One thing I've heard is when conservatives use the word "woke", just replace it with "uppity", because once you cut out all the bullshit that's what they mean. To a conservative, everybody has a place in society in that there are people born onto a natural hierarchy. Black people are inferior to white people, poor people are inferior to rich people, etc., and in true Calvinist fashion it doesn't matter what choices people make, there's no action one can take to change their position. Wherever a person happens to be as an accident of birth defines their value. And in that line of thinking, the worst imaginable crime isn't murder or rape or genocide, it's upsetting the little caste system they've imposed upon the world. Woke ultimately means upsetting the caste system. That includes allowing women to have human rights, letting black people attend college, but even also applying the oh so bronze age concept of rule of law to those who commit crimes against someone "lesser than".

Conservatism is literally incompatible with civilized society in the most fundamental sense. Democracy isn't just at stake, it's the entire concept of rule of law. If conservatives had their way, every day would be like The Purge.
