    What? It fits perfectly. “Woke”, as in eyes open and not asleep at the wheel. Able to see the injustice around you.

    Has the term really been so warped by bigots that people don’t know what it originally meant?

      I was agreeing with you: “woke” does not mean simply that you want to “cancel” people saying things you disagree with, so it doesn’t fit the current case where conservatives want to do that to left-leaning TV celebrities.
