You Might be Woke If…

16121877
 

You might be woke if: you call a guy a bigot because he doesn’t want to date a “girl” who has a penis.

You might be woke if: you think people are racists because of the color of their skin.

You might be woke if: you think transvestites should host children’s reading events but it’s “cultural appropriation” for a woman to wear hoop earrings.

You might be woke if: you believe the anti-fascists are the mobs of masked weapon-wielding thugs who beat up peaceful protestors because they don’t like what they’re saying.

You might be woke if: your preferred pronouns don’t start with the letters “h” or “s”.

You might be woke if: you have no problem with hundreds of violent progressive riots but think democracy almost ended when some conservatives decided to have one of their own.

You might be woke if: you think boys can have babies.

You might be woke if: you think the prefix “cis” isn’t redundant.

You might be woke if: you think that burning and rioting and looting is “peaceful protest,” but you need time with a coloring book and a therapy pet when your candidate loses an election.

You might be woke if: you’re just sure socialism can work but have never heard of the Gulag Archipelago.

You might be woke if: you’re convinced that ours is a racist country but have no knowledge at all of the demographics of violence in the United States.

You might be woke if: you’re convinced that capitalism is evil but you’ve never held a job and are attending a college that costs more than $60,000 per year.

    You know, I really don’t care for the guy. He’s too juvenile for me. But I’m happy to borrow his trope.

    It works.

    But you can’t mix the tropes unfortunately.  You might be woke if you have a transmission in your bathtub just doesn’t cut it.

    But a trans-something else might work.
