Probably a matter of context, you guys don't live here in a constant media shadow of Fox News and right-wing radio. Silverstein was reacting to the endless segments for hours on end where lots of (not all) conservatives attack and vilify people on the left for being woke. It's Ron DeSantis's entire premise for government: "Florida, where woke goes to die".
Yes, of course, plenty of people on the left feel lots of woke thinking is dumb, counterproductive, hurtful. No one is challenging that. But people on the left tend not to attack and vilify "the woke" -- they disagree and either keep quiet or try to have reasonable discussion about it -- whereas lots of people on the far right do use it as a means of attack all the time.
