PC is the old woke. PC was 1990s. Woke is 2020s. 

 

It is just leftists complaining about minor things.

Can you give examples of leftists complaining about minor things and explain how that is woke?  Probably not.

 

Woke now is used almost entirely by conservatives as a very general slur.  Presidential candidates use it the most.  None of them give a definition.

What on Earth makes you think that it is only used by "MAGA people"?  This simply isn't true.

 

Words can change meanings.

There is no new meaning. Just some Trolls have taken it upon themselves to corrupt it’s usage. It simply means to ‘be aware’; to be alert to what is occurring around you. 
 

Nothing to do with being left wing. It’s simply right wings Trolls who have attempted to co-opt it. 
Recognise yourself?

It's a mental disorder like most of the nonsense of the left. Any truth that opposes their fanatical bs they arbitrarily call it misinformation. If you don't fall in line with their ideology, they arbitrarily call you racist. The list goes on and on....... There's a glimpse of the definition.

I'm convinced we could get DeSantis to enforce stricter regulations on gun rights if we tell him the gun nuts have gone all woke.....lol

On the other hand what exactly does WOKE mean?

To DeSantis just about anything he's against is woke

 

But to the majority of American they see “woke” in a positive light, and define the term as “to be informed, educated on and aware of social injustices.”

No. You switched from only "MAGA" types using it to it being "MAGA" plus people who use the word as an insult.

 

I think you've pretty much shown your hand.

The point is ONLY maga people use the word and NEVER non maga people other than to discuss it's misuse.

A perspective of living in a bubble as most wokies. Most American despise the woke.

At least he's not demented like the putty puppet that the unaware uneducated injustice wokeis put in there.

Not surprised that the usual suspects on this forum claim not to know the meaning

 

Woke

• Umbrella term for individuals who are engrossed by social justice and thinks of themselves as saviors with a moral high ground, but remain willfully ignorant to the irrationality of their claims and the problems they create.

USA TODAY/Ipsos Poll found a that majority of Americans, including 78% of Democrats and 37% of Republicans, see “woke” in a positive light, and define the term as “to be informed, educated on and aware of social injustices.”

Which proves it is leftism. Big support from the left. If you ask Liverpool supporters if the like the Liverpool FC they tend to say yes.

You don't say?

 

Your nonsensical addendum is just that. I can't confirm anything. It's defined in the dictionary.

Perhaps you are just a victim of the ‘right wing’ Trolls and have unwillingly accepted the corrupted interpretation to mean anything about which you don’t agree. 
I write simply of the original definition. I guess Trump is referring to the idiots who use it to try to insult, rather than having a true understanding of it’s meaning. 
Woke has nothing to do with being left wing.

Go google it then. Wokeism is just an expansion on PC stuff. All the same thing just worse.
