What is woke?

What does woke mean? I keep hearing Ron DeSantis and Republicans go on and on about woke politics and how they would do away with it. I wondered what woke meant, but even DeSantis couldn’t tell me.

Then I saw on facebook the perfect definition— woke people are aware of the needs of others. They are well informed, humble and kind. They want to make the world a better place.

Evidently Republicans think all these attributes are awful so they are working overtime to eliminate them – from schools, colleges, the workplace and the military.

If you are aware, kind, well informed and humble, be proud – you are woke!
