My racist/sexist/generally terrible uncle calls me liberal, brainwashed and woke, not open minded.

Pretty much. My whole family was fairly left leaning once upon a time. However they have since fallen for the mass trump indoctrination.

My mother who was once an elementary school teacher to some of the most under privileged children in tulsa, who lived for her job and only wanted a better future for her Hispanic and black students now wants those very children to be deported if illigeal cause she took the trump pill.

My father who used to employ only Mexicans for his somewhat successful construction company, wants that cheap labor deported as they are " taking US citizens jobs" like what?

The craziest part is my family is half Mexican, my grandma came from Mexico to the us in the 50s in search for a better life for her children. So my dad is half Mexican. Talk about some irony.

My Mexican nana would be sad to see whom her children are blindly following

Sorry for tge rant but sheesh, its gonna be a rough day

"Woke". They say woke to somehow try to make inclusion sound like a bad thing.

Yeah, kinda. My racist aunt was like: "yeah, so I've had some issues with my daughter. She's woke, you know, so she gets angry at everything I say. I can't say anything anymore. I don't mind her not coming over. No respect for the parents and elderly these days, their generation is totally fucked up. Must be puberty or something." (*my cousin is 32)

Well of course they don’t say that. They have negative sounding terms like the old “bleeding heart liberal,” because as every good conservative knows it is weakness and foolishness to give a shit about other people.

I guess today they would just go for woke. It’s short and meaningless, but it started out being used by minorities so again every good conservative knows it’s a bad thing and a killer insult.

Man, I'm not seeing any of those motherfuckers. They don't warrant the time of day, let alone getting to disturb my peace. I'm just gonna make some good food and hang out with my mom and the dog and have a nice day.

Yes, except they pronounce it "libtard" and "woke"(with the usual inflection of distain of course).

The traditional way this was phrased was "bleeding heart liberal". The implication being that they were so giving as to be gullible and not realistic.

Nowadays the preferred insults are "commie" or "woke". I don't hear it directed at me much, due to particular family circumstances that forced them to accept my gay-married trans ass, but boy do I hear it about Democrats every year.

(I know that Dems aren't commie or even 'woke' most of the time, but to them it is a distinction without a difference. To them, those terms refer to anyone who thinks that people don't deserve to die for the 'crime' of being homeless.)

Yes. They say "so much for the tolerant left" without any shred of self awareness.

Of course not. They live for the outrage and offense they cause. It's like a validation for them that they're on the right track. Like finding enemies in a video game, it indicates that it's the path to follow. They don't realize they're the villain though.

Yes.

Or like my parents, before I stopped attending altogether, “Our ‘lost’ son is going to be there, we need to pray for his soul.”

No they think “Oh goody! I get to start a fight and feed off my own rage and self righteousness and own the libs at the same time! And there will be pie!”

Yes, just with very different adjectives

Probably the woke person doesn’t bother going, they’ve written that family off.

I'm pretty closed minded about how racism is dog shit.

No, he looks forward to using me as a target for their collective derision.

One time as a kid I took a southern Baptist church trip to Central America. When I got back my racist uncle said "y'all look like a bunch of foreigners." Mind you that at the time I was blond enough to be a Hitler Youth poster boy, but heaven forbid my skin was brown from being in the sun. 🙄

This tweet is so old you can't even blame them for not hearing of "woke" used as an insult yet.

Pretty sure that's not how they describe you.
