Woke 2.0
A movement beaten at the polls is said to be regrouping out of sight, its unpopular agenda pushed through courts and institutions under other names, until it comes back worse than before.

⚠️ A story people tell, not a claim that it's true.
A motif is the shape of a story as its tellers tell it, named the way a folklorist names a tale type, so the same story told about other people, by the other side or in another year lands in the same place. Some of the claims below are true, many are false. Arguing against a story is often a story of its own, its answer (Voter fraud is answered by Voter suppression, Lawfare by No one is above the law), and we file it there; where no answer has a motif yet, the arguments against a story sit with its tellings.
🎙️ Who it came up with
the shows we follow where its claims came up (0 left-leaning, 0 center, 3 right-leaning so far), colored by the show's lean; the bar is how many of its claims each one heard
- right-leaning
"Came up on" means one of its claims was heard on the show: told, reported or argued against. We don't yet mark which. Show leans are our own grouping of the shows we transcribe.
🗣️ In so many words
the words that carry it
💬 the tellers' own words: “No, woke 2.0 is just going to be them emboldened and back in power. All the same ideas. All the craziest stuff.” “They haven't changed any of their beliefs or ideas.” “They're going to try to bring back as much of this as they possibly can.” “woke 2.0 is coming down the pike.” “Woke 2.0 is just Woke 1.0 with a new coat of paint on it. It's the same thing.”
