The issue plays into deep tensions among Americans about the role of race in society and helped supercharge Mr. Trump’s political comeback. Many voters, conservative and not, hoped to see a correction to what they saw as progressive politics gone too far.

Ohhh, yes, definitely, it was non-conservatives who wanted to "correct" the problem of wokeness that got Trump elected. That's clearly the correct message to draw from Harris's oh-so-woke campaign losing. I was worried the NYT's beloved centrism might be implicated in some way.
