It may be your right to be woke, but it's a very bad decision politically. Woke is the singular reason that the orange menace buffoon is sitting in the White House today. Young men HATE woke, and not just white young men. They are sick and tired of being told their masculinity is toxic, and that they are the reason for all the problems, and that they are the oppressors. True or false, they don't want to hear it. In the words of King Arthur in Camelot, "they are done with feeble helping". They aren't interested in giving up one ounce of their "privilege", and all the media they consume reinforces that. The same goes for black and hispanic men. They may never get the "white" privilege part, but they sure as hell want to keep their male privilege. And more and more women seem to agree with and support them.
The entire Democrat agenda, even the decent parts, has gotten lumped together with DEI and trans, under the icky title of "Woke", and it's an electoral loser. And, Trump and MAGA know it, even if the Democrats refuse to acknowledge that reality. Their entire campaign and agenda was/is based on it.
To turn the tide on this will take a tectonic shift in the Democrat platform. It's not about convincing these voters that woke is OK. It will take an obviously not-woke candidate with a lot of charisma, and even then, he's going to have to throw some woke under the bus to prove his creds - like Bill Clinton had to do in the 1990's with leftwing liberalism from the 1970-80's. It's up to Dems to come to MAGA if they want to dilute Trumpism, not the other way around, or we will have Trumpism and chaos in their pure form for the foreseeable future.
