“Woke” is just another word for “enlightened”. However, people claiming this adjective for themselves aren’t even close to being so.

Changing the meaning of words - oh you mean like 'marriage', 'woman', 'recession', 'racist', or 'fascist'? Hmmm, I wonder who's been busy redefining and twisting these meanings over the last decade and a half?🤔😔🇺🇲
