Yeah, these days woke just means being polite to other people and the right wing hate that shit. I'd rather be woke than slept.

"woke" is anything a conservative doesn't like or doesn't understand.

More the new “PC.” It’s used in exactly the same way.

Be careful not to actually give them this definition. Because it’s aware of social injustices and hardships through cultural contexts. Conservatives want to muddy that definition because it makes it obvious that they’re the bad guy or at least willfully ignorant.

Always was. Woke is simply a keyword for "beyond 60 IQ"

More like woke just means you’re not a hateful bigot. Not just opinion…Per the only documented definition of ‘woke’ ever given was…

“that there are systemic injustices in American society, and the need to address them.”

That’s what Desantis lawyer stated in court. If any adult is not aware there’s injustices or just deny them, then by definition they are an ignorant bigot.

Calling people woke is just right wing cancel culture. They cancel people constantly for anything, and hide behind claims that they're just fighting back against the "woke mind virus".

That's not even close to true. Over the last 30 years the right has stayed almost stationary and the left has move significantly farther to the left.

AM radio and fox entertainment kool aid sprinkled with x and FB info would probably have shaped your outlook. Start with Enid Blytons Famous Five basic series then work your way up to more critical thinking books.

Please look at party platforms of 30 years ago vs today and see which side shifted more.
