I hear Trumppers complaining about people they call “Woke”.
The way I understand it, if a person tries to be aware of others, their needs and feelings, and tries to behave in a considerate way toward others, they are “Woke”.
Somehow that’s an insult?

woke is what white people call each other to pretend they care about black lives mattering.
MTV's racist screed is funny on it.
Its like when they turned elite into a bad word.
To me, being "the elite" meant you were the best at something.
I enjoy Hawley and Cruz, (Ivy League graduates) complaining about the elite.

The Republican Party has to make caring about others seem like being stupid
They are the sociopathic party
They NEED their voters to be convinced it’s foolish to care about other people
Otherwise it would be obvious that their party’s ideas are evil fucking sociopathic crap

"They" being those people who said we should speak truth to power? Those in power are the elite right? They are the best at what they do. Why should we should challenge them instead of accepting they know best?
Why did/do people say 'question authority'? Again, those in authority are the elite are they not? Why question the elite?
“This idea of purity and you’re never compromised and you’re always politically ‘woke’ and all that stuff,”
Mr. Obama said. “You should get over that quickly.”
“The world is messy; there are ambiguities,” he continued. “People who do really good stuff have flaws. People who you are fighting may love their kids, and share certain things with you.”
I do get a sense sometimes now among certain young people, and this is accelerated by social media, there is this sense sometimes of: ‘The way of me making change is to be as judgmental as possible about other people,’” he said, “and that’s enough.”
“Like, if I tweet or hashtag about how you didn’t do something right or used the wrong verb,” he said, “then I can sit back and feel pretty good about myself, cause, ‘Man, you see how woke I was, I called you out.’”

Tulsi Gabbard, a Democratic presidential candidate and a congresswoman from Mr. Obama’s home state of Hawaii, seized on his words as a campaign message for her supporters.
“In a nutshell, Obama is saying we all need a little more aloha spirit,” she tweeted. “Being respectful & caring for one another. Not being so quick to judge. Not seeing everything as black/white. I hope you’ll join me in bringing the spirit of aloha to the White House.”
Another Democratic presidential candidate, Andrew Yang, also championed the message on Twitter.
“He is right on all counts,” Mr. Yang said.
Others called out the 44th president for being “paternalistic.”
Michael Arceneaux, the author of “I Can’t Date Jesus: Love, Sex, Family, Race, and Other Reasons I’ve Put My Faith in Beyoncé,” said he didn’t “need lessons about ‘being woke’ and ‘cancel culture’” in an op-ed for The Independent.
“I am never quite sure if Obama really thinks this naïvely or if he’s trying to convince certain sects of the population — notably young black folks, whom he just loves to lecture — that it’s better to coddle white people about their prejudices with the hopes of growth rather than speak our minds as we see fit,” he said.

I am not against challenging them, obviously I challenge them for a living. Are you saying that there is nothing wrong with being elite, but we should be encouraged to challenge them?
I WHOLEHARTEDLY AGREE!
I just keep hearing a different sentiment expressed, which is a base attack on "the elite" for being elite. Its funniest coming from those who consider themselves elite.
