The 'Woke' con

Well, words mean things.

Not to you all.

Well, words mean things.

Exactly. And liberals spend half their time pretending they don't. Socialism? Nothing to see here. It's all an illusion.

Rightwing morons still think calling someone a commie is an awesome burn.

Hey wingnut - I don't have secret bank accounts in Communist China, Trump does.

First of all, you're wrong. I posted the definition at the beginning of this thread.

Well, words mean things.

Like make and female?
