    Others are pointing out that “woke” just means “being liberal”, though I do think there is more to it than that. The term “woke” is often used satirically by conservatives to describe decisions made by institutions to incorporate liberal ideals where they feel is unnecessary.

    Obligatory “I’m not conservative.” Fiscal conservative, social liberal checking in. Not saying that incorporating liberal ideas into decisions is a bad thing or anything, just stating that’s often how the term is used.

    Not sure why you’re being downvoted, honestly.

      Who cares about downvotes? That’s a Reddit thing. I’m an old white guy but I vote Democrat all the way down ticket every time. I was a big Bernie Sanders supporter. What I do not like is virtue signaling and forcing diversity into various media when it’s not necessary. Call that anti-woke if you want.
