        Exactly! “Why are you making everything about politics?”

        I’m a gay person in a red state with first-gen immigrants and trans people in my family. I don’t have the luxury not to “make everything political.” The fact that I exist is political to these people!

      I do use woke unironically, but in a prideful way. Eg, Brooklyn 99; “He means he was arrested for being black! Get woke, Scully!!”

        Fair enough! I always thought that “woke” should be a good thing.

        Same with SJW – it’s actually a positive thing to fight for social justice! Like, thanks for the compliment, I guess…
