dickti... discu... disjona... wordbook woke.

I know I should be getting the joke on this one but sadly I'm missing it.

They're mimicking someone who's trying to say the word dictionary but ironically lacks the diction to articulate it and instead says 'wordbook'

It is humorous because of the implication that extreme right wingers ala Fox news and it's viewers are illiterate hillbillies. They're not. They're just insane.

Yup that should have been obvious to me. Thank you

Basically the old Porky Pig cartoon character

Some, I assume, are good people.

Those ones are among the worst category. Needlessly deluded by bad actors acting badly, to the extent there's nothing we can do to change it.

They have to choose to notice they're being lied to.

You can still be an illiterate hillbilly AND be insane.
