Is there a ‘woke right’?
The biggest names in conservative media debate the existence of wokeness on the right.

“guardrails” again.The question now dividing the biggest names in conservative media is whether the second Trump term will unleash a “woke right,” driven by a similar focus on power, grievance and aggressive online attacks.
Confrontations erupted in recent weeks between influencers on the right, including Jordan Peterson, Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson and Ben Shapiro — previously united in their support for Trump — debating where to draw the line within MAGA around topics like Israel and tactics like social media mobbing.
Some independent media personalities, including Matt Walsh, Tim Pool and Jack Posobiec, framed the schism as just another move by the Republican establishment to box out independent populist thinkers.
But some of the biggest conservative critics of “wokeness,” including Peterson and James Lindsay, insisted that without guardrails American conservatism could be hijacked by those with its worst impulses, leading the anti-woke right to fall prey to the same vices it once condemned.
