    That's the tried and true with them. Take something noble and aspirational and make it a bad word in their bubble.
    It's why an abortion of a non-viable fetus is "murder," why repayment of social security in our golden years is
    a nasty "entitlement," anything and everything the government does that doesn't involve blowing up brown people
    in foreign countries is "socialism," taxation is theft, Black Lives Matter is a "terrorist organization,"
    and executive order is tyranny unless Trump does it, judicial officers are legislative usurpers.

    Hyperbolic bullshit. They go nuts for canned red meat.

    So, maybe they need a new word...

    Can you define for me what the real world application of the word is now days? I honestly dont think I understand it.

    Proper right wing use of wokeness requires a curmudgeon with a sarcastic contemptuous eyeroll while saying it.

    Like when Beevis and Butthead share a laugh mocking families.

    Virtue becomes virtue signaling exactly when a Republican is inwardly ashamed he lacks it.

    Talk about your cancel culture, they've cancelled "goodness" and decency with a culture of cynicism.
    "Nothing is good, its all a scam, it's OK to mock goodness because we are all mocking it in our group, and when they
    act good its just an act"

    Satire mocking the left isn’t funny to the left. Satire mocking the right isn’t funny to the right.
    There was a recent thread about how Bill Maher has been mocking the left lately. Of course lefties said he’s lost it. One (Nifty I think) gave an example of some guy who he considers way funnier yet it’s some obscure guy few have heard of.
    Bill Maher is no different now than he’s ever been. I liked him before and I like him now, maybe because I hate the far left and the far right.
    I like The Onion at times and I like The Babylon Bee at times, sometimes they’re both stupid (usually, actually).

    Green: You guys wrote an article in January 2020 that was shared roughly 3 million times, claiming that Democrats called for the American flag to be flown at half-staff when the Iranian general Qasem Soleimani was killed in an American strike.
    Snopes acually did a fact check on that! Now that’s just goddam funny when they write a satire that’s so plausible Snopes feels the need to fact check it.

    This reminds me of playing with a dog who won't bring the ball all the way back.
    The master just can't figure out the dog is playing a different game. LOL

    It can and does get extreme. That’s what gets satired.

    Example of Maher mocking the left: When dims were throwing out the idea of reparations to blacks for slavery. Maher did a “new rules” calling for a honky tax. And why not? How incredibly stupid is it to even pose the idea of reparations for slavery in the 21st century?
