"Woke" is more of a political weapon created by the right than any actual real concept.

There's no consistent or fixed definition of woke. It's a blanket term applied to anything that MAGA dislikes at any given moment. Woke's only purpose is to manufacture outrage, and it didn't exist as a concept until MAGA made it one.



Case in point: Dems in 2024 did not run on trans issues, almost at all, and yet Republicans spent millions to give the impression that they did.


[flagged]


“Their "first-ever female four-star admiral" appointed to lead the public health corps, which they falsely touted as a historic win for women, was actually a male transvestite.”

What the fuck are you on about? The first female four-star admiral was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelle_Howard, years before Levine.


For one, the party either was in favor or did not take a clear stance on issues such as trans people in women's sports, DEI practices and other similar "woke" issues. That was enough to turn off a huge number of voters. Democrats of the Clinton era would have easily defeated Trump.
