    Storytime. I used to be an avid listener of the roe jogan podcast before roe did a complete 180° and lost his fucking mind. It literally used to be pretty liberal. It seemed to go off the rails right around the first time he had alex jones on. Started making excuses for jones’ lies and calling jones a friend. First time I heard the word woke was on the podcast. They used it quite frequently to describe people who did psychedelics, were educated, and open minded. It was always used as a positive word. Im not sure at what point it was turned into a perjorative but one thing I am sure of…havent listened to a word from roe jogan for the better part of a decade.

      Let’s not forget that these same people kept telling us to and I quote: “WAKE UP SHEEPLE” And now they get all pissed off that people woke up.

      Also what is the opposite of woke? Sleep? Go to sleep? Sounds dystopian as fuck.

        Not to mention the QAnon shit with “the great awakening” where “the deep state” finally gets exposed and locked up. These people are morons.
