1. A form of moral panic provoked by fear of the rise, supposed or real, of left-wing ideologies in a society during the early 21-st century.
Similar to the Red Scare or McCarthyism (aka Second Red Scare) before it, Woke Worry seeks political repression and persecution of left-wing individuals and concepts by invoking fear and condemnation of all things deemed to be “woke”.
2. A sarcastic term to describe current right-wing political discourse around “woke ideology” and their fear of all things woke. Similar to the Red Scare or Satanic Panic of earlier generations.

My grandma told me about living through the Red Scare and McCarthyism. My mother told me about living through the Satanic Panic of the 1980’s and 90’s. I’ll tell my children and grand children about the “Woke Worry” happening today.

Get the Wokemug. Who knows what it means. Apparently some people call themselves woke as a sign of intelligence, others say it as an insult towards those they consider smug.

Get the Wokemug. A state of awareness only achieved by those dumb enough to find injustice in everything except their own behavior.

Get the woke ‘n’ tokemug. A term used for a compelling ideology that suggests that the institutions of society are designed by the powerful to preserve discrimination, and all group disparities are the result of said discrimination. Therefore, society's evils and disparities can universally be explained by the malice of others.
One of the main goals of wokeness and the woke movement is for group equity to be achieved through policy changes and redistributionism.
