    Dungan’s behavior is a perfect illustration of the “anti-woke” tap dance. The person alleging nefarious wokeness never admits to their own bigotry, instead pretending that they’re reacting to “woke” people who are “pushing” an agenda, in this case through innocuous poster art.

    That is a very good take.

    Also: it’s always projection. Conservatives push an agenda, so they assume everyone else does too.

      I really want people to start considering “woke” a slur. Its basically just a word the far right uses for people they don’t like, aka minorities.
