Folkies have become Wokies, RIP folk music.

I've heard the word "woke" used a lot lately, usually by right wing folks, but I was never quite sure what it meant. Was it a real word, or just something that someone made up? (I guess all words were made up by someone)
I checked a couple of on line dictionaries and found that they all were very similar to this:

Merriam-Websterhttps://www.merriam-webster.com › dictionary › woke
Woke - aware of and actively attentive to important facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice)

Strangely enough, Most of the right wing sites seem to use this word as an insult. This definition sounds pretty complimentary to me.

This led me to find some definitions of other right wing "insults".
One of the worst insults for a right winger is to call someone a "liberal".

liberal adjective
1.
willing to respect or accept behavior or opinions different from one's own; open to new ideas.
2.
relating to or denoting a political and social philosophy that promotes individual rights, civil liberties, democracy, and free enterprise.

Similar: tolerant, unprejudiced, unbigoted, broad-minded, open-minded, enlightened, forbearing, permissive, free, easygoing, laissez-faire, libertarian, latitudinarian, unbiased, impartial, nonpartisan, indulgent, lenient, lax, soft

Opposite: narrow-minded, bigoted

liberal noun
1. a supporter of policies that are socially progressive and promote social welfare.
2. a supporter of a political and social philosophy that promotes individual rights, civil liberties, democracy, and free enterprise.

This also sounds more like a compliment than an insult.

While I wouldn't use these words to describe myself, I sure wouldn't feel insulted if you want to use 'em to describe me.
