I realize this is preaching to the choir here but I thought I'd tell about something that happened earlier today.
I went out to a local watering hole to watch some football, drink a couple of beers and have a burger. The NFL is promoting (gasp!) actually voting on November 8 and teams are offering up their stadiums to help out. And sure enough some magat said " goddam, even the NFL is woke. What's going on? Maybe it's time to say screw them."
People were looking at him very strangely and one guy said. " Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out." The guy finished his food and he and his buddies left shortly thereafter. The place was far better off without him in there. But me and a few other guys agreed that he was a stone cold idiot.

I am trying to figure out what this guy is trying to say.

(511 posts)Nobody really talked to him after that. I suppose the majority of the people simply wanted to watch football, drink beer and eat food. And they're not really that idiotic.

(47,446 posts)Right.
If I am watching an Ohio State football game and eating a hamburger, I sure as heck don't want to hear some nitwit mouthing off like Trump.

Got it thanks.
Sometimes I need someone to translate MAGA language.

(4,414 posts)when 'too many people' vote....
When 'too many people' vote, too many Democrats vote, and the Democrats tend to win.
That is why mail-in voting leads to "voter fraud"-- because too many people vote, which means too many Democrats vote.
So getting more people to vote is obviously a liberal plot, and anything liberal is also "woke".
(I should know, I'm in on it...)
It is rather simple, actually...
Meadowoak
(5,560 posts)Now that we all take it much more seriously, not so much. They learned that lesson 40 years ago. Vote EVERY time, top to bottom. Now that the Democrats WOKE up, it scares the shit out of them because they know we can beat them every time if we all just vote

(23,297 posts)There is no original thought in these people. They simply parrot what the person they worship says. They don't really understand it, they just want to be one of the 'cool' kids.
Midnight Writer
(21,803 posts)Trigger words are like bombs. They immediately end any rational discussion, often on either side. That is why their leaders encourage the use of them.
They short-circuit logical reasoning and allow emotions to take over.
To understand the MAGA movement, just think of an angry, spoiled teen-age boy. With lots of hormones.

(9,178 posts)...to confirm which people they should hate, and to praise their taste for political violence.
They'd prefer a Trump-led, Putin-style dictatorship in which voting is unnecessary window dressing to cover a foregone conclusion.
They are anti-American trash.

ProfessorGAC
(65,203 posts)They did it for sure in Chicago but the stadium is municipally owned. So, it wasn't technically the Bears. But, the team did promote it as a voting & ballot drop site.
BOSSHOG
(37,109 posts)The commercials which were very made were also encouraging the conservative genius to vote. I saw zip zero nada partisanship in those commercials. No doubt a liberal plot.
Piss off the patriots with woke commercials to the point that theyll tear up their voter registration cards.

(3,976 posts)I lost so much respect for him at that very moment. Not only did he reveal himself (a 68-year-old broke, never had a girlfriend/friend, living in poverty) to be a homophobe, but he also has no idea what "woke" actually means. SMH. I don't want people like that in my life. Fuck 'em!

(4,414 posts)would be better. It would encourage those who consider themselves 'woke' to vote,
while planting a negative connotation to voting with the anti-woke people...
unweird
(2,551 posts)Yeah, I like the way that rolls around in the old head. Encourages those who are aware to step up while playing against the political paradigm of team Republican to oppose all things woke.

Yeah, I know this isn't how democracy works, we need the idiots from time to time to balance out our overthinking things, but I can still dream.

(14,176 posts)even though I'm positive no lefty group purposely came up with it as a mantra.
Like some brilliant Youtubers found a way to own "Brandon" with "Dark Brandon"
It took long enough for our side to even own the word "liberal". Even though we know that most Americans issue by issue, also share liberal values.
So we are "woke" awake, aware of who is lying and who is not. So we are woke to the concept of a more peaceful society that comes with respecting minority rights in all arenas. So what?

(6,216 posts)As in, "I was asleep, and then I woke up".
We spend about 16 hours awake, that is woke, and about 8 hours asleep.
But, the MAGAT'S are brain dead zombies, and spend 24 hours a day totally asleep.
