These meme has me on edge S2.
The similar postures, back to back.
I am NOT pro-abortion. Some of the anti-choice rhetoric may have some merit. BUT !
I'm pro-choice.
I'm disgusted with the hypocrites that claim to admire / support noble conservative principles:
- smaller, less intrusive, less authoritarian government, BUT !
Find a social issue and the neo-cons & pseudo-cons demand big authoritarian government solutions.
They do that about deporting non-citizens.
They do that about abortion.
They do that about LGBTQ.

Holy Father:
In literal-minded simplicity you are correct.
But the fact remains, "woke" is used precisely as an insult.
"Woke" is an expression of dismissive contempt used as an insult by those whose sociopolitical positions are antithetical to reasoned conclusions. Why?
Because the application of reason threatens, undermines the MAGA agenda.
Since they can't logically, legitimately, persuasively debate, advocate for their position, they dismiss that do not share it.

In the last decade it has been used by some Republicans — and some Democrats — as a pejorative for people thought to be too “politically correct,” another term that took on negative connotations as it gained wider use.
