Though I do agree with your "definition" of Woke. I have two problems with attributing all of this to MAGA, republicans have had no plan for moving this country forwards since they became the party of no in 2010. They have coalesced around moving the country back to their "better" time of the 1940's and 50's

Fair points. For my part I date much of this movement to the early 1990s, with the irrational anti-Clinton hatred, the rise of talk radio as a force in generating and sustaining political talking points, and the impact of Newt Gingrich and his grievance-based agenda seeking a constituency. The Tea Party then became the bridge that ultimately passed it along to MAGA, which is leaving its own imprint, and in a particularly destructive manner. My two cents' worth anyway.
