Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

“Anti-woke”
Oxford English Dictionary for woke:
Then I tried to look up the definition for “progressive” in the OED
In any case, Google gave me:
Followed by the antonym, regressive
So, to make sure we’re all on the same page here, “anti-woke” means returning to a less developed state. And while that should be obvious to those who realize the right wants female homemakers, policies to end any LGBTQ+ rights, and a country with defined classism and racism, to many it’s just a tribalist sign post everyone supporting them wants to write their name on.
Yes. But Repubs don't think about what they are reading or writing. The propaganda gets them to attach that word with any other concept of the brainwashers' choice.
If you do a word association game with Repubs and toss out "woke" they will immediately say "mob." Some of them cannot even write or say "woke" alone without adding "mob," it is so ingrained.
You (correctly) imagine "woke" to be regarding awareness about discrimination and (likely) working to stop injustice. Repubs imagine "woke mob BLM Antifa invaders razing cities." Well, "raze," is probably above their reading comprehension level, but you get the idea.
