You need to come back to earth some. The farther out you go, the less air there is.

It's interesting to see cultist terms like 'woke' and 'deep state' increasingly included in a person's posts.

....and sorry to highjack the Chevron thread, but I just noticed a disclaimer on the Merriam-Webster website as I searched 'woke.'

"These examples are programmatically compiled from various online sources to illustrate current usage of the word 'cultist.' Any opinions expressed in the examples do not represent those of Merriam-Webster or its editors. Send us feedback about these examples."

No longer does a dictionary search give the traditional meaning of a word based on its etymology, so woke is no longer defined as the opposite of asleep. The first entry reflects the most common usage as determined by an algorithm? Kinda Orwellian.

"chiefly US slang
1a : aware of and actively attentive to important societal facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice).
