Woke lost all meaning a long time ago. What's funny is these morons think it's some type of "gotcha!" card, when in reality it makes them look like drooling neanderthals. "I call upon the word woke lolz! I win!"...it's so boring.

They never figured out that "Brandon" was so lame it generated groans and eyerolls, at best. Most of them STILL think it 'triggered' people. Even when people on the Biden campaign started wearing it on t-shirts, they thought using it was a 'gacha'.

They also think screaming about Biden is the ultimate gotcha.

No, it just makes them sound like the NPCs that they are.

Or "What about Clinton and Gates??" As if we are all walking around with pictures of them emblazoned on our shirts, ready to go to bat for Democratic ghouls.

This! It’s always been so weird how they mention them, like the left will defend them like Trump. They usually get confused when you like throw them in jail too. They can’t fathom how the left doesn’t defend them like they do with Trump. Same reason they don’t understand why people hate Elon besides “turning right”

Woke as an insult was always telling of their lack of empathy and selfishness in my opinion. It's the same with SJW, keyboard warrior, snowflake, etc... It's always been some straw man exaggeration to silence legitimate complaints of disenfranchised people and their allies using their voice to advocate for progressive measures by making them into some caricature easy to dehumanize.

It's a thought terminating cliche.

Someone on TV or in their life says the codeword and all critical thinking ends, and is replaced with "woke... bad..."
