As someone who is interested in the use and abuse of words, I wanted to share a few thoughts on the term “woke.” Like, what exactly in the hell does it mean? The conservative right is trying to turn a benign word into a pejorative, and, I think they are having some luck with their task. The ideologues on the right assign the word to groups or activities or conditions they despise and want to marginalize, if not harm. This means, if you are “woke,” you support the rights of people who are not generally recognized by the Republican political infrastructure.
And let's realize who created what we know is "intentional disadvantage." the anti-woke (deniers of truth), are part of and support systems of intentional inequity. I liken it to cutting off a person's legs, standing back and saying, "I told you he was too lazy to run." They are vile creatures who poison the planet and humanity. I personally don't care (give a ....) what they think of a word.
Thanks, Jim... for giving me the words to scold friends in this patch of TrumpWold... woke is just whatever they don't like. And, boy... they don't like a lot of shit.
I thought these Trumpians were such great "Christians". I've seen more "Love thy neighbor as they self." from atheist leftists. All this anti-woke anti poor crap makes me want to lose MY religion!
Perfectly stated. I’ll be quoting you in my next episode. You put to words exactly the point I also want to make about decency and the need for civility.
Don't Say Woke
Amen, Brother Greg, you are as right as rain in the Big Country.
I agree ☝️
I think religious differences are at the heart of much of the world's problems.
Religious differences are at the heart of many of our problems.

I'd even settle for a modicum of civility.
Love that decency word. I’ve been using it ever since Trump got elected. Bravo Jim
Woke is another word for bullies to demean others like “spaz” or “tard”.
Bullies don’t grow up they just get older.
So true, what you write. I really don't like that word, woke... but you nailed it. Bring DECENCY back.
"A voice cries out in the wilderness, "Make straight the way for the Lord.'
And for Christ's sake, can we get a little decency around here?'"
