How long until some dumbfuck waste of carbon conservative declares this to be woke?

Woke is an adjective derived from African-American Vernacular English originally meaning alertness to racial prejudice and discrimination.

Yes it's woke. Yes that's good. I'll never shy away from calling out the right's ridiculous demonisation of anti-racism...

Edit: Also yea, I bet Nigel Farage or some other Reform fool is already yelling into the void about this.
