I don’t think the output of a media outlet is a useful handle on what individuals mean when they use politicized terms. To put it another way, if you’re gonna quote Fox you should also quote HuffPo
You’re misreading me and moving the goalposts. There is a media trend which can be (very poorly) described as “woke and political.” One of the reasons why people who are bothered by this trend should refrain from using this code/shorthand is that it allows other people to project hate onto it, which is, in my view, equally shitty. Outlets like Fox deliberately court this behavior because it drives engagement. You shared their viral content for them. I wonder if you even viewed one of their ads on the way.
“To me, it means someone who believes that there are systemic injustices in the criminal justice system, and on that basis they can decline to fully enforce and uphold the law,”
There is nothing to do with the writing quality of any TV show in there.
But even that arbitrary definition doesn’t seem to encapsulate other things commonly described as woke that are not systemic injustices, like the existence of trans people or climate change.
You are entirely making that up.

Show me one example of a right wing individual using “woke” in a specific way.

Yeah I’m browsing the fediverse but I don’t know how to install AdBlock on my browser.
“woke” has always been vague, on purpose. It’s so you can retcon any “implicit” meaning you want, as you tried to.
Right wingers don’t use “woke” in a specific way and we both know it, that’s why you can’t muster a single example to back up your claim.
I’ll even help you out: here is a time when a right wing individual specifically defined “woke”:
