What "woke" REALLY means in the eyes of Republicans is, in not so many words, "anything with which I disagree in any way."

I particularly admire the guy who just comes right out and admits it basically means 'anti-white.' Points for honesty.

How overly broad of them…

When it first started, I admit that being called “woke” was irritating. Sort of like “OK Boomer”. So I started thinking, what is anti-woke?

Asleep? (Yeah, given their propensity for voting against their own best interests, the GOP masses are asleep at the wheel)

Sleep walking? That evokes zombie which is rather apt but also can be viewed by some as cool.

Currently I settled on comatose. Coma often precedes death. One can hope.

So now, when I hear “woke” used in a pejorative way, I imagine the entire MAGA cult in a pre death coma. 😊

When I first heard the word had to look it up only to find out I have been “woke” most of my life

And I am 75 so that’s lots of years.just another stupid thing the gop has come up with to distract from the fact that they are a cult party that is clueless about what a large percentage of Americans stand for. Or maybe not clueless just frightened.

Someone is informed, educated and conscious of social injustice and racial inequality.

Someone needs to put this on a t-shirt!
