California Gov. Gavin Newsom ripped into President Donald Trump’s administration on Saturday, saying the MAGA agenda is “literally putting America in reverse.”
“I can’t take what’s going on. I mean, no bullshit. I can’t take it. Every single day, every single hour, and it’s not even about Dems versus Republicans, it’s about this country and what we stand for,” Newsom said on “All the Smoke” podcast.
Yep. Using the word woke as a pejorative in the first place is silly.
Be proud of that shit. I’m woke as fuck

Gavin Newsom sure has some un-woke beliefs and positions for someone saying stuff like “Anti-woke is anti-black”

Gavin Newsom has exactly what it takes to defend this country from identity politics strawmen.

Anti-woke is anti-trans more than anything else, but of course Newsom won’t say that. He is the worst.

“Woke” is just a shorthand comprehensive term for discriminating against hundreds of groups of people simultaneously. It’s anti-black, but it’s so much more. It’s discrimination against everyone who isn’t male, heterosexual, white and Christian. It’s the most disrespectful word that could be spoken, and it’s used casually by people like Donald Trump and Kkkaroline Leavitt

He’s not wrong, but the right are the only ones I’ve been noticing to use the “woke” term these days as a catch-all for anyone or anything they don’t like.
Also last I checked, Trump is anti-latino. Unless we see him recognize the KKK as a group “that meant well”, sics ICE on the Obamas or Harris, or he starts deporting African-Americans to African countries, he can definitely be considered racist to one specific group more than anyone else.
Though let’s be real here, that going to happen sooner rather than later.

It is antiblack but it is bigger than that. They use “woke” as a cover for anti-fascism.
They are anti-civil rights.
They are anti-diversity.
They are anti-science.
They are anti-liberal democracy.
They are anti-enlightenment.
They are anti-freedom.
They anti-rule of law.
People should stopping use their word.
And wake the fuck up.

How is being “woke” a bad thing? I mean, would you honestly rather be asleep?
I suppose all those people that are fine being asleep are about to get fucked when those SNAP cards stop working and health insurance skyrockets next month. Maybe then they’ll get “woke” somehow I doubt it

MAGA should be MAWA because what it’s really about is making America White again.

OK…. keep talking like this Gavin and I might not find you utterly contemptible

I mean, the term was coined to at first describe people who were aware of corruption targeting black people. Not too far off the mark. It’s now a general term for being generally elightened and aware.

This is accurate. If you look at all the anti-dei and anti-woke decisions, they all end up targeting POC. Removing any mention of those that have accomplished things of significance. Anything where those involved are POc, suddenly they will be viewed as DEI.
Essentially any contract or reward to someone POC is now going to be viewed as woke and DEI. Well, I guess there is one exception. They also target women too. Pretty much the government views woke as anything woman related or black related.

I always think of Plato and the Allegory of the Cave, waking up and seeing the truth/light. Anti-woke is ignorance, willful and deliberate, plain and simple. Ignorance to suffering, to compassion, to equality, to reality.

True, but don’t let Newsom trick you into thinking he’s more than another plutocrat who wants to be king.
