I don't know how I'd answer that question without first asking "what the f--k are you on about?"
It is kind of funny, though,
how the word's usage has progressed.
1930s: Stay woke!
2010: Stay woke!
2017: Stay woke! Also, woke is in the Oxford dictionary! Yay!
2020:
Political right: The left is all about being woke.
