Tim Allen tweeted what seemed to be a reasonably innocuous comment poking fun at the ‘woke’, and the woke responded by illustrating why people make fun of the woke.
Who is the face of woke. Do wokees have a club house in someone’s backyard or maybe a cute yet safe playpen somewhere?

It’s really not that harsh of a tweet, is it? Maybe some nice woke people will come along and help us understand what being woke means.
The whole "woke" thing is just about respect, Tim. It's about respecting other people enough not to make assumptions about them.
You're a smart guy, Tim. You'll figure it out.

That’s a very nice answer from PragmaticNYC. Being ‘woke’ is about respect. So much respect that the woke don’t make assumptions about other people. That’s super cool.
We’ll go with that definition and avoid making the assumption that the last part was a disrespectful wisecrack.
Let’s see just how respectful and tolerant the woke replies were.
Why are Republicans so resistant to being decent.

Oof. Seems like a pretty major assumption there about 10s of millions of people. He must be an outlier because woke people are respectful and tolerant.
I guess you were a better cocaine salesman than comedian.

Strike two. This isn’t going well for our working definition of ‘woke’.
To be fair, Tim Allen’s past could be worse. He could have sold stick figure drawings on eBay and passed them off as ‘art’.
It's just people who have empathy and compassion for other life.
You should try it on sometime.— Jason Talbott (@ElectricMayhem6) October 17, 2022
We’re calling that strike three on our original ‘woke’ definition. That last sentence assumes Tim Allen doesn’t have empathy or compassion.
Also, 60 million unborn babies would like to have a word about the ‘compassion for other life’ part.
Now that our definition has been shattered, we’re just gonna let the woke tell us who they are from here on out.
#GQPClownShow Well I sure Republicans would rather our country be unwoke then woke! You can’t steel a country’s democracy if they’re awake. 🤨 pic.twitter.com/FFWWQAuk5U

We think they’re trying to say the Democrats in the photo are woke.
Sadly you have broken my grown son’s heart

Shame on you— Schmoo’s Mimi (@MimiSchmoo) October 17, 2022
To insanity, and beyond!
You were a drug addict. You sold drugs to hurt people. You ratted someone out to reduce your prison sentence. You made millions off of people who didn’t know what a hate based AH you are. You’re not woke. You’re pro GOP fascism.

So little compassion. So little respect. So many assumptions. I think we’re starting to get a good picture of what ‘woke’ means.
The term “woke” is only used by lazy people who don’t want to a say out loud, “I’m against treating other humans like humans”.
Hope this helps.— Zingamomma-OfJason🎶☮️🌻🇺🇸🎶 (@tubawidow) October 17, 2022
We quit reading after the first few words. It was just too long.
Tim why don't you just go start your all-white, all-male network and leave decent people alone.
— Johnny Yuma (@YumaRebel) October 17, 2022
That’s a pretty big accusation there. It seems if you’re going to accuse Tim Allen of hanging out with Sheldon Whitehouse you should offer some proof.
You’re still a Trump supporter Timmy? Probably cost you your career.

This guy understands how tolerant the woke are.
Woke means EDUCATED, I see why the word woke terrifies you, so🙃
You've come a long way baby from being super high to an all-time low.

In the old days, the woke pretended to have compassion for people with troubled pasts.
Like I said, not even hiding the racism https://t.co/bK5wv5N4q2

Someone should make a knockoff of the ‘Where’s Waldo’ books called ‘Where’s Racism’. This one’s got us stumped.

After all that, the woke crowd couldn’t give a very good definition of woke.
At least we now know Ralph Northam is anti-woke.
