On whether idpol is truly good or bad for the working class:
Possibly, depending on how the Left or Liberal 2.0ers responds. The ore accuate answer, which is beyond the scope of this answer, is that there is not a lot of ground for optimism.
This is because, the link between the working class and the Left and or proto Liberal 2.0ers was destroyed under neoliberalism, and it was in fact the post-Marxist left which invented this idpol in the first place.
Idpol can be seen as alright because it makes the elite look like absolutely weak and messed up clowns in the eyes of the common man/common woman.
By some margin, the working class is either hostile or grudgingly indifferent towards idpol and everything that's associated with it.
Idpol is the ideology of wealthy white America (or to Liberal 2.0ers at least the "right type of white people"). Furthermore, it doesn't just make them look foolish - it actually leads to the moral degeneration of the ruling class because they get high on their own supply.
Good luck applying the woke theories that you learned at Bowdoin to the task of containing China or putting down a popular uprising, cretins -- you can't even handle "twitter abuse" for heaven’s sake!
The very idea of Hillary Clinton attempting to run to Bernie's left on "racial and gender justice" sounds like something out of a comedy film. This farce has since turned macabre.
At the same time, idpol is bad because it involves the ruling class conscripting minorities as a human shield.
This is how you get 45: people gravitated toward him because he "owned the Liberal 2.0ers." And to own these Liberal 2.0ers you have get more unpc or even extreme, because the Liberal 2.0ers have made ostentatious anti-bigotry their number one plank.
This is also how you get Joe Biden, with voters religiously supporting trash Democrats to "own the racists." The ruling class is fine with both scenarios - they are victorious either way.
This is the political payload of idpol: to bait the working class into supporting the class enemy while also cementing an alliance between the ruling class, the Liberal 2.0 upper middle class, and members of "diverse communities."
This situation presents an easy opportunity for you Democrats to gain mainstream support by combining popular economic demands with a rejection of unpopular idpol. Picture this: in a climate where politics is dominated by crazy cultural stances, the Democrat party transforming into a Marxist party you become politically "moderate" by rejecting woke nonsense.
Obviously, there's no such party at this moment. You Democrats have not been too keen to score this open goal. But perhaps before this window of opportunity shuts, someone could yet be able to rise up and say: "there is such a party!...the DEMOCRAT PARTY!!!!"
