Commanding the language is one thing the left does really well. And along with that is the reinvention of old words. Although, once they appropriate a word or slogan it is only a matter of time before it becomes a pejorative. "Liberal" is one such word. It no longer means what it once did, i.e., classical liberalism. The word got so overused and abused that they appropriated another old one, "progressive." That one seems to be still in use.
So here's a new one, "woke." Urbandictionary.com defines it this way:
A state of perceived intellectual superiority one gains by reading The Huffington Post.
In other words, "politically correct." BTW, "politically correct" is now a pejorative. So the way these things work, you make be "woke" today, but some day you'll be running away from it.
