That root cause certainly seems relevant, but why think there's only one root cause? In fact, there's likely no event that has only a single cause. We could look at the Civil Rights movement, but then we'd have to consider the causes of that movement, such as American racism, slavery, and the Enlightenment ideals of humanism. The fact that these more recent movements (Wokeness and Trumpism) have such complex causes only adds to the mystery of why the pair would metastasize at roughly the same time, in 2015.
