The assertion that many people think that wokeness is ok in principle but is simply taken too far describes the longstanding problem with kosher conservatives and elected Republican officials. Whatever craziness and anti-white initiatives the left proposes the Republicans are generally fine with it but just want it done slowly and in small, manageable doses so as not to alarm the flyover rubes.

The radical left has been bending the establishment right to their will for decades and I don't see that changing. Meanwhile the base is moving right but I digress.

Even Trump, who ran hard on law and order, signed the First Step Act which was far more radical than any pro-criminal policies proposed by Obama. Trump foolishly bought in to the belief that it would win him a record share of the black vote but it didn't. Not even close. Race pandering has never worked Republicans and only alienates large numbers of the base but that doesn't stop them from doing it.
