Woke Fordian
A person who believes that any ideological view is acceptable as long as it does not differ from their own.
It is derived from Henry Ford's quote "any customer can have a car painted any colour he wants, as long as its black".
Woke Fordian's exist at all points on the political spectrum and are typically inflexible to views that do not align with their own. In the extreme, this can lead to all sorts of malicious action being inflicted by people who hold different ideological views than the person they are targeting.
