Thought they meant they have wised upped to what is really going on. Finally realized they are " woke" to nothing more than what is being spewed out of the MSM. Not " woke" to the real world.
Maybe i was not clear enough, or maybe i have this "woke" thing understood in a wrong manner inside my head. As a some kind of a semi-insult. The "normal" people view "woke" people like the woke ones ride on a some kind of a high horse. Like the woke ones "know" better.
And it can be used to write off a person completely. Let me fabricate a conversation: Person 1 says: "I accept homosexuals. There is plenty of hatred in this world, some loving will not hurt anyone. Let them do what they do, i am cool with that." Person 2, with a voice full of disrespect, says: "oh, so you are one of those woke ones, ha-ha!"
