Wokeness to them means, “progressive policy positions we believe will be a net loss with the electorate.” This year, that will almost certainly mean abandoning trans people, since the bigoted, “she’s for they/them,” campaign Trump ran against Harris was very effective. It’s similar to how the party was happy to capitalize off the energy of the 2020 BML protests, but once the phrase, “Defund the Police,” started test poorly with the electorate, they began distancing themselves from the movement.
I haven’t heard any Democrats blame minorities. I mean, sure, I’ve seen terminally online people say that Muslims and Latinos deserve what’s about to happen, but the actual Democrats don’t seem to want to even acknowledge the loss. They pretty much only have identity politics left for a platform; they’ve adopted conservative positions on fiscal policy, foreign policy, and border policy; all they can really do to differentiate themselves from Republicans is to not be openly hostile to minority groups. The fact that they are now losing these groups seems like something few of them want to acknowledge.
And what is “wokeness.” “Wokeness” means to them the existence of queer people, women, and POC.
Also, I envy you for not seeing democrats blame minorities for the rise of Trump, I wish I could be so happily nieve.
