Also, "woke" more or less means "enlightened," so "anti-woke" is pretty much "ignorance is strength."

I feel like wokeness in general requires empathy and understanding of the plight of others. Anti-woke means being unempathetic, and folks feel that is positive? I literally can't comprehend being for Team Sociopath, but millions of people will vote for Trump, so it's real.
