Or do those who say it have no idea what "woke" is?
I saw this today:
What this bridge is, is a memorial for pets who have crossed the Rainbow Bridge. The sides have tags and collars of loved ones.
The damage was someone took some white paint and poured it on the bridge, then decided to spread it with their shoes.
Someone in the comments said:
It's just paint. Pubic places should be vandalized. People are tired of woke.
Are people truly this tired of woke to do something this petty and small while misunderstanding what the rainbow is about here?
Someone said:
Conservatives think about gay people more than gay people do
Do they do this to every rainbow they see? Try to destroy it? Without even understanding what it may be there for?
Do they also forget that the rainbow is a religious symbol, so they are destroying a effigy?
I have think, anyone this concerned about a rainbow in their community is either mentally unwell and needs help, or needs to stop listening to whatever they are listening to and get above that droning because it is hurting them and their community.
No one should be this unhinged over a rainbow.

That first response you quoted - calling for vandalism - shows only just how shallow, peurile, irresponsible anc coardly some "someones" on antisocial media can be.
I am tired of hearing the work "woke" used.
This American slang had a tragically real and understandable meaning when coined in the 1930s, if not earlier. It was revived only fairly recently and soon became merely a meaningless term of abuse against anyone or any idea not fully that of its unthinking user.

In this particular case I doubt very much the vandals would understand and could answer your questions. I doubt they have the intelligence, and would certainly lack the courage, to explain their motive.
