Woke?

What does that even mean? It seems the right wingers using the term don't know....Just one more way to label the side they don't like and don't know why.

Here is what some republicans had to say at CPAC.

"That's tough. Let me think on it. Give me like two minutes to come up with something good," said Johnny McEntee, the CEO of a right-wing dating app that explicitly declares that "other dating apps have gone woke."

"My opinion is: they're trying to wake up what shouldn't be woken up," said Daniel Francis, 58, who said he'd traveled from his home in Southern Colorado to promote an organization that puts on rodeos for active duty service members and veterans. "They're stirring the pot in the wrong direction."

Nikki Haley, the former South Carolina governor and one-time US ambassador to the United Nations, declared wokeness to be a "virus more dangerous than any pandemic" in her speech on Friday, ultimately closing by urging attendees to "save our country from weakness and wokeness."


So they agree, woke is bad...but don't actually know what it is. One more vague rallying cry the right uses to rally the uninformed base.

WOKE is the definition of absolute racism. It simply segregates all those who either don't represent the 'chosen' groups or don't comply with their particular mores.
Sounds like the proponent of a "national divorce" wants to do exactly that...So Marjorie Greene is "woke"?

Nope. Different situation.
bullshit...The "chosen group" being her definition of conservatives and she wants to separate from liberals who don't comply with her version of conservative mores.

Don't think she cares what color they are. Can't say the same about the WOKE groups.

Orwellian nonsense. In practice the term “woke” is applied exclusively to opposition to segregation by its supporters.

Identity politics they have championed over the last couple of decades is now biting them in the ass....soo now we can expect a lot of:

"Golly gee whiz..... what is woke?.... I have never heard of such a thing....."

Give us an example of any attempt to segregate whites.
According to Biden and many universities diversity has to take precedence over positions for employment, schools/classes and most places where people are chosen. Merit is no longer the deciding factor. Being white puts folks towards the end of the line.

If merit were the deciding factor, diversity would be the automatic result. A lack of diversity demonstrates that race is more of a consideration than merit.

maybe their answers "are all over the place", because they're watching CNN, MSNBC, Fox, ABC, PBC, CBS, NBC . . .

Or because there is no standard definition...it is whatever you want it to be. They listen to the likes of DeSantis, basically saying everything you don't like is probably due to "woke" policies or opinions. Nobody ever seems to ask him what "woke" means.

I saw a documentary related to political rhetoric many years ago. One example was a speech by Hitler in which he basically ranted about the enemies of the reich and the German people. "They" had to be defeated. Everything wrong in Germany was "Their" fault. People who heard the speech were interviewed on their way out...what they said was that the enemy could be the Jews, the communists, the west, the liberals, Gypsies...blah,blah,blah. The fact was that Hitler never mentioned who the enemy was. Whoever you hate, he hated them more.
