Hm, no I think the point is that wokeism got lifeblood from opposition, so it basically received a boost from hating a verifiably Bad Man. So voting in him again would send us down a similar 2016-2022 wokeness cycle. Whereas if you vote in the woke kids, wokeness keeps dying.

I take the point, but I don't find it compelling. I don't think there was genuine popular enthusiasm for the woke stuff and people are mostly glad to see it go away.
There's a broader version of this argument, though, that I find completely plausible: The left/establishment/regime will have some insane reaction to Trump winning that has a similarly toxic impact on our culture as the woke stuff did.
