Let’s get something straight. The weaponization of the term “woke” by the political right is not a joke. Far from it. It provides a window into the low regard (to say the least) these people have for human rights, empathy, and the truth.
You can see the self-satisfaction, if not outright glee, as they appropriate a term that began as an aspirational notion of justice for Black activists and their allies into a slur hurled right back at the community from which it came. The fact that “woke” “originated in African American English” (according to Merriam-Webster) only increases the joy of those who spit it out with derision.
This is saying, in effect: “Try to come get it and feel your powerlessness.”
