Virtue signaling doesn't exist. It is not a Thing. It is a conservative created comeback to divert, change the subject, and/or mock progressive efforts. Also in this same category are: SJW, woke, cancel culture, and political correctness. They have no real meaning and are therefore perfect for use by MAGAs. Progressives should not be using any of these words and phrases.

Woke, SJW, and political correctness terms originated in so-called left wing politics, then used by the right as pejoratives. Not sure about "cancel culture." They are a thing, and do have meaning. A lot of this stuff going on today is not progressivism, definitely not liberalism which was the ideology behind individual liberty, democracy, and capitalism; it's an attempt to replace individual rights with group or identity rights.
