The article discusses the resurgence of anti-woke sentiment in the Trump administration's new phase, examining how public attitudes have shifted over the years. While progressive views on race, gender, and immigration gained ground among Democrats and independents between 2011 and 2020, it argues that this anti-woke backlash may misread ongoing liberal trends in American opinion. The discussion reflects on how previous liberal movements energized conversations around inequalities and advocates for recognizing the lasting impacts of these ideas despite current political transformations.

"...attitudes among all Americans (including Republicans) are noticeably more liberal than they were in 2011, according to their research."
