I wasn't sure where to put this, but this is probably one of the best explanation of "woke" I've seen. We need a place to gather up all the great comebacks to help our less thoughtful relatives, friends, neighbors, and others "get" it.

Does anyone have a Thread Reader addy for this? All I can see, even on the Twitter site is this first post, so I've seen none of the comeback. I know I'm a few days late and that even if someone had a way to read the whole thing they might not anymore, but I figured I'd ask on the off chance I could find out what was said.
Thanks!!

Thanks for sharing the thread. Good read. I still don’t completely get what ‘woke’.

Those who aren't woke are asleep.
I recognize that Earthlings must spend 1/3 of their lives unconscious.. It's an unfathomable tragedy. You miss a third of your life!
Prove me wrong.
But why prolong your most helpless and defenseless, and least cognizant state? Wake up and smell the covfefe, and that's my final rulin' on the subject.
Then you'll be all woke and stuff.

I have never used the word 'woke' to describe my political views.
I think maybe the Republicans made it up.

There's a whole history of the term "woke" going back decades. Check out Wikipedia's article on the term - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woke.
