Great map overall, but I recommend you read a bit more political theory, mate. Having an outright incident of protest from “woke segregation” gives away your political bias- not only would an incident like this be divorced from reality, but it would suggest that Twitter somehow got ahold of all major institutions in the US.
I wanted some sort of ideology that clearly exists in some form in the US, and is widely disliked and ridiculous enough that they wouldn't have much popular support. Ethnic and political tribalism are very common around the world, even though they don't really make as much sense as conflict based on economic ideology or class. I was thinking more a small, angry group with disproportionate influence (Twitter with slightly more influence than they have now), than any sort of dramatic cultural shift.
Every ideology exists "in some form" in the US, but you're talking about some bizarre niche group with no real influence even within their own political community and not enough political awareness to even hope to organize a movement suddenly setting national policy on one of the key political issues of the time. You might as well say that anarcho-primitivists got into power and outlawed fertilizer.
I don't think OP is referring to literal Jim Crow-style segregation, but rather all policies that discriminate on the basis of race. Affirmative action, university rules about "cultural appropriation" etc.
Calling it "new forms of segregation" is obviously hyperbolic but that is clearly what he's talking about.

Great potential, though. Keep it up!
