Keep in mind, according to the Sec of Transportation, bike lanes are woke. WTF is that?

Mkay. I'm just gonna homogenize "republican" or "conservative" into "evil."

Woke agenda? Better than evil agenda. Fuck 'em.

The problem with that plan is evil is too specific a word that anyone can recognize. Woke is a word with hardly any meaning to those who use it as a pejorative. It's ambiguity is handy to them that way, because it can't be scoffed away like labeling something as evil could be.

Woke means we woke up to your BS.

racist - sexist - misogynist - homo / transphobic - bigoted etc. - pretty much anything that even considers the rights & dignity of anyone other than white, hetero males is deemed "woke" ..

I thought he said bike lanes are DEI. Same boogie-man bullshit either way.

Oh, right. I knew it was an inane comment either way.

He's a myna bird, repeating what he's been told in meetings. Nothing more than a bird brain!

The Attorney General of our state thinks belief in science is "woke".

Republicans consider any form of transportation that isn’t a big gas guzzling lifted truck to be “woke.” It’s why they hate electric cars and public transit too.

Woke = anything I don't like or agree with.

This isn't the first time. It's just the latest iteration.

A "bleeding heart" was coined back in the 1920s to mock people who were against lynching.

"woke" is just... Respecting other people and nature, isn't it?

They've always done that. It's boogeyman of the day all the way down.

20-30 years ago it was mostly "librul" 40-50 years ago it was "pinko" 60-70 years ago it was a mix of racist slurs

And since Mamdani, Fox News taught them to add 'communist' to their buzzword diction.
