After Bashing ‘Woke’ Americans, Steve Bannon Hails A Trump-Backing ‘Army Of The Awakened’ – By Mary Papenfuss (Huffpost) / June 24, 2022
Wake up, Steve! If they’re “awakened,” they’re “woke.”
Donald Trump’s onetime White House strategist Steve Bannon has sleepwalked into a twisted mess of “woke” and “awakened” analogies that has critics howling with laughter.
Earlier this week, Bannon touted the extremist “army of the awakened” that is supporting the former president and his right-wing ilk.
That startling praise followed years of Bannon pummeling the “woke” — meaning, in extremist speak, those who are sensitive to other people’s needs and rights. As anyone who follows the English language is aware, “awakened” means the same thing as “woke.”
This “army,” according to Bannon, is going to sweep through elections, he first noted earlier this month.
