Hello cawacko,
Agreed. It is possible to hear the term discussed by others who pay attention to the news. Or through second hand rumor-level discussion of the term.
The 4th Estate acts to keep our nation informed. Most people don't make time for it in their lives. America is not very well informed.
If 'woke' has been in the news, it's news to most Americans.
Personal Ignore Policy PIP: I like civil discourse. I will give you all the respect in the world if you respect me. Mouth off to me, or express overt racism, you will be PERMANENTLY Ignore Listed.

Wacko is evil
He just likes to pretend he’s not
He is always on the wrong side of everything
I just think the buzzword Woke is one of those fads that comes and goes. In two years most people won't be using it. In five years it will sound vaguely stupid.
'Politically correct' was the go-to buzzword 20 years ago, but it is rarely used anymore and sounds out of date.
I have just usually never been the type to jump on a fad bandwagon.
The moral of the story for me, is you can't really have social justice unless you first have economic justice.
Re: the fad nature of the word itself, I imagine you're right. Lingo changes constantly.
But there will be some other fad word to replace it.
For now though, if I need to describe something or someone that appears to be overly PC to the point of defying common sense, woke will have to do it for me.
C'MON MAN!!!!
I don't think or I know it would have not have boded well for Sinema had she voted against this critically important national economic bill that would have put her in a position that she would sorely regret. It comes to a point that engaging in un-American activities at holding the well being of society hostage for one's personal gain which is not the intent of a elected public servant, and other types of sedition which also comes to a point of reckoning. From what I understand, the elected job of a Congress person or any other public official is to be a public servant at serving the best interests of society and not themselves as a get rich scheme on the taxpayer money that pays them to serve their interests only.
