The recognition that there are entrenched systematic inequalities based on bigotry in American society, and the belief that action should be taken to break them down.
DeSantis’ general counsel, Ryan Newman, responded that the term means “the belief there are systemic injustices in American society and the need to address them.”
To be “woke” is to be aware that things are not all butterflies and puppy dogs, and to acknowledge that fact.
In other words, to be anti-woke is to willingly chose to remain ignorant about all the awful things that are happing in the world, such as racial inequality, for example.
The real answer is just that it’s a blanket term used by conservatives to refer to liberal ideas. For example, saying that gay marriage should be legal makes you “woke”
Alternatively, and one adopted by the alt medicine movement, new age and fringe groups, is to be aware of chakras, crystals aliens (Pleiadians, the Grays, etc) and other conspiracies. Basically to buy into the quack. I used to lurk those communities on FB for years often back in the day and was incredibly confused when people meant the other type of woke when the term gained traction.
What does woke mean?

It’s a good thing to stay woke.
