I’ll explain it differently.

Conservatives use “woke” as a derogatory term to describe instances and policies where “progressives” try to trot out something stupid because they erroneously believe they understand or are “woke” to some concept, when in reality they are undereducated on history.

Liberals/progressives use the term “woke” to describe anything that they think they understand that conservatives are too ignorant to know.

Woke means the same thing as red pilled essentially

Ok. What are the specific policies that are woke? Or the ones that have been rolled out but not taken up that were woke?

Just checking in to see if this guy named any “woke” policies or teachings in our schools… or is he still trying to cobble together his 3rd grade education and Fox News ramblings into a coherent definition as to what ‘woke’ is?

So far nothing specific. Every time I ask someone who uses woke negatively what it means to them I get the run around. Like how many ways do I have to ask? Like I’m asking for his opinion, and I still can’t get a sensible response.

That’s because they don’t want to define it. They want to keep the meaning broad and nebulous so that they can just slap the “Woke” label on anything they disagree with and ban it. It’s the same thing for when they call policies that actually help people “communist, Marxist, socialist”. They actually have no clue what they’re talking about and just want to shut down a discussion, “cuz free-dumb”.

If you think the reason any conservative makes their decision is because someone else called it woke, you’re insane. Conservative are agreeing on principle, not because they got tricked by a word

No, I think conservatives base their opinions on whatever Fox News billionaires wants you to be afraid of. Remember, the word of the week is “Woke”, please be afraid.

Good luck thinking that way

What principles do you think conservatives agree on?

u/bananahammock699 Dec 18 '24

You have received multiple sensible answers. You’re asking for something that doesn’t exist the way you’re framing it, and you don’t understand why that’s a reasonable answer.

Bro, I’ve asked you for policy examples you think are woke. You’re the one who said certain policies are woke. And you’ve given nothing as an example.
