“The woke mind virus is destroying America!”
What You Say
'Woke' started as Black slang for staying aware of injustice. It's been repurposed as a catch-all insult for anything conservatives dislike: diversity, inclusion, accurate history, LGBTQ+ rights. It's not a policy agenda — it's a branding campaign to make empathy sound dangerous. Name the specific policy you oppose; 'woke' isn't an argument.
The Stab
You turned 'being aware of racism' into a slur. That's not a diagnosis — that's the disease.
