When you say Wokeness isn't a response to Trumpism, you're talking about proto-Wokeness, not the cult that metastosized or went viral only in 2015.

The academic postmodernism and neo-Marxist critiques of consumerism hardly amounted to a cult. So you're equivocating on "wokeness." As I say, the word "woke" goes all the way back to the early twentieth century, when it was a reaction to real racism. That, too, was hardly a cult.

But I agree with the thrust of your comment, and I'm going to add a paragraph or two to the article, to point out that Trumpism does react to Wokeness.

I agree also with your point about the dynamic between the urban and rural classes. There's mutual antagonism there, and I recently made that same point in an article on the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
