Anti-woke' caller tries to explain what the phrase means... It did not go well LBC

[rpannier]

This caller is painful to listen to
James O' Brien just destroys him by letting the caller hang himself (rhetorically)
It's all so civil as well

1. I try to catch a little bit of James O'brien's show every week. It's a master class in

how to deal with morons. If it's any "consolation" to my compatriots here. Right wingers in the UK are just as stupid.

2. Dinging RWers on logic and intelligence is pointless.

Their entire premise is anti “elite”. They live for unapologetically saying and doing dumb shit. It’s a fuck you to the liberal elite.

3. Willfully Ignorant is what today's MAGAts are...

4. Kick

5. actually sounds like the usual right-wing projection of thier own faults on others.

Because that's all they ever do when they come up with these labels.

6. Endless catch phrases without any specifics

The whole "anti-woke" crusade has set up traps for itself. It's all about the dog whistle and a complete avoidance of critical thinking. When inconveniently asked to provide substantive examples, the whole concept collapses onto itself. O'Brien handles this exchange brilliantly.

7. Read the ticker! WTF is that about?

This caught my eye.
US paratroopers? What?

9. Figures. He never could give a concrete example of "wokeness." nt

[gratuitous]

10. Everybody knows what we're talking about . . .

You can practically hear the rusty gears in the caller's broken brain clanking into service as he gropes for an example that doesn't make him sound like a raging bigot. He finally retreats to the refuge of "everybody knows," hoping that the host will supply an example.
