When Wokeism falls apart, Conservatives might be in trouble. Being against something that is obviously idiotic is easy. Coming up with good policies of their own is much more difficult. I'm sure Conservatives will screw it up, and I'll be creating memes for those a-holes also.

....so, one more time. What you call "wokeism" is an arbitrary word to attempt to rebrand what used to be called "PC culture" in the 90's and "SJW's" in the 10's and was briefly attempted to be labelled as "virtue-signalling" except that didn't stick at all, and what it really is is old people complaining that they can't be as inappropriate as they could get away with up until the mid-1970's.
Wokeism isn't falling apart, your label for it is. And you'll find another one. And it will be just as nonsensical as the one you're using now. The thing itself at the substance of what you're complaining about - that's always been there. It didn't appear, it and it won't disappear; there have ALWAYS been consequences for being an asshole, it's just that the Internet makes it harder to ignore the consequences.
Look up the story of Joseph McCarthy & the Salem Witch Trials. Accusing innocent people of being racist-nazis for political gain won't stand anymore. It's certainly not working for Trudeau. If one's self-esteem is completely invested in looking down on people one considers morally inferior, one is in for a rude awakening. Just like McCarthy & the witch hunters went away, the woke will go away. They are becoming more and more a joke like the mullet and disco.

You know that the takeaway of McCathyism was the folly of trying to smear a buzzword much like "woke" on something you want removed for your own political gain?
Definition of woke, SJW's, politically correct: Those who try to empower themselves by accusing others of being racist, homophobic, misogynistic, etc. They are preachy, sanctimonious, tedious, negative, boring, predictable, hypocrites.

That's a discussion for another time but for now I'm happy that you've just admitted that you were wrong about this being it's own short term thing that's dying out.
People are waking up to wokeness. It is dying, but history always repeats. It will raise its ugly head again sometime in the future in another incarnation. Whenever the unscrupulous can gain by accusing the innocent and there are enough panicking idiots to believe them "it" will return. Past incarnations: Spanish Inquisition, Jewish purges, Salem Witch Hunt, McCarthyism, PC, SJWs, Woke, etc...

You call something woke, people are flocking to support it. You'd have been better off not drawing attention to it at all.
