Get the Wokedmug. 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'. "

Get the Woke on woke crimemug. How intellectually lazy "red pill swallowers" (ie Alt Right frog-people) justify their buying-in to manifestly whack conspiracy theories. Also used ironically to make a point about a slightly outré position or action, implying grudging approval or amusement. Occasionally used to describe a stance or action that is truly insightful.
Get woke, dude: the 'round earth theory' is a PR sham promoted by Globalist Lizard People; 'Round' equals 'Gobal', yo.
That picture of the $100 avocado toast on Twitter is so woke, man.
Systematically pointing a telescope to the sky and reporting what he saw —despite the Church's teachings— was straight-up woke of Galileo.

Get the wokemug. To be "woke" is to come into the realization of systematic social and political injustice that is still prevalent in today's society. And once this enlightenment is reached, this person should show this through their actions, i.e. protesting, political involvement, community engagement, ect.
Also meaning, that if you see someone being victimized through racism, sexism, or bigotry, you should take a stand IN THAT MOMENT and help to put an end to the confrontation. By asking the aggressor to leave and if that doesn't happen, and the victim is still being abused by this person. Then it's within your rights to protect the victim by putting the racist jerk on his / her ass.

Rodrick - I can't believe the shear number of police shootings of unarmed black men and woman over the past two years!
Dewight - Rodrick, it's unfortunate but, white people have been killing our black brothers and sisters from the moment they first came down from Northern Europe and realized that they were new comer to this world. (circa 740AD) From that point the so-called "white" people of this world (earth) have been faking it until they can make it. But "whites" don't realize that no one believes that B.S. of a show, G.O.T. on HBO and black people never bought that reality show, that they call the British Monarchy. Also Rodrick, if you know any Western Europeans tell them bitches they all still owe us rent money for that land she and her people still living on, and tell them we coming to collect.
And to the people saying that the term "Woke" is not grammatically correct and that we should be using "awake". You should know that regardless of that grammar error, You should know that regardless of that the consciousness is there and we are not going anywhere, If we see racist aggression you will be "CHECKED" and you'll wind up getting exposed for the fascist you are.
