First of all, due to the nature of the word, it can mean different things to different people. Even different conservatives. But it is rarely about things they "don't understand". Being a conservative, I hang around a lot of conservatives (on conservative forums"), and his description certainly does not reflect their usage of the word.

I've noticed that one thing that Rush Limbaugh was spot on in saying: "Words have meaning." And it is pretty obvious that the right is far more aware of the significance of that phrase than the left is. It's why phrases that are started with the left often get hijacked by the right. Like "woke" and "fake news". It's because for them to stick in their usage, they have to have a solid meaning. And in the case of "woke", the right usually uses the word sarcastically. i.e. those that consider themselves "woke" are usually anything but.

Wrong on every level.

Since I can't do a laughing emoji with a "like" button.

Oh and for the fake news part, happens everytime the Repub presidental ticket is moving thier lips.
