Wokeness, political correctness, liberalism, whatever conservatives label actions and ideas that advocate inclusion, tolerance, and compassion…
Ignorance, fear, grievance, anger, cruelty, hatred… the forces that conservatives have embraced, warping the Republican Party, patriotism, and even Christianity to divisive & destructive ends.
There’s only one way to bring light into a dark room: turn on the light.
What a tiny little pseudo-theocratic, pseudo-nationalist, pseudo-supremacist, pseudo-misogynist, pseudo-fascist, anti-equality, anti-democracy, authoritarian bubble the Republicans have created … because they can no longer function positively/proactively in the real world with its changing demographics.
“woke”, much like ‘politically correct’, is simply showing consideration for your fellow American. conservatives try to demonize those terms. Do conservatives oppose showing consideration, or just oppose Americans?
I too know what wOKE means. Their is a major difference BETWEEN the definition as originally intended and its application. How it IS applied makes me chOKE
The right has no ideas that Americans, as a whole, can embrace. Their appeal is limited to less than a third of Americans. Since that is a losing number in a democracy, they have to invent crisis to scare people. “Woke” is perfect. It doesn’t mean what they think it means, but that’s not a problem, because then they can apply it to anything that they want.
“Woke” is the most recent slur some conservatives use to belittle and discount the compassion of inclusion. Change frightens some underdeveloped people, even when it does not affect them personally. Their fear, aroused by opportunistic politicians, makes life hard, perhaps even dangerous, for citizens who can’t fight back.
This is nothing new. The same conservative personality types were on display during the march for civil rights and the desegregation of the South. https://www.life.com/history/little-rock-nine-1957-photos/
So some people trying to do the right thing makes other people feel like they are being crushed to death and suffocated? That really paints conservatives as terrible people.
Wokeness is Marxist ideology. “Woke people” have the right to promote if you chose, after all, this is still America (for now!). Y’all can have half the country – leave the rest of us alone.
Wrote this for Shetland: Woke Define: Giving children so-called puberty blockers that cause chemical castration. Christian gate groups like the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, antisemitism, a kind of victimization that is self-righteousness, preaching a gospel where it is good to continue to punish even after someone apologizes, hypocritical racism(all blanket statements of all white people), Greed from all the programs the woke wants.

We are Democrat. We are Liberal. We strive to be the actual definition of “Woke”.
So, the question we have for Republicans, conservatives, and christians is what exactly is it that makes you want to be you?
