I was banned from News for acting too Republican, and now I am not given the option to block the community. It’s like 90% Trump posts, and I just want to talk about cats or something without hearing about my annoying president.

    Let me reframe my comment. Tell me if you still think it’s trolling. Assume I’m responding to:

    “Those woke people are getting what they deserve at the gas pump. They voted for Sleepy Joe Biden, they get what they deserve.”

    …I’ve never met a “Woke” person in real life. I know a bunch of Democrats, but not the stereotype obsessed over on social media. It’s reminiscent of the McCarthy era and communism. Everyone talked about communists all day, every day, but they were sooo good at blending in that nobody saw them.

    What does “Woke” even refer to? People who think the benefits of diversity outweigh the negatives? People who are annoyed with the people online ranting about the right to life and abortion? If this were the case, then a lot of the Republicans i know are apparently “Woke”.

    …if you no longer think I’m trolling, then you just don’t agree with my original opinion.

    I haven’t met many people that conform to the MAGA stereotype. It seems to mostly be used as a slur to dehumanize Republicans. I’m a centrist; I’d have made a similar argument if the majority was dehumanizing Democrats.
