America has two teams - the center right team and the far-far-far right team.
The center right team has the disadvantage of having no ethos or guiding principles aside from "Not as bad as the Republicans," so given a chance, they just capitulate as hard as they can.
Case in point: this article. It could be summed up as this: "We're sorry that these uppity negroes are using this word which the far right mocks, and we'll shut them up right now!"
Are the non-Republicans ever going to take a stand? Apparently not.
Yes, the word "woke" has been poisoned, but they will continue to do this to every word, like "social justice", that we use to describe not being gloating psychopaths.
It's a crying shame both the Republicans and the Democrats have spent generations defecating on the actual left in America and kowtowing to the right's every whim. Until this situation is remedied, I see only a continuation of the accelerating collapse.
