I generally think of "woke" as being aware that the United States is built on a cemetery full of racist and misogynistic skeletons, among other variations. The "woke" people want to atone and rebuild and create a stronger more humanistic and inclusive foundation. The people complaining about "wokeness" think everything is just fine and nothing should be changed. The act of rebuilding better is an attack at their livelihood.
