Actor Tim Allen thought he’d go on Twitter and complain about people who are “woke,” whom he decided to call “wokees.” But based on the responses he got after he posted his tweet, he probably wishes he’d kept his bullshit to himself.
Best known for the TV series “Home Improvement” and “Santa Clause” films, Allen had to this to say about being woke:
It probably shouldn’t surprise anyone that Allen would take such a stance. After all, he attended failed, one-term, twice-impeached former president Donald Trump’s inauguration in 2017 and has said, “Once I realized that the last president pissed people off, I kind of liked that.”
Oh, and Allen thinks that conservatives like him are labeled “dangerous” in Hollywood:
“There’s nothing more dangerous to me, especially in this climate, than a funny, likable conservative.”
He also attempted to compare himself to the late comedian Lenny Bruce in 2018.
“I’ve been a comedian for 38 years and I’ve never seen it, like Lenny Bruce said at the Purple Onion, ‘We’ve gone backwards.’ There are things you can’t say. There are things you shouldn’t say. Who makes up these rules? And as a stand-up comic, it’s a dangerous position to be in because I like pushing buttons. It’s unfortunate.”
Of course, what Allen neglected to mention is that Lenny Bruce didn’t have to grunt like a pig just to get laughs. Because Bruce was actually talking about issues, not whining about “wokees.”
Fortunately, the internet wasn’t shy about letting Allen know exactly what a douchebag he sounded like with his infantile whining.
