Message from GOP to MAGAts:

Don't support 'woke' corporations, organizations, or policies.

Don't buy 'woke' toys, or 'woke' candy for your children.

Don't allow your kids to be educated by 'woke' teachers.

Don't shop at 'woke' grocery stores, or fill-up at 'woke' gas stations.

Don't vote for 'woke' politicians.

Don't fall for the lies of 'woke' scientists and doctors, who rely on 'woke' ideas like scientific and medical facts.

Don't allow 'woke' people to serve in our military.

Don't let 'woke' judges determine what the law is.


But above all else:

Don't ask us what 'woke' is, because we haven't a fucking clue.

I'd rather be enlightened, aware, woke, informed, cognizant, smart, inquisitive than just plain STUPID or any other word for it.

liberal or ism of the day. Without Pox News these scare words don't spread like Covid. The pro Covid party loves to abuse the rubes and dupes who worship Russian propaganda (AKA Pox News). That Orwell guy knew something.

But they have no idea of what they even mean by it.

Hopefully it will bite them in the ass.

They may as well belch, fart, and grunt for all the conveyance of information that happens.

Republicans and Trump supporters don't have to know what WOKE means specifically, merely that it labels everything they dismiss, hate and rail against.

It's shorthand for every grievance they have against modernity and progress.

They call us WOKE? I call them Sleep-Walkers.

Thanks for the OP!
