    Republicans, Unable to Define "Woke"


    Young Republicans Are Begging Party Elders To Stop Saying ‘Woke’

    To the young Republicans, the vernacular feels a bit cringe. “We don’t really use ‘woke’ as our term,” says Evan Masse, a student at the Community College of Rhode Island. Chris Johnson, the managing director of
    Young Conservatives for Carbon Dividends, likened its use to how an out-of-touch uncle might search for the words to describe a nephew at the Thanksgiving table.

    “I think a lot of older folks use it if they don’t really know what they’re referring to,” he says. “It’s a catchall colloquialism.”

    Some young conservatives worry that going so hard on “woke” — a term now used almost entirely derogatorily by Republican detractors — will turn off upcoming generations of voters already disinclined to support the GOP.​

    The way most on the Right use “woke”, it really is just shorthand for “whatever I really hate about people on the Left”.

    It is true that right wing people for over a century attached communism to cultural social movements of inclusivity. Nazis and Hitler loved the term "Cultural Bolshevikism" which is the exact same thing as "woke" which shows that the right over time wants to use less syllables in their coined propaganda phrases.


    I could see Maher in 1930s Germany seeing his Jewish or Romani or gay neighbor being forcefully transported and just standing outside with a cup of coffee watching them.

    The originals were young Republican supporters of Lincoln and called themselves the "Wide Awakes." They were against slavery, for national infrastructure, and for the right to strike. By the 1860 election, there were perhaps 500,000 Wide Awakes, mostly young men. A good number of them immediately volunteered when the Civil War started.

    Zizek is wrong about a lot, but these words ring true (coming from the far left as I have):

    “Of course, such “leftists” are sheep in wolves’ clothing, telling themselves that they are radical revolutionaries as they defend the reigning establishment. … Western political correctness (“wokeness”) has displaced class struggle, producing a liberal elite that claims to protect threatened racial and sexual minorities in order to divert attention from its members’ own economic and political power. At the same time, this lie allows alt-right populists to present themselves as defenders of “real” people against corporate and “deep state” elites, even though they, too, occupy positions at the commanding heights of economic and political power.“
