    I'm wondering why you can't figure woke out. Fiscal conservative? LOL! I doubt it.

    I've read that shit twice now. Nowhere in it does it declare that indigent children's lunch money will be withheld as punishment in states where guidelines like this have been prohibited by law. Let these rat bastards sue the states instead of punishing innocent children. Since they won't take the appropriate legal action, it's left up to the states to once again be better than the Biden Administration.

    You obviously have trouble with the truth:

    What Does 'Woke' Mean? | Merriam-Webster

    Just an easy search. Merriam-Webster is close to the top of the page. You do know who Merriam-Webster is don't you? shaking head)

    You are opposed to being “aware of and actively attentive to important facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice)"?

    Given his obstinance in every interaction this last week, I quite positive he's inattentive to facts in any form. In his own words, he won't change.

    Yes, the way the democratic socialist communists are using them. They have done nothing more than to divide the nation likely more than it has been since the Civil War. Thanks a lot, dems. Not.

    Damn straight. It's you who needs to change. I'm going to guess I'm older than you and certainly know more than you so there is that metric going on here.

    Let me "See Spot Run" this for you.

    FDA: here's some money to feed low income children.

    State: cool.. thanks. Big Government rocks!

    FDA: but you must distribute it fairly.

    State: what do you mean?

    FDA: you cannot discriminate who gets the meals.

    State: what if I only want to feed cisgender and straight kids?

    FDA: that would not be consistent with Bostock v. Clayton County, in which the Court held that the prohibition on sex discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

    State: so how you gonna stop me?

    FDA: we'll stop the funds.

    State: that's discrimination against discrimination!! See you in court!

    FDA: okay

    Partisan idiots: the FDA is using children as hostages.

    I copy and pasted this from Merriam-Webster

    The new sense of 'woke' is gaining popularity


    What to Know
    Woke is now defined in this dictionary as “aware of and actively attentive to important facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice),” and identified as U.S. slang. It originated in African American English and gained more widespread use beginning in 2014 as part of the Black Lives Matter movement. By the end of that same decade it was also being applied by some as a general pejorative for anyone who is or appears to be politically left-leaning.

    So you use the alternative definition as a perjorative to anyone socially to the left of you. I like the phrase my heart is slightly to the left my wallet is firmly in my right pocket.

    The best one I've seen is from urban dictionary. Wokeism....today's hottest religion. Joining it allows simple-minded people to pride themselves on believing they are more enlightened than, more compassionate than, and morally superior to, most of their fellow human beings.

    I think that's a completely honest assessment of how a conservative views wokeism. It just reeks of shame and insecurity. Thanks for sharing!

    Today in Wokeism: Cracker Barrel provides an Impossible Meat plant-based sausage. Apparently, providing customers with that option is woke.

    You can put cow manure in a wrapper and sell it to some people.. As long as you include "sustainably sourced", "fair trade", and "farm to market" on the label.. Whether that is woke or not is up for discussion.

    It's not the food, it's the wrapper that is woke questionable. If you buy Avocado's (mostly from mexico), do you really think because the label says 'sustainably sourced', they are any different than other Avocado's?

    How is labeling something as "sustainably sourced" "woke questionable," specifically? Again, it seems like the label is used as a garden variety "I don't like this newish thing" for people on the right.
