    There’s no more woke in this country

    I’m still waiting on their written definition of woke. They will never provide one though. “Woke” is their “shmoo”.

      The real definition: being aware of systemic discrimination, oppression, and persecution.

      The Republican definition: everything that doesn’t comport with the values of 1920s-1940s European fascism and 1840s American labor and racial laws.

        Unfortunately, in their world it works perfectly, because of “systemic oppression of white christian family values”.

      Woke is anything they don’t like. If they have to describe it, it’s minorities and women having equal opportunities. Saying woke makes them sound like less of an asshole to people not willing to go beyond surface level conversations.

        It’s civil rights.

        From Britannica:

        Civil rights are an essential component of democracy. They’re guarantees of equal social opportunities and protection under the law, regardless of race, religion, or other characteristics. Examples are the rights to vote, to a fair trial, to government services, and to a public education. In contrast to civil liberties, which are freedoms secured by placing restraints on government, civil rights are secured by positive government action, often in the form of legislation.
