The whole "woke" buzzword thing is just dumb. It's just the latest bigotry dogwhistle / Fox "News" Pavlovian Response Training, where chuds are trained to react with visceral disgust at any word.
They made the chuds flip about WelFaRe QuEeN, HilLaRy, bEnGaZi, SoCiaLiSM and LIbRuLS and now WoKe. Fox could train these people to hate the word TURNIP.
Calling wokeness a buzzword is like calling pornography a buzzword. People may struggle to define it, and definitions vary a lot, but everyone knows it when they see it.
That its hard to pin down is 1) why we’re even discussing this here, and 2) why the Republockans keep using it as a cudgel.
