My view is that both sides are aggressively waging their own culture wars, while pretending to only be reacting to the other side. I think I have been fair in calling out both sides, although I tend to do it on different occasions. As you can see, those who support wokeism have been very unhappy about me calling out and opposing their plan to radically change society. So yes, the woke are waging a culture war and don't like others calling them out for it. I will continue to call them out regardless. But I think the right is guilty of the same thing, which is why I also call them out regularly. Conservatives might not have started the woke side of the wars, but they are responsible for starting their own side of the wars (e.g. Michael Knowles calling for the eradication of transgenderism from public life, which you clearly can't blame on frustration towards wokeism alone.)

As for the Democratic coalition shifting towards an extremely 'progressive' stance on various issues, that might have been true 5 years ago, but they are already scaling back. You have to give credit where it's due, and not paint the Democrats as all-woke.
