He was just an ordinary conservative, reading his Bible and his Ronald Reagan devotional, when the woke mob broke into his gated community. "Up against the wall!" Yelled the nonbinary crowd. From across the highway he heard screams. The Latinx Lesbians had struck.
Soon chants rose from all the buildings around him. "White guilt, white guilt," they screamed as copies of the 1619 Project were jammed into their ears.
A trumpet sounded, signifying the beginning of yet another MAGA hat bonfire.
Everything was dying. The Wokening was nigh.
Henry turned on his TV expecting to see Tucker Carlson, but the signal had been hijacked. Instead the Wokeristas were forcing every household to watch Maddow and Fauci discuss gender reassignment and climate science. All non-woke materials had been banished. Fox was a crater.
Linda couldn't believe it. It had been just 12 hours since Biden's handlers had him sign The Woke Protocols and already ever American flag had been replaced with the hammer and sickle. All Confederate statues were down, and replaced by RuPaul. "My country," she sobbed.
"Join me in the underground," Ted Cruz whispered, his hand outstretched, his ramshackle van packed with yellowing copies of printouts from Infowars. "Follow me to freedom."
The state-installed speakers blared "Its Raining Men," and Mildred's mind was made up for her.
"The Federalist Papers? This is contraband," the Woketrooper yelled, herding Chris into the carbon neutral van with the other capitalist thought criminals. The hypnotic audio of Economic Minister Bernie Sanders started up again.
"You will be woke," it began. "Always... woke."
"Weve rounded up 10,000 enemies of Wokeopolis, my liege," the Wokecommandant reported, giving a firm salute to the statue of Saul Alinsky that dominated the throne room of Woke Regional Commander AOC.
"Good, good. Give them the Green Death Deal as we did the others."
First Woke Kamala Harris looked right and up to Most Woke Emperor Biden atop the throne composed of Limbaugh's Bones.
"Sire, are they not woke enough?"
Biden flashed his pearly whites. "They're not even half woke yet," he replied. "Not even half woke."

For the last two years I’ve been mostly watching movies and tv shows I haven’t seen cause there’s SO MANY things I haven’t seen and it’s piling up. But I feel like I may bust soon and just rewatch Superman 1+2, Back to the Future, Lion King, Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park etc
It’s like I’ve been on a pop culture diet and now I’m about to binge ice cream and Doritos
Some of the things I had never seen that lived up to the hype: Gandhi, Goodfellas
This “American way” thing is so lame we already had an outrage cycle about it a few years ago when one of the movies came out. Never mind it hasn’t been a thing in the comics for eons.
This is so repetitive and tiresome I’m fucking bored with it (see dates)
Conservatives are regularly surprised that the icon created by two Jewish kids during the depression who has come to be a beacon to every type of person is not, in fact, a hacky right wing stooge.
Virginia has voted for two democratic governors in a row and has voted democrat in every presidential election since 2008 so let’s talk to Trump voters (10 months after Biden beat Trump there by 10)
“We went to Maryland, who has voted Democratic in every presidential election since 1988 and where Joe Biden crushed Trump by 33 and we spoke to… some Trump voters” - soon
I wouldn’t be so harsh about these stories if the press spent a lot of time talking to democrats in places like Utah or South Carolina, or even in states that flipped like Georgia and Arizona, but they don’t. (and they have ignored the flip in New Mexico and Nevada too)
The biggest growth sector in comics the last 20 yrs or so has been manga. Manga’s fan base is more diverse than DC/Marvel has been historically. It’s all about the Benjamins.
