The problem is that even if you do appropriate that hideous 'trans flag', that does not damage their ideology. They just switch to another and continue right on.
Creating a symbolic identity takes time OR a large scale panic to speed up the process (BLM riots for example). It's not trivial otherwise to ask your entire user base to change and adopt the new symbols and lexicon. Each cycle of change further dilute the made up identity because not everyone will adopt it and people will grow tired of it. This is how the damage to the ideology is made. As the symbols keep diversifying and lose their meaning, they also lose their rallying power. And the thing is, we don't need every conservative to adopt the symbols to make this work, only a recognizable minority but THEY, the wokies, need as many people as possible to stand under the same symbols.
Think about the profile pic filters as an example of this in action. Every leftist has their feel good filter when a large scale event occur like the Ukraine invasion but a much smaller percentage of people will change their pic for smaller events. This is the attention gap we'd abuse.
Also, I talked about individuals but it's even harder for corporations and organizationsn to adopt new symbols. BUT, theyd drop the old ones in an instant IF the trans flag could mean an association to "far right" beliefs. Not doing otherwise is an invitation for larger critique which we know they hate. Actually, that's probably the greatest effect of this idea. By losing corpo support, we deal one hell of a blow to woke ideology

Interesting, and yours is the kind of creativity that we need, but I don't think it would actually work.
