Turns out BIDEN ain't *WOKE* for wingnuts & media - it's *THEM*!

This is about wingnuts, so am using the Wingnut definition/interpretation of "woke", which seemed to be something like "namby-pamby".

All these recent years one of their main beefs against Left has been how "woke" we are, their replacing "politically correct" with Woke as a hate word.

So they spent these past 7 months floundering around in their attempting to pin *something*/anything on BIDEN, their frustration being that he was low key and not contentious enough for them to engage against.

So then they got what they immediately tagged as "the Saigon Moment."

And not only the predictable Wingnuts, but the supposedly "Lib" media reporters have been going to town about how all the Saigon scenes are tatooed on BIDEN'S face.

All the "reporting" being chock full of anecdotal vignettes - ignoring the mounting evacuation .

****** Never mind the mounting number of statements from Afghanistan veterans (American) saying there was never going to be any other end game, or that the whole culture was built on ancient patronage and the cash crop and that our presence there was the only thing holding the colony together.

Or a cosmopolitan. internationally and war savvy commentator saying that this is not a society party with RSVPs about whether or how to Exit. Like when one of our Desert Storm general dudes told the media that war is not a video game.

****** So look who's WOKE now.
