The anger comes from the discomfort that people have (some more than others) with change.

People propose lots of changes, most get shot down and rejected by society because they’re bad ideas. Go look at all the dead-end ideas from the 1960s. Most of what falls within the umbrella of “woke” today will meet the same fate.
For example, I’m pretty sure that 10 years from now the racial affinity groups in my 5th grader’s school are going to be an embarrassing idea liberals will pretend never happened, rather than being the future of race relations in America.

A useful idiot blissfully thinks they're changing the world for the better while installing a Party member to enforce "Equity" on the unwilling.

Anger comes from change they perceive to be bad.
