It’s like a coworker coming up to you and saying “hey have you noticed Carl hums really loudly when he has headphones on” and then when you you’re like “yeah I’ve noticed that, it’s kinda annoying” they ask if you want to help burn his house down, they’ve already tied up his family inside.

With things like land acknowledgments and “pronoun policing,” it’s not this never happened, nor that every time it did was great, never ever misguided, cringy, annoying, etc
It’s
1) Nowhere near as pervasive as made out to be
and
2) Not even close to a rational justification for ending democracy

Instead, the right cites minor daily annoyances, blows them up into "attacks on civilization" to blind people with enough rage that they FEEL more pertinent than any GOP policy.
Before Trump won again, did libs dare admit a lot of this stuff was annoying? Or were they too afraid of being bad allies to voice that, ceding space for criticism to the right?
If you really mean "Did the group conensus go unambiguously anti-woke", well, nope, I guess it didn't.
They weren't ever allowed a seat at the table to moderate what the grand plan to roll out greater social equity would be.
They just didn't have the same influence or power as nonprofit grifters or fairweather allies who did maximalist idpol. Also the annoying woke stuff was just more popularly accessible.
A candle in a tsunami of right-wing media and right-wing money. The public opinion is fabricated. Nothing done by the normal world, not even Biden remaining, mattered.

There isn't the same sensationalism in the inverse, as libs mistake uncouth for insignificant.
Let people call themselves what they want, it's not that big of a deal
doctors will still call you, individually, a woman the same way they'll say "gallbladder stones" instead of "choledocholithiasis"
