        Really? Ah I had no idea this is actually something they have done before. It’s always a gamble not putting an /s but I thought this one was so idiotic and far fetched that there’s no way it could be taken as serious. But you’re telling me there’s a good reason it could be taken seriously. Fucking Jesus. These Christian’s need him bad

        Why do republicans hate people who come out of comas?

        The joke as far as I can tell is a based on the idea that republicans hate minorities. The joke suggests that republicans hate people who come out of comas more because they are a minority than for any rational reason. My comment was making and irrational statement about coma people and likening it to the irrational logic of why republicans hate other minorities like the gays. The irrationality being that god doesn’t like them that’s why I don’t like them.

          You’re thinking about it too much.

          The joke refers to the Republican’s hate for progressives and their ideals (equality for all, women’s rights, basic human decency, etc), which they refer to with the umbrella term “woke”.

          So the joke is, they hate “woke” people, both in the political and literal sense of someone waking from a coma.

            Yeh I know, I thought I’d make another joke about the coma people being a minority. Yes it did diverge from the original joke and it obviously didn’t go down too well, tough crowd. Plus as someone else pointed out apparently republicans actually don’t like coma people for real so the joke became even more awkward. I’m just going to keep my mouth shut and my head down from now on. I’ll dim the light and stand in the corner so I’m out of the way. Thanks for your feedback. I appreciate your time
