Politically correct, kind of.

Social justice was definitely used without the "warrior" part though.

No, but only because the right can't come up with anything original.

Were any of those really "co-opted". They were all exclusively used for derision long before the pearl clutchers got to them. The talking heads just really ran away with woke recently.

I mean, by and large there's nothing the far has that's valuable, but some of these are much more applicable to the Democratic party:

Party of Law and Order
Support our troops
God and morality issues
