I don't see it, and in fact, I'd say that that whole thing serves as a good example of my point. The whole "SJW" thing hasn't even been around for that long, and already there's a growing movement of people who are at least as vocal about being persecuted by the SJWs as the SJWs ever were about being persecuted by the patriarchy.
And I think that's likely to be the case no matter what the group might be. For every group with which the politicians might curry favor, there's another group that's already primed to get all righteously indignant about it. IMO, the politicians and their media cronies have deliberately set about dividing the American people against themselves in any number of overlapping interest groups, and have succeeded all too well. That serves the purpose of preventing the people from uniting against their real enemies - the power/money elite - but it prevents the power/money elite from being able to effectively enlist the support of any notable number of people against the rest, simply because every notable group of people already has a dedicated group of opponents.

I agree. The SJW thing is just the current distraction of the week, so to speak.
It'll collapse soon enough.
