What does “being woke” actually mean?

Trump fans, Desantis fans are always knocking people or companies (Disney) for being or catering to a “woke” audience or “woke customers

So can someone please explain to me what the term “woke” means? Give me the Oxford dictionary type definitions of what woke is and explain to me why “being woke” is so bad?

Does that also mean that showing sympathy to someone in distress and offering support is a “woke” thing to do?

As we can see in the replies to this the word "woke" has become a buzz word for statists. If someone on the "right" uses woke i understand and if someone on the "left" uses woke i also understand, even though both interpretations are polar opposites.

Woke is a word used to divide us imo as it has taken on a binary, paradoxical meaning depending on who says the word and to whom.
