I’ve heard this phrase used often by those on the right but every time I hear it I can’t help but laugh because of what I picture in my head. But perhaps my image is wrong! I want to read everyone else’s depictions.

So as to not influence the responses I will not be sharing what I imagine a “woke mob” looks like.

They would all ask everyone for their pronouns regardless of how evident their gender seems to be.

So I know it is just semantics, but for some reason I don’t label your description as a “woke mob” but rather just decent humans.

Yet, I do have an image of “woke mob” that is full of college-aged people who haven’t experienced any adversity, but have a desire to make a mark on the world and have chosen a really irritating way to do it. And unfortunately that very small segment of the population gives the right something to latch onto that demonstrates how unhinged the left is (even though the left is how you describe it).

Wow, it’s been years since I’ve seen this photo. Wasn’t the context that this dude just flashed people at an anti rape rally or something?

Yeah, that adds up. It’s hard to find a “woke mob” that uniformly angry at someone who doesn’t deserve it. Anyone normal will get vague undirected hostility, at worst.
