely so-called.

“woke” means ‘stupid enough to fall for the promotion of every human weakness into a virtue’

ABC playing it ultra stupid.

Along with “woke” comes a huge steaming helping of gaslighting, denying that it is a purely sociopathic, nihilist psyop.

Let me understand this… To find out what “woke” means to conservatives using the term, they asked “the Democratic Governors Association and Working Families Party?”

Noting that I haven't read the article, please consider the following.

Woke is synonymous with being conditioned (institutionally indoctrinated) to let others, bully professors and coaches for example, do your thinking for you, particularly when you are following the money.

For example, Joe Biden is woke.

Woke Joe Biden is a unit of the Borg Collective as seen in the TV Borg Cube for example. /semi-sarc

Note that the 13th Amendment does not expressly prohibit woke voluntary slavery.

“Woke” like other new age terms originated in the black community and was co-opted by the LGBT community... STOLEN... with the media’s help.

Just as “civil rights”, Which once referred to a LEGITIMATE grievance against discrimination for race, was corrupted by inclusion of UN-GODLY BEHAVIORAL LIFESTYLES.

I have always found it quite amazing that the black community has tolerated this “inclusion” of LGBT rights as legitimate social grievances on par with their own.

It should make them mad as hell.

When I see “woke” used, I see it describing a divisive and corrosive agenda designed to cause anxiety, paranoia and mistrust in any social interaction.

Pretty much no one would say unconscious bias doesn’t exist. We all have unconscious expectations based on our experiences with the world around us. Some are positive and some are not but we own ourselves and it’s up to us to manage our reactions. A friend said it wasn’t his job to educate another who used a term out of ignorance. Well, yes it is. We can decide if we care about words or if we take away that power. Had a freeper kindly message me to call me a “douchebag” because I think we need a contest in 2024, not a coronation. Other things were said in the message about my family as well but it had no effect on me. Sticks and stones. All it did was reveal that person’s character.

That’s different than demanding all human interaction be seen through a lens of ceaseless micro aggressions, claiming (specifically) no “white person” can genuinely love and respect “Bl*ck and br*wn people” (a shockingly acceptable phrase that might as well be the N word.) It’s all so reductive. It judges people based on skin tone. That’s racist. That’s dividing people. That’s creating anxiety on both sides, it’s causing paranoid feelings on both sides.

It’s about controlling minds, dehumanizing individuals into classes of oppressed and oppressor. It’s about political and financial power. True Social Justice is about equal treatment and focusing on individuals not collectives.

Here in Georgia, some people assume things about me from my “skin tone” but I am from Southern California where “race relations” are historically quite different than the experiences here.

Woke has demonized colorblindness. Being colorblind means you take people as individuals and aren’t obsessed with their skin tone, are prejudiced in favor or against them because of it. Woke wants you to assume certain stereotypes about all Black Americans or “POC” (how is “POC” ok?) but, of course, doing so is racism.

I find it humorous that they dare to invoke the original/historical meaning of a term when the libs consistently reinvent words with new definitions we can never get back. The term “woke” is now an insult, regardless of whatever it used to mean. Get used to it.

Oh, it’s way beyond just black people now. It’s about “trans” women and their right to take over women’s sports. It’s about sex changes for adolescents. It’s about how every Netflix show has to have an interracial gay couple kissing. It’s how no terrorist on tv can be Muslim anymore (unless he has a really good reason to hate America.) It’s the whole kit & caboodle.
