The right wing has an insidious tendency to adopt whatever current term is in vogue, throw negative spin on it, and then regurgitate it back to their slavering mongrel hordes.
Let's say you write articles about CRT for a decade. Then the shits learn about it, distort it, propagandize it, and then point to your work and say "see! They have been talking about it for a decade!"
It's their go-to move. They are generally not clever enough to come up with their own slogans so they co-opt them and make them sound bad. "Woke" has a decades long history. It means aware. Like "be aware (woke) to the fact that this town isn't safe after sunset." It got popular on the internet and rather than make a counter argument they just howled about how bad it is using your terminology.
Think of it like fascist art. It's derivative. It's generally also bad. Then some dude like Picasso does something new like cubism and all the nazis could say was "yo this is bad." Meanwhile Hitler couldn't paint a 3 point perspective of some dumbass building to save his life. "This is great!"
Conservative thought generally does not lend itself to creativity. Their whole ubermensch thing they stole from misinterpreted works of Nietsche. Again, not creative, just distortion. Why do you think the current batch of theocrat fascists love the damn Bible so much? It's a big old book that they can point to and say "see, it's old and it means what we say it does! Legitimacy achieved!"
If they do it every time there has to be a way to counter it. We simply haven't seen it yet because we have a bunch of venal liberals in charge of that part...

I honestly don't know how to counter it properly but I do think my diagnosis is correct so smarter people might be able to figure it out from here
