Woke
"Woke" originated in African American English and defined awareness of and attentiveness to social and racial injustices. To be "woke" politically in the Black community means that someone is informed, educated and conscious of social injustice and racial inequality.
RIght-wingers who are angry that they suffer repercussions for using pejoratives to attack minorities, women, and people of non-trad genders use it as a cudgel to denigrate people who fight for social and racial justice. In its misuse, it is a form of hate speech.
It is a favorite term of Trump and his party. In the example, he erroneously equates diversity programs with unfair advantages for minorities.

“Our country will be woke no longer,” Trump said. “We believe that whether you are a doctor, an accountant, a lawyer, or an air traffic controller, you should be hired and promoted based on skill and competence, not race or gender.”

Get the neo-wokemug. The belief that all forms of pop culture have always been "woke" while they are also simultaneously in need of being "updated for modern audiences".
Person 1: Dude, everything is always been woke! But we also need to change them so that nobody today gets offended.
Person 2: Sounds like Schrödinger's Wokeness: everything always was - and never was - woke. smh...
