During a trial in Florida, DeSantis' officials were actually asked to define 'woke' and, for example, this is the answer General Counsel gave:
"it would be the belief there are systemic injustices in American society and the need to address them."
The horror! Wanting to make things better? Terrorists, obviously, all of them.

Their stance is essentially that racism, sexism, etc. is dead, therefore belaboring it is akin to McCarthyism hunting for KGB spies from the dead USSR.
I guess, but they never come right out and say that.
They do, but it's rare because they think it's common sense.
Liberals, leftists, and others maligned by the abuse of the word "woke" also don't usually explain why that isn't a bad thing, because to us it's common sense.
In a ~~word~~ phrase? Echo chambers.
The reason they don't like it is because they're the ones responsible for the systematic injustices, and they're in denial about it.
They are not in denial. They just don't want to face that justice.
Hence the denial.
