"Woke" as I understand it is being well informed and "alternative facts" are lies.
So by my reasoning, people who are not "woke' believe the lies that are dished out, like 70% of Repugnants (not being woke) believing that Trump won in 2020 (alternate facts).

Woke is a slang word and means different things to different people, kinda like the N word. That being said, in my circles it is mostly used as a sarcastic put down of opinions, usually from the left, backed by gross ignorance.
A somewhat antiquated example: A "woke" person may hate cops because they are so quick to shoot black men. That is an opinion based on gross ignorance and denial of the actual stats on police shootings as they relate to race.
A more recent example: A woke person believes that George Floyd was killed by a cop putting his knee on his neck. But he died of a fentanyl overdose. But to be clear. A person that "casually" believes a cop killed him is not woke. Rather, the person who vehemently believes it and may even join protests or riots about it is the one that is woke.
