  1. Yes, we are unconscious when we sleep and don't even remember all of our dreams. But have you ever experienced something close to sleeping and not remembered it? Like Switched off your alarm, removed an item of clothing, thrown off the bedcovers, etc., and then gone back to sleep and not remembered it?
  2. https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/61876/11-words-meanings-have-changed-drastically-over-time You can also search for "words that have changed meaning over time" and see many results.
  3. If you view all of the links, you will see that the word is used by non-MAGA types who are not trolling. That is my point.
  4. I didn't say anything about trolls using the word. I'm talking about regular people using it in a legitimate way. Absurd. Of course words can change meaning through use over time.
  5. Ah, I realise what I have done. I misunderstood this slightly unclear sentence: "Pretty sure what I was asking is an example of usage of "woke" by non maga people in a context other than complaining about the misuse and general insulting nature it is used." as there being a third group, that is "people who use it as an insult. (A mistake, not a trolling.) Apologies for that. But back to the original question. Non-MAGA people do use "woke" in the newer negative meaning. I have explained here how it is now used and posted several links to support it. The word is used by very much non-MAGA types to critique those that fall under the new meaning.
  6. So you're just going to ignore all the incorrect things you have said? You choose your bathroom based on your sexuality? Seriously? You're completely wrong, based on your quoted definition of sexuality, but you're just going to ignore that? How do you expect to have any sort of meaningful discussion with someone if you ignore what they say, pretend you haven't made many mistakes and slander them? I have stayed perfectly on the point I originally raised with you and have been more specific, not vague. Your comment, sadly, suggests trolling.
  7. Whoa now! You can't just go changing the meaning of a word just like that! ????
  8. No. You switched from only "MAGA" types using it to it being "MAGA" plus people who use the word as an insult. I think you've pretty much shown your hand.
  9. Ah, you seem to be expanding your claim a little based on what I have said. Based on what you originally said, yes, that is what I was talking about.
  10. You haven't been following the thread? You've replied to me multiple times and this is the point I am discussing. I gave a detailed explanation and posted evidence. I'm not sure how you could miss it.
  11. Now you're trying to pretend I'm a troll?!! I've patiently and reasonably explained my point and I've provided evidence to support it. This stinks of an ad-hom. Possibly hoping to get my comments considered to be trolling and removed. Very sad to see.
  12. No. They (non-"MAGA" people) call other things "woke" as a criticism.
  13. No. People change the meanings of words. Then dictionaries can add those meanings. You're very far off the mark on this one.
  14. Probably scared the cops would find some way to blame him and try to exhort money from him.
  15. You could simply be intellectually honest. "MAGA" people are not the only people that use the new meaning of "woke". But you appear to not want to acknowledge that, likely because you then lose the power of being able to discredit them through labelling them as "MAGA".
  16. Why? Dictionaries don't have a monopoly on word meanings. Where do you think they get their words from in the first place? That's right, from people.
  17. Oh yes, I remember now. Once you have exhausted all other avenues of denial and are proven wrong, out come the accusations. ????
  18. What on Earth makes you think that it is only used by "MAGA people"? This simply isn't true. Words can change meanings.
  19. ""Woke" as used by MAGA", what does that even mean? What about when non-"MAGA" people use it? Is it still meaningless?
  20. This simply isn't true. It isn't only used that way by conservatives. It is used by various people, as I have experienced and shown. You are denying the facts because you don't like them.
  21. I'm not lying about anything. I gave a factual explanation about how a word is used. I then provided evidence of its use in the way I explained. You don't like that, so you're trying to deny it. ????‍♂️
