A lot of interest in the USA Today article indicating that most people view "woke" positively.

But 1) that doesn't mean it's not still a cudgel in some hands and 2) it depends on the assumption that people view social-justice awareness positively.

I think this just backs up something I've been thinking about for a while now. Woke doesn't have a real meaning at this point in time as there's not much of a shared definition across society at large. It's all in the eye of the beholder.

What got me thinking about it was that my wife's ~90yo grandfather asked her what it meant late last year. When she explained he said "Nah, it can't be that because they're always talking about it as being evil on Fox."

Even given a common definition a large chunk of people aren't going to accept it as that at this point.
