Woke is a brilliant and evil political manipulation tool. As a conservative politician, you never have to state a position on any topic anymore. You just say you're against all the woke stuff and your captive idiots just assume you agree with them. They hear exactly what they want to hear.
The unemployed auto sector worker believes "woke" means Chinese EVs.
The bigots believe "woke" means allowing gay people to exist.
The wealthy believe "woke" means making rich people like them actually pay taxes.
It's a shortcut around actually saying anything of substance. You can get two people whose agendas are completely opposed to both believe that you are on their side because they both accept that "woke" means the thing they hate. And since you just said that you hate "woke", then you hate the same thing they do so they will support you through anything now.
Woke is the new 'unamerican' label, which was used to criticize protests, equality, etc.
Yeah “Woke” is basically how “Trotskyite” was used during Stalin’s regime. Everyone they don’t like and opposes them just gets the label. It’s a word they can use to give their followers permission to hate someone without having their followers use their own fucking brains.
This is why their interlocutors should always be asking what they mean by woke but apparently that's too hard for a journalist
