“Words dont come easy to me” (F. R. David). What does WOKE mean? https://www.nationalworld.com/whats-on/arts-and-entertainment/what-does-woke-mean-definition-woke-culture-2022-3215758
A lot of Americans “woke” up to Republican double dealing on Jan. 6, 2021. We all saw Republicans running in fear from the “mob”. Now, those same Republicans prefer to run towards the mob. Such is the lure of Power.
Consider that for years Unions were illegal. There in nothing in Alito’s ‘Constitution’ that says right to organize, or right to strike. Going one step further, quitting your job would be going on strike, and illegal. The Constitution according to the ‘Christian’ Right.
And it’s odd that the Heffalumps are whining about “Cancel Culture” when THEY are the ones doing the Canceling. Canceling your vote, canceling your choices of reading material, canceling your freedom to love and marry whoever you want, canceling reproductive choices, just generally canceling whatever THEY don’t like.
You ain’t seen nothing yet!! mitch and his gang of Gerrymandering brainless conservatives want to take away your Social Security and Medicare TOO! BUT they will Lie to your face just like everything else they said they would never do!! But they have! Because we let them do it! At the polls.
There is a small window of opportunity with the election in November. Vote like your freedoms depends on it; because if you are a woman, a minority, or a person who wants to make their own reproduction decisions…it does.
Another reason for the RW to go after the educational system, to ensure the reality of U.S. history has been whitewashed and critical thinking skills are discouraged.
It always amuses me when ignorant people use a term like “woke” as a pejorative when it’s actually a good thing. Sure, call me smart if it makes you feel superior.
Republicans have long been pushing the line that this is a republic, not a democracy—as if the two are some how mutually exclusive. Based on their program of ignorance, fear, anger, and hatred, they have convinced their base that America must be saved from majority rule and are using tactics such voter suppression, brainwashing, court packing, and gerrymandering to destroy democracy.
Odd, SCOTUS did not make abortion illegal, just making legislatures do their job.
Not a single law change takes away the right to vote for anyone. In fact, Georgia is now more in line with Colorado and much more liberal that New York and Delaware. Does Luckovich really believe blacks are unable to get driver’s licenses or other proof of ID? That is pretty racist.
Roberts and Kavanaugh made it clear in their opinions that contraception is not up for reconsideration.
What’s funny, in a Dunning-Kruger sort of way, is when they call you a “Woke Progressive” as if that was a bad thing (a pejorative), when it actually shows themselves as being just another radicalized, wilfully-ignorant fool.
Every person, race, culture and every company who dares to displease the Maga elite is anointed and condemned as being “Woke”, and thus ordered by their obedient Maga sheep to be boycotted, prosecuted, banned, and “canceled”. All too often, they obey without question. What’s hilarious is when one of their own members steps out of line, upon which they are pronounced as “woke”.
So tell us, Magas. Now that you smugly think defining a “woman” is a gotcha question, how do you define “Woke”?
Maga candidates are screaming about passing laws against “the Wokes” and “Wokeism”.
Florida Republicans, for example, have declared the gigantic Disney company as “Woke” because its employees didn’t like dictator-wannabe’s draconian laws, and passed tax laws to punish that company (which is also the biggest cash cow and employer in that State). And told them if they “played nice” with Gov De Santis, they’d rescind their attacks. Gee, sounds like extortion or racketeering, except that Disney has been officially declared (anoint anoint) as “Woke”, so that makes passing laws against Disney ok. Why? ’cause Mickey and Pluto are getting it on?
So who are those “Woke” people? What do they look like? Do they have three eyes? Walk with a limp? Have a crooked pinky finger on their left hand?
De Santis has a litmus paper test, in which he gets to personally approve all spending and university appointments after applicants fill in a little political-nicety questionnaire.
So, do they get a special certificate if they say the right words or something?
Euphemisms, always euphemisms. It’s no mistake that revisionist Magas want to redefine slavery as “Involuntary Relocation”, and not just because they don’t want students to feel bad about the very real brutality and cruelty of slavery. They want to re-write all history and events.
Other terms that have “alternate” meaning in Maga-Land:
Any person or company who disagrees with them? Woke.
Death threats, attempted coups, political violence? Legitimate Political Discourse.
A young man who menaces liberal protesters with a gun? Lawful Patriot. A lawful patriot with a different shade of skin? Lawless Thug. A lawful patriot who randomly murders people and children? Liberal with Mental Issues.
Zygotes, blastocysts, and pencil-eraser embyros? “babies”.
Criminalization of all abortion, for any reason, by any method? Victory for Life. No excuses for rape, incest, or the patient’s health? God’s Will.
The definition of a woman? Political Talking Point. Definition of a white Christian woman? Incubator (to help overcome Critical White Replacement). Definition of all other women? Unimportant.
The rethuglicants really hate it when people notice their selfish actions that take away our rights. We need to vote for Democrats to save our rights and country for our children and grandchildren.
It was hilarious when the weird ‘My Pillow’ Maga guy and rabid 2020 “fraud” conspiracist, Mike Lindell, whined that Walmart joined the “woke cancel culture” because they’re not gonna sell any more of his pillows.
I mean, they thump their chests in self-righteous “Christianity” morality, but ignore the actual teachings of Christ and declare as “woke” anybody who disagrees with the Party line, which usually means embracing those teachings. in actuality, it’s whoever the Maga “leaders” tell them to be persecuted.
It’s political perversion, and they just fall into lock-step robotic, mesmerized obedience, same as any ISIS or Taliban… recruit.
Synonyms for woke: aware, informed, knowledgeable, competent. Antonyms for woke: ignorant, naive, shallow, unconscious. Is this starting to make sense yet?
Rick Santorum is urging the conservatives to take over 34 state legislatures and call for a Constitutional convention to write a new Constitution making this country a conservative Nazi country
Luckovich is so full of BS like all Democrats are. Roe v. Wade still exists it’s just no longer a Federal Law because it is unconsitutional because the Constitution guarantees the Right to Life and Abortion just kills babies. The only ones that are suppressing votes are the Democrats which is why so many Blacks and Hispanics are now joining the Republican Party. Nobody’s coming for anybody’s contraception. The Republicans aren’t and the Democrats aren’t because they love killing babies too much and the reason the Democrats are going to lose the 2022 election is because they’ve going Woke aka freaking nuts.
