Yes, but we'll have stuck it to the woke, and that's what counts.

Isolating the US from the rest of the world economically and politically and plunging the country into an unforced recession while giving trillions of dollars to billionaires and texting state secrets to journalists and relatives to own the libs.

“stick it to all the too-tolerent people who let the woke movement gain power” would be a good steel manning of your argument

Which people in the woke movement had power, and what were some of the woke policies that they enacted?

Every time I go down this line, it’s all vague boogeymen or claims of events that don’t hold up to scrutiny.

It is a dog whistle for "We let gays/trans/atheist people exist."

I dont know Im only removing the strawmen of the comment

It's not a good steel manning. You haven't explained what "too tolerant" is, or how much power we're talking about.

My comment was bitter sarcasm lamenting how much is lost and how little gained, not an argument. And you could call that out. But just flopping the words around doesn't turn it into an argument.
