Part of my issue with your article is its lack of historical understanding of present trends in conservative thought. This is drawn, not from "woke" or "anti-woke" responses to the 2010s, it stems from much earlier beliefs. Your anatomy of "decline" actually draws not from the recent "rapid social changes," but from a string of thought dating to the 19th century, possibly earlier, where scientists, politicians, and religious figures argued that society was "declining." In earlier arguments, this centered on racial intermarriage, but later expanded during the first and second red scares in which politicians and eugenicists argued that those who were social and political outcasts should be either evicted from the country or left destitute (later) or forcibly sterilized (earlier). Decline took on a substantial virulence in the Second Red Scare, where "sex perverts," communists, and other "moral degenerates" were purged from employment lists. This provided ammunition for the rise of the New Right, a classical liberal economic and political ideology which seized control of both the Democrat and Republican parties. From this, we have continued to the "anti-woke" movement (whatever that means). This cultural authoritarianism has been strengthening since the rise of the modern security state, now the modern surveillance state. Rather than being a mere response to "radical" or "woke" voices, the cultural authoritarianism you describe is actually much older. In fact, voices on what you term the "far left" (which outside of the United States is typically center or center-right) should be seen as responses to the much earlier movement toward repression and authoritarianism.
