1 aware of and actively attentive to
important facts and issues (especially issues of racial and
social justice)
2 A term adopted by the far right, fox news, and other cult-like groups from the, generally, better education subset of the U.S. population that considers race and
social justice important in order to live in a functioning society.
After initially adopting the term, FoxNews and other anti-american outlets, required an 'undefining' stage. There was also the process of training the right wing to associate the term with disdain. These two steps took place in tandem.
Having the meaning adequately obfuscated and the base on the right successfully programmed the media is now free to use the term however, whenever and a) it's viewer respond initially with excessive salivating but that only lasts a few minutes with the preprogrammed level of outrage.
Lastly, having trained the far-right 'people' successfully, they also able to declare anything as woke which while at the same time signal their base that they are still racists ie. saying they need to eliminate woke in
this country, they are actually talking about eliminating minorities esp Black.
Tucker Carlson thought he had a great idea:
" What if I change the meaning of
the word Woke in such a way that will enable me to
arbitrarily attack insert this week's noun but at the same time, keep saying 'I hate the blacks'. "
