You're making up shit. What you say you are is irrelevant to what woke is, and conservatives are not calling it that. You're trying to make a back-handed argument that we're not open-minded, or pro-science. <<< complete nonsense.I am indeed tolerant, open-minded, progressive, and pro-science, but "woke" is what conservatives call me when they want to insult me without getting reprimanded by the site.
Nah. We actually shake our heads when your propagandists find the next person who says something outrageous and tells you that’s what everybody on the left believes.
I don’t believe everybody on the right thinks the election was stolen. That’s why I call those who do Talk Radio Conservatives, to distinguish them fro regular conservatives AND identify the vector by which they came to those beliefs.
What many Progressives tout as progressive (i.e., govt control) is how mankind was governed for virtually all of history. The US Constitution, and the founding institutions protected by conservatives, and NEW and is the actual progressive approach to governing. Personal responsibility, self-government lead to an open market of ideas IS progressive.Which, among the “woke” traits listed by the OP, are not political (i.e. calling for government action) in nature?
The idea that someone opposed to mask (which includes a nearly worthless single layer of cloth) mandates are “pro-science” is simply not so.
The idea that sex (for purposes of participation in women’s sports) is determined by a personal desire, rather than a biological state of being, may be open-minded, yet is not tolerant or pro-science.
Attempts to limit gun efficiency and/or magazine capacity are not open-minded or tolerant, but they are touted as being progressive views.
Progressives typically want more government regulation and/or control (usually at the federal government level) and less personal freedom. While all progress is the result of change, not all change results in progress.
I have to wonder why someone would oppose being tolerant, open-minded, and pro-science.?
Well played, sir. Well played.The right has been trying to redefine "Woke" to fit their narrative, as they've been groomed to do.
No, look it up. It was originally an African American term used to describe the fight against oppression.
That's pretty funny, coming from you.You're making up shit.
Ron DeSantis is woke?Bullshit thread of the highest order...
Leaving the pro-science on the sidelines for a moment, the harsh truth is today's "woke" cancel culture progressivism is neither tolerant or open-minded. Rather today's progressivism is hate filled, willing to marginalize, and vilify for saying *anything* contrary to their authoritarianism, intentions, and wants from governance.
To suggest otherwise is a blatant lie.

Your post read like an old saying you just made up, or in other words, made as much sense as to jump means the same thing as to fall down.Woke means you’re very intolerant and opposed to science.
.......as I said I am not progressive in the political sense. However, I am a liberal and I do believe that complex issues are just that....complex. Others' attitudes towards them cannot be summed up in one overused/misused word. It serves as nothing more than to shut down the conversation when one has no cogent argument.Which, among the “woke” traits listed by the OP, are not political (i.e. calling for government action) in nature?

You really want to know?How can you be so sure woke people haven't been groomed?
The more and more I hear from these people the more and more they seem like church ladies.
Ron DeSantis is woke?
IMO, only a woke person can build a deck as nice as you.No. I do not consider myself to be progressive.
Desantis is running his state on Cancel Culture & the "hate filled, willing to marginalize, and vilify for saying *anything* contrary to their authoritarianism, intentions, and wants from governance." I was only trying to verify who you were speaking of.No, he is just an asshole.
Whataboutism dismissed.
Since liberals run the education in this country, I guess you did a poor job, didn't you? Your statement is bullshit in light of the constant refrain from the Left that blacks are not attending good schools (thus poorly educated), AND are Democrat constituents.When you consider that poorly educated people are the bread and butter of right-wing ideology, it starts to make sense.
Who is "we"?You really want to know?
Because we don’t all agree with every single aspect like you do with what you are told.
There is nuance born of thought and rejection of some aspects.
Neither of which we see from the TRC cohort.
Y’all go all in on every narrative you’re fed.

The right-wing is masterful at taking a positive and spinning it into a negative for their culture wars.

you like to think of yourself as woke, but hate being called woke? LOL now that's effing hilarious!I like to think of myself that way but the term "woke" makes me crazy. The right throw it around like the term"socialism". They don't have a clue what either word means.

That is the purpose of the narratives coming from conservative media.Hmm… it seems that you have decided to equate “woke” with “everybody on the left”. The post to which you replied specifically said “woke person” and you immediately decided (assumed?) that was meant to include “everybody on the left”.
Please back up your statement with a link to a definition of woke.If a “woke” person says that we need to destigmatize pedophilia, you must nod in agreement to also be “woke”.
