Gee, I dunno. It's been working out so well for the right so far.

I don't mean it's working, it's just that the term has gotten completely away from them.

Anyone who complains about something being "woke" is a bigot and/or racist. That's not up for debate.

I love how "SJW" became a synonym for an actual villain as if it ever meant anything harmful. The worst part is that it seems even the left has accepted "SJW" as something negative.

It's an issue manufactured by Republicans.

The word had no popularity or common usage prior to 2020. Even today it's not a word commonly used in left wing conversation (excluding right wingers bringing it up), nor is it some popular or common word among us black people (which is usually the next direction of these type of topics).

I maintain the stance that Democrats should clown Republicans every time they start screeching something is woke again.

True. Insult Republicans to their faces. Accurately call them out as hate-mongering, insecure liars who just want people to suffer.

Libertarian is worse. So is communism.

With "woke" right-wingers are just flailing around trying to make sense of things, but with those they have an actual thing that they can point to. Even if said things are dubious at best.

People complaining about "wokeness" are akin to people that complain about vegetarians and vegans.

Sure, there are some annoying vegans, and PETA sometimes does something dumb from time to time. But those annoyance are trivial compared to the shear number of assholes that bitch and moan about people with other dietary habits than their own that had no impact on them. There are way more annoying meateaters.

Same for those that complain about woke things. Sure, some changes and demands from supposed woke folks are laughibly dumb, but the vehement and impotent rage against it is a thousand times worse than anything real or imagined against the woke crowd.

Not to mention that "woke" is nothing more than a nebulous catchall for anything that the far right dislikes anyway.

If you mean "alert to racial prejudice and discrimination" then it's a great thing. If you mean the latest culture war thing, then it can't be a problem until people can actually define it. So long as it means "stuff wot conservatives dun liek" then it's meaningless.

Sure, but there are a few thousand annoying vegans versus a few million annoying complainers about vegans. The scales have long-since tilted.

If they wanted it to be a good representation they would require that "Yes" posters would have to actually post, the lack of an IP lock is just a furthering of that.

It's a non-issue except when people get violent or unreasonable about it. There are some rare cases of people trying to force others to conform to their way of thinking, then going off on a destructive rant when they're denied.

Very rare, not a thing that detracts from the general direction of tolerance and understanding... but such incidents do provide fuel for people to falsely justify the hate.

MAGAs moonlight in not wanting women's sports as well. Wanting trans people out is just a perceived "crack" in the system.

I know that what you're actually referring to is transgender women in women's sports, and I wish that the extreme left would stop trying to present this as a right-wing talking point.

The reality is that the vast majority of the left does not support transgender women being in women's sports leagues. We're talking 90%+ of the people who would vote for Biden. It's only in these terminally online communities that you see support for trans women being included in women's sports.

You can be supportive of transgender people and their rights while still not wanting them to be included in women's sports. This isn't comparable to a bathroom or a military situation.

It would make sense if someone had made a joke to respond to, yes. However, when you respond to a logical argument with a joke, it makes it look like you don't have an actual rebuttal. That's how you get people in the middle to go to the other side. They see one side making a point, the other side writing it off, they assume the side making the point is in the right.

I believe in socialized healthcare. I believe in socialized education. I strongly advocate for more regulation in securities. I'm pro-choice. I would tax higher incomes at a much, much higher rate than we currently have. I'm in support of sending aid to Ukraine. I think Biden has done a pretty solid job. If AOC ran for President, I'd be likely to vote for her.

Are you really labeling someone like that as right-winger because they don't want transgender women in women's sports? That's all it takes to be right-wing in your mind?
