  Woke words are new made up words or words used in a context to prove a progressive point.

  So works (or phrases) like:

  • Civil rights Act of 1964
  • Equal Pay Act of 1963
  • Brown v. Bd. of Education of Topeka, 347 U.S. 483 (1954)
  • Loving v. Virginia, 388 U.S. 1 (1967)
  • Obergefell v. Hodges, 576 U.S. 644 (2015)

  “Woke” is just another word to use to describe something that isn’t conservative enough. There is nothing temporal about it these days.

  If you think a word or action is bad, it’s “woke”. The word to describe someone who is not conservative enough is “librul”.

  The actual definitions or proper context does not matter to people who just parrot what they hear.

  How long do you think the word woke, with any of the definitions (specifically the original), has been in use?

        Woke
        
        Umbrella term for individuals who are engrossed by social justice and thinks of themselves as saviors with a moral high ground, but remain willfully ignorant to the irrationality of their claims and the problems they create. These individuals give special treatment to certain minorities in hopes of ending racism and perpetuate mental illnesses as the norm.
