1. Conservatives really cannot define the word "woke" beyond "bad." They keep getting opportunities to do so, and they keep bungling it. It's comical at this point.

The Hollywood in Toto website (um, who?) leads off with Bethany Mandel, the woman who wrote the anti-woke book but fell apart when asked exactly what it was she opposed. Plot Twist: No, she didn't! Toto calls the inescapable footage of her humiliating self-own a "false meme."


2. The Hollywood in Toto website can't even get basic facts correct. They write:
"Remember how Morgan Wallen saw his career collapse after using the N-word once, in private, and not against a person of color?"

Collapsed, did it? Wallen's career has surged since using the N-word. He literally has the #1 selling album in America RIGHT NOW, THIS MINUTE. His previous album from two years ago has plunged to #6. Wallen just had his first #1 single this year. His 2023 tour is completely sold out. It's so sad to see a promising career flame out like this.


Conservatives have this sick emotional need for martyrdom. The example of Morgan Wallen's cruel career destruction could not be more wrong, and yet agonizing over his "woke cancellation" feels so, so right.
