Woke is now defined in this dictionary as “aware of and actively attentive to important facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice),” and identified as U.S. slang. It originated in African American English and gained more widespread use beginning in 2014 as part of the Black Lives Matter movement. By the end of that same decade it was also being applied by some as a general pejorative for anyone who is or appears to be politically left-leaning.

He has and still is actively trying to spread a potentially deadly disease for reasons of political and economic power
and at the same time trying to feed some kind of mouth breathing Fox News watching group he sees as his "base"
made up gibberish in order to keep them angry @ "the others" and their attention diverted from the simple truth
that he is a ruthless and very smart shit who at his core is Machiavellian.

I see it a lot in the foreign press and still don't get it. Is it like something is "sick" being cool but not a malady? Like "That is a SICK ride you got there, is it new?"
I'm confused...
