Leaving the strategic timing of identity politics out of this, do you in principle agree that this type of backlash is a sign of the need for some form of "woke activism" so the idea of gender equality, trans right, minority rights etc isn't met with what are effectively temper tantrums (without meaning this dismissively if you can believe it, simply as a coding of "emotionally driven, self destructive acts")? Because I'm inclined to put at least some of the responsibility for getting Trump elected on those who vote for Trump when faced with a view they don't like. Last sentence emphasis: this is not about the strategic timing of when and how, just about the acknowledgement that "you should stop asking for these political goals otherwise I'll vote for trump again" is not something a respected person for whom identity politics isn't required would be facing
