Why is every shot of him up the nose? It’s as if the photographer is looking for a brain that isn’t there.

Probably because his face is very round and they don't see that as masculine enough.

Plus, can fit two cocks right in there. Free real estate. Look at all that space. Practically begging for it. When he says to get his good side, this is the result. This is peak anti-gay. So gay that your variable overflows and now your negative gay.

Basically, this dude probably sucks a lot of cocks. Just saying.

“Anti-woke”

Oxford English Dictionary for woke:

Originally: well-informed, up-to-date. Now chiefly: alert to racial or social discrimination and injustice;

Then I tried to look up the definition for “progressive” in the OED

In any case, Google gave me:

(of a group, person, or idea) favoring or implementing social reform or new, liberal ideas

Followed by the antonym, regressive

becoming less advanced; returning to a former or less developed state

So, to make sure we’re all on the same page here, “anti-woke” means returning to a less developed state. And while that should be obvious to those who realize the right wants female homemakers, policies to end any LGBTQ+ rights, and a country with defined classism and racism, to many it’s just a tribalist sign post everyone supporting them wants to write their name on.

Yes. But Repubs don't think about what they are reading or writing. The propaganda gets them to attach that word with any other concept of the brainwashers' choice.

If you do a word association game with Repubs and toss out "woke" they will immediately say "mob." Some of them cannot even write or say "woke" alone without adding "mob," it is so ingrained.

You (correctly) imagine "woke" to be regarding awareness about discrimination and (likely) working to stop injustice. Repubs imagine "woke mob BLM Antifa invaders razing cities." Well, "raze," is probably above their reading comprehension level, but you get the idea.
