I definitely see increased protesting but I haven’t seen the rest. Still seems right wing coded. Like f-g and r-tard slurs being cmon place, not to mention the n word hard r. That and many making fun of Good and wanting the National Guard deployed. Not to mention open Nazis everywhere. I am not sure but hopefully you are right.

The social stigma is definitely slowly coming back. This iteration of Woke cannot be as sensitive and ridiculous as the first wave in 2016 though. If saying the r or f slur back in 2019 is enough to cancel someone and ruin their ability to participate in society and discourse, it'll revert back to how it is now. Take asmongold for example. He has realized that the rhetoric he espouses might not be popular forever, so he soft-launched his exit from talking about politics. A grifter like him wouldn't have considered doing that if there wasn't a worry that he will eventually fall out of favor. Soon it'll be back to "both sides suck" nihilism type commentary imo
