Woke

 

I have awakened to wokeness. I may have been awake to it for a long time. My beginning and end are the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and next the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights. Of course, about one-third of Americans are possessed by the devil and don't get it.

In activism and politics, woke (/ˈwoʊk/ WOHK) means 'alert to racial prejudice and discrimination.' 

Being woke is shuttered in Florida by Governor DeSantis. Radical Republican ideologists edit the library. WTF, over?

"What is the meaning of 'woke'? Once a term used by Black Americans, it's now a rallying cry for GOP, Mabinty Quarshie, USA TODAY."

"During last week's Conservative Political Action Conference, speaker after speaker attacked "woke" ideology in their speeches to conservative activists. 

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley decried wokeness as "a virus more dangerous than any pandemic, hands down." 

"I traveled the country calling out the woke industrial complex in America," GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy bragged.

Elsewhere, Republicans have declared war on "woke capitalism" and even introduced legislation like the "Stop WOKE Act" in Florida, an acronym for Stop the Wrongs to Our Kids and Employees."
