In 2023, former President Donald Trump expressed frustration with the term “woke,” signaling a shift in its use.
Originally rooted in Black activism, “woke” gained broader usage, but was eventually co-opted and diluted by both the right and predominantly white liberal spaces.
The term was weaponized by the right to oppose progressive ideas, leading to its degradation. (Trending: Donald Trump Breaks His Silence After Major Court Win)
Meanwhile, in predominantly white liberal spaces, “woke” became associated with symbolic gestures rather than meaningful change.
This shift sidelined efforts to address systemic racism and inequality.
The term’s decline is evident, with the right struggling to define its meaning and facing diminishing returns in messaging.
Overall, “woke” has been rendered both ineffective and polarizing, symbolizing a missed opportunity for meaningful social change.
