    Why do republicans insist on waking up from sleep every morning?

    Waking up is super woke.

    Real TRUE PATRIOTS go to sleep once, and stay that way forever, to own the libz.

    When words like “woke” “DEI” or any of the other ones adjacent to them are use to express displeasure of any kind I immediately lose interest in what they have to say.

    Muchlike i do with people that blame [insert thing they don’t like] on [insert political ideology they don’t agree with] instead of coming up with, you know, facts and reasoning or something.

      That’s how Pete’s 2016 campaign presented it phonetically when people were still unsure how to pronounce his name. Not much of an insult but nobody has ever accused this administration of being clever.

    Bike lanes are weak and unmanly because they don’t contribute to our demise as a species.

    “Everything I don’t like I’ll label Woke, DEI, Communist, Socialist, Antifa or Liberal. They are too dumb to know they are being played”

    Any time you see a politician ranting about DEI, replace it in your mind with the n-word. That’s what they’re really saying. No, it doesn’t matter that people of any race can use it; Republicans have spent the past 6 decades cementing the idea of public projects and vilified racial minorities being inherently linked.

      N-word bike lane doesn’t make any sense unless there’s a separate Whites bike lane…and as much as these fucks would love to bring back Jim Crow and segregation, I really don’t see them putting in a bike lane just for the whites, let alone one for the blacks.

      They’ll put in a special lane for rollin’ coal on the interstate before they do that.

        That’s what the entire second half of my comment was about. Public transit isn’t segregated by law either, but the unashamed racists will tell you they don’t take it because it’s for black people. Atlanta’s metro service, MARTA, has been pejoratively called ‘moving Africans rapidly through Atlanta’ since before a lot of people on here were born. They incite racial hatred and then rhetorically link social programs and racial minorities to make racists more okay with having programs that benefit them cut. This is why food stamps went from one of the most supported to one of the most vilified, politicized welfare programs.

        Yeah but like, what’s the joke supposed to be? It is embarrassingly childish, but usually the name calling actually makes sense at least.

        “Boot edge edge” is just nonsense. Like cool, you thought of similar sounding words.

        Like preschool level shit.

      It’s what some McKinsey guy, who will sadly be president some day, thought (so profoundly prematurely and presumptuously) that we stupid rubes could use, and more importantly, would actually give a shit to use, suddenly, to talk about this McKinsey guy that we all love.

      Because, you know, all we know are words like boot and edge. We have never even heard if IPA or a dictionary or anything more than one-syllable words.

      You just know this douchebag workshopped the shit out of his own name’s ‘idiot-proof’ pronunciation for like, 400 hours per year of his like 70,000 hrs + overtime + over-overtime per year at McManageTheWorld Inc (And also totally ruin it, see the book When McKinsey Comes to Town)

        Yeah McKinsey is shit.

        But wtf is this shit. Are you ok, dude? You think he workshopped his last name? And what he decided on was “Buttigieg”? What?

          No, i was joking, poorly I admit, that he workshopped the pronunciation, so boot-edge-edge, not Buttigieg, was what was ‘workshopped’ and “what he decided on”, to answer your question…

          because these are the world’s most cynical people at McKinsey, who workshop everything and make the whole world ‘plastic’ and fake and “optimized” and “streamlined” and so on.

          It’s just, who does that? It reeks of a politician being “annointed” overnight rather than emerging on the stage naturally, where word of mouth would easily make it a non issue. If you have to tell everyone, again and again, how to pronounce your name, maybe you just don’t have the juice or whatever.

          I don’t think, Idk, Kucinich, for example, went all over telling everyone constantly “it’s Coo-sin-itch!” It’s coo-sin-itch!”

          Or Mike Krzyzewski, “hey my name is pronounced shi-zeff-ski! Shi-zeff-ski!”

          Buttigieg is probably just used to like, showing up one day at supermarket chain HQs or whatever with his “deck” of slides, meeting people for the first time ever right before recommending cutting 40% of all jobs there, and listing all his Ivy League credentials and how to pronounce his name on the previous slide. Nobody knew how to pronounce his name because yes it’s unusual but also because he’s parachuted in and immediately automatically “matters”

          Yes, I have a big problem with this guy. 😅

    Every time you see the term “DEI” or “woke” or whatever, just imagine it’s some loser fucking dude from the mid 2000s in a sweat stained Tapout t-shirt and substitute the terms with “gay and retarded” and it’ll make just as much sense, if not more. That’s ultimately the essence of those terms anyways. The only difference is that with the term “DEI” they get to posture as a serious person with an actual point that deserves to be taken seriously. Bike lanes are gay. Caring about the environment is gay. Anti-hazing policy in the military is retarded. Etc. Etc.

      If you happen to run into anyone in your social circles who choose to use those term. Ask them to actually define them, yet to meet a single one who can.
