put aside their differences for the sake of achieving a common goal
I wonder if he's tapping into something kinda true here. Like, if the American conservative movement didn't have a group of people to label "Woke" (21st century neologism, compare to 20th century neologism "hippie"), what would they be? What would they stand for? They don't really have a common ideal beyond, "Bad people go away". They'd fracture and start fighting amongst themselves. I mean, it's a group that includes everyone from fundamentalist evangelicals to crypto-hyping libertarians. For as much as the left fights amongst itself, there's still a broader understanding that a better world is possible, that the pile of things we agree on is larger than pile we disagree over.
lol
