    Default “What does woke mean?”

    “Black Americans have used the word “woke” since at least the 20th century, meaning to be aware of racial and social injustice. Pan-African activist Marcus Garvey used a version of the term as early as 1923, and it was popularized by some Blues artists.”

    “Majority of Americans are inclined to see the word “woke” as a positive attribute, not a negative one. Fifty-six percent of people surveyed said the term means “to be informed, educated on, and aware of social injustices." That includes three-fourths of Democrats and more than a third of Republicans.”

    https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/...g/70279963007/

    “I don’t like the term ‘woke’ because I hear ‘woke woke woke.’ It’s just a term they use, half the people can’t even define it, they don’t know what it is” - D Trump

    Trump finally got something right, but I’d say it was close to ninety percent “can’t even define it, they don’t know what it is

    Kinda like “deep state,” another amorphous cliche that can be applied and pedaled just about anywhere and the lemmings will swallow it as real

    And conservatives have staked out a position against this.

    Largely because they don’t know what the word means, nor particularly care, they hear it pedaled by the demagogues and politicians and swallow it whole as something they don’t like regardless of its application or reality

    Kinda like the term Obamacare, they’d hear Obamacare and their blood pressure rose, but explain and ask them what they though of the actual Affordable Care Act without saying Obama, and they’d agree or have no opinion

    The Republican arguments are structured so no nothings can spout stuff in a bluster like they are informed


    It empowers the no nothing Republican base to pound tables and scream at their neighbors and family members when those people try to inform them on the REAL FACTS
