Trump wasn’t a result of wokeness specifically, he’s just the logical conclusion to American neoliberalism.
I guess you’re right in the sense that the unique tornado of “ITS HER TURN” brainworms is what made the dems vulnerable to an oaf like Trump, but if it hadn’t been him and her then it would have been two other doofuses. When you have a state in deterioration, and a left that has been completely silenced so the only place critique of the system can come from is the far right, then you get a demagogue like Trump was in his first term. Had Bernie gotten the nomination then Trump would probably have been squashed, since the democrats would have been able to likewise acknowledge the system is flawed.
Bernie could have been FDR 2.0 in that he would have put a band-aid on capitalism and soothed the disenfranchised.
