Für Republikaner wurden die mit der demokratischen Partei verbundenen Gegenstände – unabhängig von rassistischen oder geschlechtsspezifischen Inhalten – eher als „aufgewacht“ angesehen. Die Republikaner assoziierten auch weiblichen Politiker-wie Nancy Pelosi und Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez-mit Wokess, ohne dasselbe auf Männer wie Joe Biden auszudehnen.

    Americans broadly agree on what’s “woke,” but partisan cues still shape perceptions

    1. I’ve linked to the news release in the post above. In this comment, for those interested, here’s the link to the peer reviewed journal article:

      https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/20531680251335650

      From the linked article:

      A new study published in Research and Politics provides insight into how Americans conceptualize the term “woke.” While Democrats, Republicans, and Independents tend to agree on many of the attributes associated with being woke, the study found that partisanship shapes which issues, identities, and policies people associate with the label.

      When the researchers examined responses by political affiliation, they found that partisanship played a defining role in how participants judged what was woke. **For Republican respondents, items associated with the Democratic Party—regardless of their racial or gender content—were more likely to be seen as woke**. Democratic respondents, on the other hand, tended to associate wokeness more with items that represented progressivism on race and gender issues.

      Another layer of analysis revealed subtle but telling gender dynamics. **Republican respondents often associated women and female political figures—especially Nancy Pelosi and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez—with wokeness, while not extending the same judgment to male Democratic figures like Joe Biden**. Gender-oriented causes and groups were often more strongly linked to wokeness among Republican and Independent respondents than racial topics were. This suggests that opposition to gender progressivism may be a more potent trigger for anti-woke sentiment on the political right.

    2. I have yet to find a religion that is not misogynistic in some way. When you hook your wagon to the culture wars, to the crazy, to the domestic terrorist and religious extremism and completely abandon representative democracy, you end up with the GOP.

    3. “Woke” is anything that isn’t a white male.

      Let’s just be honest here, republicans are racist, misogynistic, homophobic, pedophiles.

      I like how republicans pretend to stand for tradition and „security“ when in reality they are just obsessed with making sure their identity group stays as high as possible on the social hierarchy.

    5. They stole “woke” from Black people, and now present it as if showing awareness towards societal racism and other prejudices is inherently bad. I no longer know what we’re doing as a species. It’s like we want to self implode, and not enough people care. If we do end up going extinct, maybe it’s for the best.

      „Woke“ has always been a term that has eluded me. What does it actually mean? If it means recognizing that something like skin color doesn’t matter, or recognizing that gender doesn’t define what jobs you can do, then I have a different name for it, it’s called being respectful to people. And guess what, it’s not a new thing, it’s been around for hundreds of years.

      What’s new is that the Republicans stopped doing this about 30 years ago.

      Republicans don’t know what woke means. More importantly, they don’t even know what they mean when they say it. It’s basically “thing I don’t like”.

      They are right about a woke mind virus. But it doesn’t affect who they think it does.

      „Woke“ is a word with no clear meaning. It should not be used as a meaningful term in research.

    10. „Everything i don’t like is woke.“ We’re trying to define a conservative dogwhistle is all it is.

    11. Republicans are racist, misogynist, bigoted, greedy nazis and for some reason they’re still in power here
