I don't fully agree with your piece. You only talk about how right-wing people are anti-woke. One can oppose wokeness via other lenses, like a Marxist one. Take the leftist essay “Exiting the Vampire Castle”, about how leftist movements need to oppose wokeness as it is harmful to a socialist vision of class solidarity. Nothing right-wing about that.

So many disparate factions in America are against wokeness, all for different reasons: right wingers as you say, dirtbag-leftist/class-first leftists, libertarians, racial nationalists, religious fundamentalists, scientists that feel like they can no longer do science, rationalists, radfems, and so much more.
