Black people used “woke” to mean “aware of the injustices facing black people”, “awake” to them, if you will. People later extended that word to injustices facing minorities in general, whether by race, gender, etc.
Trumpists hate minorities, and as such, believe that being woke is being delusional. Hence why they see it as bad.
