An incoming Georgia state representative proudly claimed that being the first “openly nonbinary or trans person elected to a state legislature in the Deep South” is proof that “Woke 3.0 has now commenced.”

Nonbinary lawmaker-elect Bentley Hudgins, 33, also boasted about being “the first Japanese-American elected in Georgia” by winning a seat in the state House during last week’s so-called “blue tsunami.”

Hudgins’s brag led to online snark, with End Wokeness writing on X: “Good news, Georgia! You now have your 1st non-binary trans, Japanese elected official!”

Hudgins replied to that, as well as other online criticisms, by bragging that the win was a sign the US was entering a fresh stage of left-wing wokeness.

“Thank you for the shout out!” Hudgins fired back. “Woke 3.0 has now commenced. Cope.”

“Woke 3.0” refers to the new progressive political landscape after Democrats dominated Republicans in elections at every level across the country on Nov. 3 in what’s been viewed as a national rebuke of the current administration.

The 3.0 part is a nod to New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who went wildly viral for saying the left was in a new era because “Woke 1 was crazy.”

Controversial left-wing streamer Hasan Piker also bragged during an election-night livestream that he was “officially branding woke back” — telling viewers to put “gender pronouns back in your LinkedIn profiles immediately.”

Hudgins will represent Georgia’s 90th District in metro Atlanta after winning with more than 92% of the votes.
