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”

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.

It's a good thing to stay woke.

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.
