And then there is all the woke stuff, that is unfortunately what the Democrats have been associated with lately.

"Woke" is more of a political weapon created by the right than any actual real concept.
There's no consistent or fixed definition of woke. It's a blanket term applied to anything that MAGA dislikes at any given moment. Woke's only purpose is to manufacture outrage, and it didn't exist as a concept until MAGA made it one.

Case in point: Dems in 2024 did not run on trans issues, almost at all, and yet Republicans spent millions to give the impression that they did.

One can just look at what they did while in power. During Biden's tenure, they severely weakened Title IX protections for women and girls, in deference to trans activist demands. They changed federal prison policy so that men who call themselves women could be incarcerated in women's prisons, and prison staff would be forced to pretend these male prisoners are women. Their "first-ever female four-star admiral" appointed to lead the public health corps, which they falsely touted as a historic win for women, was actually a male transvestite.
This is absurd and harmful policy. Of course the opposition are going to call it out.

What the fuck are you on about? The first female four-star admiral was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelle_Howard, years before Levine.

Levine was falsely described, by himself and others, as the first female four-star admiral appointed to lead that specific organization.

For one, the party either was in favor or did not take a clear stance on issues such as trans people in women's sports, DEI practices and other similar "woke" issues. That was enough to turn off a huge number of voters. Democrats of the Clinton era would have easily defeated Trump.

Let's hope grown adults using the word "woke" unironically dies with 2025.
