... always fall back on words that they think are pejorative, even though they're too stupid to actually learn the definition of words like "WOKE".

For the enlightenment of Oberkommando der Wehrmacht Hegseth, permit me to present, yet again, Merriam Webster's definition of woke:
[To be] aware of, and actively attentive to, important facts and issues, especially of racial and social injustice.

Someone who is against that benign sentiment has NO right to be the Secretary of Defense (FUCK this Secretary of War bullshit!)

Every time I think my hatred of these lowlife thugs can't get any more intense, they find a way to crank it up beyond already hotter than the surface of the Sun.
