I think the Left on college campuses (led by whom?) came up with it to describe themselves as being open to all “progressive” philosophies (women’s reproductive rights, LGBTQ community, reparations for slavery, open borders, you name it) and proudly proclaimed themselves “woke” and therefore occupying the moral high ground. Righties opposed to all that the Lefties embraced then began using it as a pejorative against the Lefties who had originated it themselves.<br /><br />If I am completely mistaken, I hope someone will correct me.rhymeswithplaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10870439618129001633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-2425070972580090102021-02-20T01:10:07.164+00:002021-02-20T01:10:07.164+00:00Taekwondo is the Won Ton which I love to eat on Sa...Taekwondo is the Won Ton which I love to eat on Saturday nights with a small glass of German lager and Dusty Springfield beside me.<br />Strange thing is, I can't sign in as Hameldaeme any more, so I set up a new nom de plume.
