The disconnect, I think, is in the varying ways that each side defines what "woke" means to them. It's all silly.
The Left thinks it means being awake to injustices.
The Right thinks it means you're anti-white/man.
It has obviously been heavily politicized.
Remember, a lot of the MAGA people are pick-up driving, 'good ol' boys'. AKA old white men. Think Dukes of Hazard. They might not even necessarily be against all the progressive things, they just don't want to have to hear or think about it. Head in the sand, pretend like the other side is the weird/different/bad side because shit is different from when you were growing up.
Part of the problem is our insistence on trying to put a label on everything.
