      Oh geez a Pentagon psy-op, now? Last I heard the theory was her partner’s gridiron team got manipulated into the finals so they could win and she could give a speech endorsing Biden.

      (Manipulated, I guess, by the infamously liberal…NFL…??)

        Yep! They are working together to bring down conservative America as they are too woke.

        (Him for telling his fans to get vaccinated, and her for telling her fans to vote.)

        Bonus: Funny clip of an American conservative trying to define what “woke” means. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7iWEEcPKoQ

          Ok that video actually comes across to me as not as bad as it might at first seem.

          Like, I think she’s obviously not very articulate when put on the spot, but that’s not a sign of lack of understanding necessarily, it’s a sign of social awkwardness. And I think she’s right that yeah, “woke” is difficult to define. But from the little bits she did get out “total reimagine and redo society in order to create hierarchies of oppression”, I don’t even necessarily think she’s wrong.

          Woke, to me, is about being aware of intersectional oppressive systems, which necessarily comes with a desire to overturn those systems. A conservative would choose to deny that the systems are oppressive, or that there is any intersectionality to the oppression, and some more extreme reactionaries (which I suspect she might be) even pretend the ideas to overturn the oppression are actually creating oppression, but the basic idea that someone being “woke” wants to “redo society” and “[something something] hierarchies of oppression” isn’t so bad, as a way of defining it.
