    Yeah, they rebranded “politically correct” to “woke” because the dumbass hillbilly rednecks that make up their voter base can’t remember anything longer than one syllable.

    All that “politically correct” or “woke” or “liberal”, for that matter, means these days is “I’m mad I can’t be racist or an asshole to people I don’t like in public.”

    It’s a blatantly obvious codeword or trigger that people can use in public while hiding their ignorance and racism behind a thin veneer. Bonus is they get to laugh about it with their equally idiot friends and pretend that no one else understands what’s going on. It’s the rallying cry of the “I’m a dumbass, uneducated,moron club”.
