A Key Sign Americans Are Turning Against Wokeness
USA Today published an odd story claiming the majority of Americans have a favorable view of the term “woke.” The editors were kind enough to offer a blanket warning to Republicans that attacking such a favorably viewed term may be a bad idea. However, the problem for USA Today is this poll was conducted online by voluntary participants. The statistical significance of this is akin to posting a question to your buddies on Facebook and inferring the data on the country as a whole.
What I find more telling about the country’s true view on the term woke comes from standup comedians who make a living saying out loud what their audience is thinking. From Chris Rock to Dave Chappelle to Bill Burr to Neal Brennan, almost every progressive comedian is ridiculing woke ideology on progressive platforms like Netflix and Hulu. Republicans need to pay attention to this. Let me explain:
Once upon a time (not so long ago), to be “woke” was a compliment recognizing an awareness of and respect for differences between black and white cultures. Words used to mean things; now words are weaponized to mean whatever group speaking wants them to mean.
Yes, spot on. Republicans need to focus on this instead of the insane, radical, anti-American candidates the GOP keeps putting into elections!
