If you think woke is the problem, try reading the US Constitution and amendments. Really read them. Pretend you didn't know it was the Constitution. One woke idea after another. Basically if you don't believe in woke, you're in the wrong freaking country.

@davew Unfortunately they don't know what 'woke' means, only their distorted version of it. Pejoration sucks.

@denny@boing.world

i don't care.

@davew same could be said of Jesus' teachings

@davew They only care about parts of constitution that fits their narrow view. There's also no "America is christian country" bullshit in it, just freedom to practice any religion, including christianity.

@davew When more than a few people read that document, they mentally insert the phrase "(for straight white men)" in various convenient spots.

@davew The Constitution has many many protections! 🕉️☮️❤️Protect our human rights through separation of church and state!

@davew like when NPR got in trouble for posting the declaration of independence.

@Finitum

I wonder if you could say that without the obnoxious terminology.

@davew
I truly wish the word ‘Woke’ wasn’t used. Like ‘Liberal’ and ‘Conservative’ it is nothing more, currently, than a coded swear word perpetrated by infotainers to improve rating. I’ve never talked to two people who can even agree on a definition for the word.

@mildpeach @davew

I believe people say woke because they want to accentuate how absurd it. Is to use "woke" as a pejorative.

Funny because on this side of the pond, the name of the conservative faction of government is literally "the Liberal Party".

@davew So true. The whole US Constitution is W-O-K-E. Thanks for bringing light to this fact.

@davew MAGA would cgladdly do away for the Amendments - except for the second one of course. The rest have been nothing but trouble.

@VirginiaHolloway

i don't care about MAGAs, I care about everyone else.
