I like that term.

As we did with so many other liberal memes (#FakeNews), let us co-opt it.

I am WOKE. I voted TRUMP.

Someone set you up the woke.
No chance survive your woke.

More socialist claptrap.
If you are forced/tricked to use the socialist lexicon,
you will be assimilated.

Yes, we need to adopt the term and rescue it, because right now, “woke” refers to someone who feigns agreement with affirmative action academic jackasses.

More Newspeak. Thank you, but, no. "Woke" can remain the past indicative for "wake".

Ghetto slang can remain where it was created.

24 Jesus told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. 25 But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away. 26 When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds also appeared.

It's time for us all to wake up and see the weeds.

It is another case of secularists ripping of religious terms. “The sleeper has awakened” and “coming out of the dream” is part of Eastern philosophy.
And then there’s Paul’s Ephesians 5:14 “This is why it is said: ‘Wake up, O sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.’”
