I was sloppy. What I meant to say was more like, the people screaming "woke" are all about maintaining male, white privilege.

Nonetheless, the issue here is that even if the politicians pandering to the anti-woke sentiments intended to favor "their people" (and they don't) that is only about 20% of the population that has any reasonable expectation of privilege under the anti-woke thing.

In reality, it is just another wedge issue, like abortion and guns, that the 1% use to give themselves (and nobody else) privilege.
