unfortunate wapo refuses to just come out and say "wokeism" is the latest in a long series of utterly made up things being used by the right to attack the left because the right has nothing to offer https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/02/21/wokeism-republicans-liberals/?utm_source=feedly&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=wp_politics
Republicans use ‘wokeism’ to attack left — but struggle to define it

Conservatives attach the term to a host of policies they oppose, from transgender rights to climate change measures to socially responsible investing.

@froomkin woke may at times include “caring about the future”, "caring about the future of our kids and their kids”, "caring about others”, "caring about the state of our planet”, or “caring about something other than ourselves”

@froomkin

The Right does have something to offer, just not to American voters

The Right is offering OPEC nations an opportunity to keep the globe hooked on their toxic planet-frying products, in exchange for their financial support interfering in elections

The Right is offering fundamentalist religions an opportunity to impose their cruelty on everyone, in exchange for a theocracy

The Right is offering corporations an opportunity for unfettered kleptocracy, in exchange for campaign finance
