People use this word to describe left wingers, liberals, SJWs, members of the LGBTQ+ supporters or BLM supporters.
However the actual definition of this word was given when it was first actually used by Ron Desantis' lawyer and the actual definition he gave as to what a woke person is is this: A person who believes that there are systemic inequalities in our societies that need to be addressed.

Conservative: Wokeness has corrupted the minds of the youth
Progressive: I disagree. I think it has opened their eyes to a lot of the unfairness going on in our society

Get the Wokenessmug. the ironic state of being so hopelessly indoctrinated by the mainstream PC culture of being aggressively anti-establishment, individualistic, tolerant, and overtly aware of every marginalized social demographic that you march in lockstep with the establishment that promotes these false virtues by encouraging you to shed any remnant of individual thought or expression that does not align with the establishment's prescribed virtues, refuse to tolerate any deviation from those virtues in yourself or others, and marginalize others by reducing everyone to nothing more than a collection of immutable traits such as race, gender, and sexual orientation.
Hey! Did you see Marla's new frog/froggy pronouns? Frog identifies as frog after frog saw a 60 minutes exposé about gay, black, female republicans having internalized racist, misogynist tendencies because all gays, blacks, and women are supposed to be democrats. Frog then realized that as a white person frog wasn't oppressed enough to have a valid point of view which made frog sad and want a bath. Then frog realized frog like being in water as much as frog liked being out of the water just like a frog, so frog must be frog! Afterwards, Frog got a promotion at work for being so woke!

Get the wokemug. 'The belief that one is more enlightened, their intentions purer and more correct, and that what they say, do, or practice is always in the best interest of whomever they deem as worthy or in need of it, usually a minority group and/or a financial demographic'

Woke Person B: "What about the other group from the other demographic, who have a conflicting opinion?"
Woke Person A: "Well uh, um, t-they are bad and their views don't matter! Like I said, I champion and give a voice to people, b-but not those other p-people! Shut up!"

Get the Wokemug. Woke means paying attention to whats being done in your name, to your life, in your community, to your neighbors, in your country, in our world. It means taking a stand against injustice where ever it presents. And continuing to strive even if its not personal or apparent.
Its voting in the primary and midterms, not just every four years, for a candidate whose record you have researched. And staying on your representatives to be sure the will of the People is first and foremost on their agenda...
Woke originated in the Black Community.
A 1962 New York Times Magazine article titled "If You're Woke You Dig It" by Black novelist William Melvin Kelley, describing the appropriation of African American slang by white beatniks. While I can understand the author's irritation at their appropriation I can also hear echoes of Divide and Conquer.
The powers that be much prefer the status quo. They cannot stand against the People United.
Woke means being mindful of your influence and never never ever giving up. Striving for the best world that can be. It means having principles and ideals, not just opinions. Woke is sometimes seen as passive but #StayingWoke is being knowledgeable and aware of where your power lies. Knowledge is Power and what is Power if it is not used?
