Dictionary.com Expertly Trolls GOP Rep. After His Bonkers 'Woke Sky' Tweet Goes Viral

Representative Clay Higgins, a Louisiana Republican, appeared to combine multiple half-baked grievances about millennials and "wokeness" into a single tweet when he, referring to fears that Russian President Vladimir Putin's recent invasion of Ukraine had inflamed global nuclear hostilities, appeared to brag about knowing what it was like to live in fear of a nuclear threat.

Higgins, 60, came of age when Cold War tensions were arguably at their height and was 30 years old in 1991, the year the Soviet Union collapsed. But his scorn for millennials, who, he says, have spent their entire lives living under a "woke sky," left many scratching their heads.


Higgins even went so far as to nonsensically complain about non-binary people when he accused millennials of making "quite a non-binary fuss to save the world from intercontinental ballistic tweets."

His tweet left many flabbergasted but perhaps no one as much as the official Twitter account for Dictionary.com, which acknowledged that it could not make heads nor tails of Higgins' tweet even though "we’re literally the dictionary.”

Many found the response, which quickly went viral, hilarious.




Others merely expressed further confoundment over Higgins' tweet


The response to the absurdity of Higgins' tweet is considerably more lighthearted than the response he's received for other social media controversies.

Higgins, who has never confirmed his vaccination status, has been criticized since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States for pushing back against vaccine and mask mandates, once writing that he does not support what public health experts have called common sense safety measures.

Higgins has also advocated for violence against Black Lives Matter (BLM) demonstrators, and at one point had posts deleted per Facebook's content policy after he suggested that armed demonstrators should be met with force to "eliminate the threat," later asserting that the United States is "being manipulated into a new era of government control."

'Based On A True Story' Movies That Aren't True At All

The entertainment industry has long been criticized for their creative license when it comes to retelling history or anything "based on a true story."

Going back to the silent film era and D.W. Griffith's ridiculously inaccurate White supremacist propaganda Birth Of A Nation to Mel Gibson's Braveheart to Disney's Pocahontas, some films go way beyond creative license and careen into total malarkey.

Musk's AI Chatbot Throws Republicans Under The Bus After Being Asked About Economy

Grok, billionaire Elon Musk's very own chatbot, threw Republicans under the bus after software engineer Alex Coke asked it if Democrats or Republicans have been better for the economy in the past 30 years, only for it to answer that yes, in fact, Democrats are the winners when it comes to economic policy.

Economic policy is certainly on everyone's minds these days. A new CNN poll conducted by SSRS shows that Americans are not pleased with President Donald Trump’s management of the economy, leaving him with unfavorable ratings on what is considered the nation’s most important issue.

CNN Airs Brutal Reminder Of Trump's Previous Economic Predictions—And They Did Not Age Well

CNN came with the receipts, airing a supercut of clips from 2020 and 2024 of President Donald Trump making hilariously wrong economic predictions—a damning reel of evidence as financial markets decline and investor concerns grow over Trump’s trade policies.

In fact, Trump’s escalating trade war pushed the S&P 500 more than 10% below its record high set just last month. A drop of this size is significant enough that professional investors call it a “correction,” and the S&P 500’s 1.4% decline on Thursday marked its first since 2023.
