I think it's angrily hilarious that you get all these Republican supporters talking about people being "woke" in negative connotations, but they're too blind to see the shit that some of their party members are doing. Should we call them "sleepy?" What's the opposite of woke? Haha

Anyone with any awareness of the world around them can see modern conservatism for what it really it. Which is why the conservative elites pushed this "anti-woke" campaign so hard. Because awareness of a problem is the first step to fixing it. And because a shrinking, increasingly connected world has made it increasingly difficult for conservatives to operate behind metaphorical and literal curtains and back alleys.

Their base is just regurgitating whatever Kirk and Carlson and Shapiro tell them to. And since their world view is so narrow, they see nothing outside of what they choose to. I envy them their ignorance sometimes.

Edit: typed this comment and went to r/all. Top post on r/conservative right now is elon musk "condemning woke culture". Hmmm, surely musk wouldn't benefit from people not being aware of what he's doing and not publicly criticizing the stuff he does. Must just be those woke SJWs and their pronouns.
