It's a huge number of examples of that right wing individuals using "woke" in a vague way.
Show me one example of a right wing individual using "woke" in a specific way.
You're misreading me and moving the goalposts. There is a media trend which can be (very poorly) described as "woke and political." One of the reasons why people who are bothered by this trend should refrain from using this code/shorthand is that it allows other people to project hate onto it, which is, in my view, equally shitty. Outlets like Fox deliberately court this behavior because it drives engagement. You shared their viral content for them. I wonder if you even viewed one of their ads on the way.
Yeah I'm browsing the fediverse but I don't know how to install AdBlock on my browser.
"woke" has always been vague, on purpose. It's so you can retcon any "implicit" meaning you want, as you tried to.
Right wingers don't use "woke" in a specific way and we both know it, that's why you can't muster a single example to back up your claim.
I'll even help you out: here is a time when a right wing individual specifically defined "woke":

There is nothing to do with the writing quality of any TV show in there.
But even that arbitrary definition doesn't seem to encapsulate other things commonly described as woke that are not systemic injustices, like the existence of trans people or climate change.
