Can someone please define "woke" for me?
Break it down to it's definition and you'll understand what it means and why Right-wingers HATE being "woke". What does the word mean? It's the past tense of "wake". What does "wake" mean?:
1. emerge or cause to emerge from a state of sleep; stop sleeping.
2. become alert or aware of.
The term "woke" in the modern political sense is based off the original meaning as well. Those that are "woke" aren't sleeping through reality, they are awake and aware of the truths of the world. Why do Right-wingers hate the "woke crowd"? That's easy because they want people with their eyes closed. They want people unaware of the things they are doing. They want people to live in a fantasy world they've created, this "ideal America" that is the savior to the world and can do no wrong, and that White Americans are TRUE Americans and that bad people are those that are different (those that question the role of women in a world where men make all the rules, the brown and black folk, the foreigners, the people of other religions, those of no-religions, the non-straight, or other people they'd deem "misfits of society"). That's their American Dream, so all the woke folk out there have their eyes open and we see the world for what it really is. We SEE what THEY are doing. They HATE THAT!!!
