@evan Yes. It was a close election, and there were many factors that, electorally minor in themselves, might have been enough to swing the election the other way.
To the specific question of "wokeness", there's polling evidence that "latinx" was opposed by Hispanics. Its use was a sign that Ds had grown disconnected from a significant voting bloc, and directly offensive to some.
(The big error of Ds was of course President Biden's not dropping out earlier.)
