Since I don't exist in that bubble, can you define "woke" & "woke culture"?

Take a trip to any of the major US cities (especially older US cities) and you'll find them by and large to be much much worse than SF in terms of crime. Which is a much more a result of the gross economic disparity found in America th

For the last few years, the only people using the word "woke" are constantly outraged conservative commentators. It's impossible to take you seriously when you use terms like that. Since I don't exist in that bubble, can

Are you saying they don't make fun of the "radical rightists" who deny climate change is real, refuse to take basic safety measure in a worldwide pandemic, decry a war on Christians & Christmas, yet worship a man who raw
