          oh. Eh, they didn’t need to change “woke” to make it a bad word, so I just use MAGA as-is derogatorily.

            Bonus Points! That li’l “t” can be voiced with just breath alone as a “swallowed” or “glottal” fricative, (like the S. London “innit”, etc.) for added & effortless effect whenever thinking/reading “MAGA” — aloud or to yourself. It works every time.

            Every single MAGA idiot = MAGAt. There are many, many kinds, colors, stripes, shapes, sizes, etc. They’re all maggots, though. And they might be known for devouring mountains of shit by the throatful, but they’ll eat you too without hesitation.

            Secondly, though? Let’s do us all a favor and not use anything they do as a model of rational, much less good practices, hmm?

            “They” didn’t change “woke” because “they” don’t change fuck all. Their minders tell them what to scream & froth over, and their psyops’ flipping of “woke” is to target anything that doesn’t come directly outta their Führder’s prolapsed Putin-holes. Full stop.

              Seems kinda naïve to view it that way. Even trump-hating centrists use the word “woke” negatively these days. I’m not saying they’re rational, I’m just saying you have to take the threat seriously.

                Oh, I take it incredibly seriously, as indicated by how wistfully nonchalant my suggestions are.

                Almost as if a fascist political party funded by the data & power barons that puppet the species has weaponized an originally Black American term to be incendiary against any topic they feel like — and there’s fuck & all any of us can do about it. 😅

                So, jokes it is. Gallows humor wins out sometimes, right? 🤷🏼‍♂️ Why, what you got on that plan?
