Thais semantics comment is trivial enough to be a dog whistle. "The event" was clearly the mass adoption of the term "woke" by the Republicans in its current context. The fact that they can't explain what it is without sounding bigoted is why they can't tell you what it means.

And in case you don't know, they all get their marching orders and taking points directly from the RNC. Complete with handouts. Why do you think they all say the same thing at the same time? Same with Fox News, which if you're not aware, has been the Republican propaganda arm since inception.

Now did you have a good faith argument you wanted to make or are you just going to double down?

Wow brother/sister. Not sure you know what a dog whistle is. I'm keen to all that and mock the wokeness bullshit all the time. But it’s been a thing for a while now, so I was just trying to see if I missed a specific inciting incident where it became a thing.

I can kind of understand why you’d be touchy about racist trolls, but maybe chill out a bit till you get more evidence of it?
