Woke means Awake

The MAGAT, many of his cult, and their corporate and political supporters, who willfully reject facts and what is right to do, are morally asleep. To be “Woke” indicates intellectual honesty, being alert to the injustices in life, and is a badge of honor.

If by a “Liberal” they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people―their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights and their civil liberties―someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a “Liberal”, then I’m proud to say I’m a “Liberal.”

― John F. Kennedy
