DESantos sure thinks so, geezus he uses that word over and over and over and over again. That Churchill imitation speech was really, really bad Gilligan ! Does he want to go to war with US Citizens now?

Woke now means anything the GOP cultists don't like it seems doesn't it.

Anyone here care to share with the sane people what "WOKE" means?

What Does 'Woke' Mean? | Merriam-Webster

Stay woke became a watch word in parts of the black community for those who were self-aware, questioning the dominant paradigm and striving for something better. But stay woke and woke became part of a wider discussion in 2014, immediately following the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. The word woke became entwined with the Black Lives Matter movement; instead of just being a word that signaled awareness of injustice or racial tension, it became a word of action. Activists were woke and called on others to stay woke.

Like many other terms from black culture that have been taken into the mainstream, woke is gaining broader uses. It’s now seeing use as an adjective to refer to places where woke people commune: woke Twitter has very recently taken off as the shorthand for describing social-media activists. The broader uses of woke are still very much in flux, and there are some who are woke to the broader implications of woke:
The transphobia is a coordinated effort to isolate a boogeyman to get support. Its genius in that it isn't as visible as skin color or gender ironically. Woke is the parent of the transphobic fake outrage you see all the time here and there. Anyone can be woke but it doesn't alienate a whole race or gender to throw the label around.

Its sad and disgusting that a major political party has decided to rely on this

All the while ignoring the elephant in the room.


Do you see the problem now?
Uh oh…the needle skipped the groove again. Nothing you posted causes antifa to be “an idea”. Antifa is scrawny, scraggly spoiled leftist white kids in masks who commit crimes. Decidedly not merely “an idea”.

Lordy, the inanity. What manner of fluff is next?

Let's get real, Rick. The needle skipped because you purposely slapped the record player.

I see that you had to rewind and come back with more of your incessant insults.

Carry on...
Huh? You responded to ME with your usual non-sequitur BS. You didn’t need to do so. You could have scrolled on by…or responded substantively to what was said. Instead, you plunged headlong into some nonsense about the police.

Take your mental illness elsewhere. You don’t get to wreck someone’s discussion with someone else and then moan about insults. Lordy…the internet…

I post uncomfortable facts about the police.

But, you give sound advice. Why don't you follow it?

You know that if you hadn't brought up antifa- which was obviously off topic- you would not have had to read my post on corrupt cops.

So, who really is psychopathic ?

It DOESN’T BELONG in a reply to what I wrote. Police could be bloody Martians with peg legs and it wouldn’t have ANYTHING to do with media and Democrats insisting that “antifa is just an idea”.

I really do think you have mental problems. Next offer a reply about Ferraris…or maybe Yellowfin Tuna. Good grief. I need to ignore your bs.

You know what you are? A gadfly

You take anything I write to heart. I honestly do feel sorry for you.

Did you forget you said you wouldn't be watching now?
Surely you've switched to Bud Lite!
Nope, I didn't say that.

Read and take into context of what I said and pay particular attention to the last two sentences I wrote in my reply to Jack4freedom.

No I didn't. And I can't do anything about your ignorance and inability to take into context of what any given person says.
