> Maybe woke went too far You're falling for it. In America right now, there are basically three political alignments in terms of how they orient themselves around domestic political problems: - PseudoFascist Right (current people holding power): this is largely a collective of misinformed or uninformed people who are are feeling the severe effects of wealth inequality and have been duped into thinking the cause is their (equally destitute) neighbor rather than the talking suits who don't pay taxes. - Less Radical Right: these people call themselves "democrats" or "centrists". They are essentially only interested in maintaining existing political power and the prevailing order. They also don't want to do anything about wealth inequality, but rather than try and blame it on people of a particular race, gender, etc. they invert the message and point to other actual disparities and problems, sometimes they make concessions and solve some of these issues, but even this is rare. - The Remnants of the Left: These are the people who recognize wealth inequality as the underlying root of domestic problems. They actually want to address wealth inequality, but they have the least power, because America's political system has been co-opted by the wealthy through mechanisms like lobbying. The whole "did the left go too far with woke" is a strawman being adopted by the "Less Radical Right" after their recent election loss. They hope to use this as an excuse so that, when they are up for re-election, they can still avoid solving the actual problems or addressing the actual concerns (wealth inequality) of much of the left. The core of the problem is that representatives are directly incentivized against their constituents because they get their palms greased by those "American citizens" called corporations.
