Woke includes believing without question liberal orthodoxies like affirmative action, global warming, transgender issues, other numerous fad issues of the day, drag queen story hour to young children, etc. Someone with a man bun is definitely woke.
A man bun is woke???
Oh my god!
I don't like that hair style at all, but I think that's totally judgmental of you.
So, basically, anything YOU don't like is woke?
What is rap music, or I guess they call it hip hop now?
What about teens who buy new jeans with holes already in them?
And, okay, back to your definition… what if you have questioned, thought about, considered, and decided that, yes, you DO believe in global warming and certain affirmative action practices - still woke?
How about this?
10 kids on the playground. 4 of them are really good at basketball. They all decide to be on the same team, and they continually wipe out the others. Is it woke for a teacher to see that the others are unhappy and tell the 10 kids to divide them up so the teams are equally talented?
What if the kids decided to do it themselves? Woke?
What if the ones who always lost suggested it instead of the teacher? Woke?
What if the good players suggested it? Woke?
Woke is a 4-letter word that lets conservatives group together everything they oppose. They still haven't gotten over the fact that they can't use the n-word in public any more so they are thrilled to be able to pack so much hate and frustration into a new word.AunBear89 said:
Woke has replaced politically correct. It's the place of first refuge when a white conservative is challenged on their racist/bigoted/sexist comments/actions/jokes. They whine about everything being woke (or politically correct) and back in the good ol' days before woke/pc they could express their abhorrent opinions freely.

Fortunately, conservative ideology is continuing to lose in the marketplace of ideas and needs to retool itself. Simply re-labeling everything as "woke" isn't going to do it. Unfortunately, during this period of thrash conservatives are able to do quite a lot of damage to their communities. Look at the way they are treating pregnant women, targets of the criminal justice system (other than Trump and white collar criminals) and the youth generally. Sadly it will be very difficult to reverse course in deep red states and their populations will continue to suffer under terrible leadership.

Woke. Woke includes the liberal MSM and liberal activists NOT identifying who is attacking our Asian-American brothers.
This silence begs the question - are they really fighting racism? Or is it just a long-term foil to keep one's opponents forever off balance while also locking in a large voting block?

That's a fallacy that author and film maker Dinesh DSouza has debunked.
The racist Democrats then changed their votes to George Wallace.
[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinesh_D%27Souza#cite_note-169][/url]Quote:
D'Souza has promoted several conspiracy theories, such as the false claim that Obama was not born in the United States[161][162] and the conspiracy theory that the Clintons had murdered people.[163][164] D'Souza has also promoted false claims about businessman and philanthropist George Soros, including that Soros had collaborated with the Nazis as a youth, and that he has sponsored Antifa, a left-wing anti-fascist movement.[165] In an August 2016 interview with GQ, D'Souza denied being a conspiracy theorist, stating: "I have never advanced a conspiracy theory in my life."[166] In August 2017, D'Souza suggested that the Charlottesville Unite the Right rally had been staged.[21] In the same month, D'Souza tweeted that it would be "interesting to see" Soros "extradited to Israel & tried for his complicity in Nazi atrocities against Jews", and referred to Soros as "Hitler's collection boy".[167] After mail bombing attempts on prominent Democratic politicians occurred in October 2018, D'Souza tweeted: "Fake sexual assault victims. Fake refugees. Now fake mail bombs." D'Souza argued that the lack of a cancellation mark on the bomb-containing packages was evidence they were not mailed.

My history teachers never told us the KKK were primarily Democrats. I looked it up, and most of the major luminaries were Democrats.
President Lincoln said the 4 horsemen of the apolocalypse of slavery were:
Roger Tawney - chief justice
Franklin Pierce - A northern Democrat who believed that the abolitionist movement was a fundamental threat to the nation's unity, he alienated anti-slavery groups by signing the KansasNebraska Act and enforcing the Fugitive Slave Act. (Wiki)
James Buchanan - "As President, Buchanan intervened to assure the Supreme Court's majority ruling in the pro-slavery decision in the Dred Scott case. He acceded to Southern attempts to engineer Kansas' entry into the Union as a slave state under the Lecompton Constitution, ..." A bachelor, rumors that he was gay. (Wiki)
Steven Douglas - Senator
No one tears these statues down.

Trump's margin of loss among black voters was greater in 2020 than in 2016 because of higher turnout.Big C said:movielover said:AunBear89 said:

Yeah, a little History lesson for you woke, politically-correct liberals: Do you even know who the first Republican President was? That would be Abraham Lincoln! So when Donald Trump proved beyond a shadow of a doubt (by saying) that he had done more for African Americans than any President except Lincoln, that was really saying something!
And this is why, in 2020, Trump INCREASED his percentage of the Black vote by over 10% (from 8% to 9%) from 2016!!!

People are living longer and producing fewer new workers (births).
And France is like the youngest retirement age in the world from what I heard.
Can these protesters do math?
