Haha I'm not denying that some like to use the negative connotation of 'woke' to make everything sound bad.

The extreme left will call everything bigotry and the extreme right will call everything woke. Because there can only be two options and once someone/something is labelled, further discussion isn't necessary...

Yeah the original term woke was first used by people of color, long before the right decided to use it for propaganda purposes.
