It kind of shows that your mom actually put a little thought into the meaning of the word “woke” instead of just using it to mean “liberal stuff I don’t like”
It’s supposed to mean that you’re aware of the various problems in the world, that you’re “awake” and paying attention as opposed to “asleep” and blissfully unaware while it all goes down around you
Of course she’s dead-wrong about what’s going on, the world she thinks exists around her in just a weird fever dream and she is absolutely not woke
But even that tiny bit of being able to think about the words you’re saying and not just spewing some 1984 duckspeak is so rare among conservatives that it almost feels like it should be celebrated in some small way.
