At least from my side, the current young people (high school age to early college) absolutely despise the woke crap and anything reminiscent of lockdowns. They'll openly joke about it as opposed to my generation where it was socially taboo throughout university. I see the bulk of support for "woke" stuff coming from the generation that has already passed university (25 year old ish) where wokeness was in full swing. They all have their stories on how horrible the lockdowns were and related absurdities of remote classes and stuff like that. This isn't just young men too, the young women are also recognizing that "woke" stuff is for women who are very unattractive, obese or otherwise unlikable and unhygienic. They're more open minded in that they question what they're blindly told which causes them to recognize the total absurdities of what constitutes truth from the regime today.
People have, and will continue to have, complex feelings or outright rejection of many specific examples within leftist thought. This, I see, as a very healthy and beneficial thing. I don't know that that will eclipse the inertia though, because you increasingly have a younger generation who has personal, first-hand relationships with diverse people whereas older generations, including many people on this forum, much more easily engage in hostile rhetoric because their primary exposure is online.
