Thanks for a very throrough and engaging analysis. I would probably quibble with your timeline, though. Ideas around critical race theory and anti-oppression rhetoric were circulating well before 2015. I don't think they can be attributed tor actions against Trump or Turmpism. I do think Trump and his henchmen pointed to woke-ism as a tactic during the 2016 campaign right from the beginning. I'd also point out that Trump drew upon ideas from people like Ann Coulter who'd been circulating many of his principles for years. Regardless, the polarization of American society is a grave cause for concern and you've done a great job in exposing it in this essay. Thanks for taking the time to share your insights.
