Americans should end it now before it ends America first.
Almost everything that has followed from the woke mass hysteria gripping the nation since 2020 has proved disastrous.
Wokeism destroys meritocracy in favor of forced equality of result—history’s prescription for civilizational decline.
If we continue with the woke hiring of administrators, air traffic controllers, ground crews, pilots, and rail workers, there will be even more news of disasters and near-miss airline crashes.
Wokeness demands a McCarthyite suppression of free expression. No wonder a woke FBI recently hired out social media censors to suppress stories it deemed unhelpful.
Soviet-style, wokeism mandates strict ideological party-line narratives under the cover of “science.” No wonder a woke government lied that requiring vaccines would prevent both infection and infectiousness.
Woke substitutes race for class in its eternal neo-Marxist quest to divide permanently the nation along racial lines, between victims and victimizers.
Yet wokeism recently has embarrassed itself as never before.
Take the COVID pandemic.
The Department of Energy has joined the FBI and is now attributing the origins of the pandemic to a leak of a likely engineered virus from the top-security virology lab in Wuhan, China.
Wokesters had long suppressed that reality, demonizing any who rejected its orthodox lies and spoke a larger truth: A dystopic China is not our global partner in greening the planet. Criticizing Stalinist China is not “racist.” China is not building a progressive society that is a model for others.
The ongoing environmental catastrophe in East Palestine, Ohio, following the train derailment revealed more woke moral bankruptcy.
Ostensibly the ensuing toxic spill and noxious plume have poisoned a poor and working-class small town. It should have galvanized the old Democratic Party that once voiced loud support for all green causes and championed the lower American classes.

The woke are just looking for new reasons to be upset. Just ignore them.

The ongoing environmental catastrophe in East Palestine, Ohio, following the train derailment revealed more woke moral bankruptcy.
Ostensibly the ensuing toxic spill and noxious plume have poisoned a poor and working-class small town. It should have galvanized the old Democratic Party that once voiced loud support for all green causes and championed the lower American classes.
But woke ended all that—substituting racial chauvinism for class concerns and ideology for genuine worry over the environment.
Woke dogma mandates that pollution and poverty are no longer concerns—if they affect the white poor who are stereotyped collectively as privileged victimizers.
Wokesters insisted that California is the greatest casualty of “climate change” defined as permanent drought. ...

Woke ideology definitely has a hierarchy. Look at women’s sports right now. Women, conservative and female, fought long and hard for women’s sports. Now that “trans women” are coming into the sport, liberal women are stone silent. Trans trumps gay; gay trumps race; race trumps gender.
The fact that Beetlejuice got defeated is a good omen. Maybe there is a limit to woke incompetence.
You can try to ignore them, but they won’t ignore you. And that’s the problem.
While the still are the party of green, they found it far more lucrative to only cater to Wall Street.
Besides that, I have heard, but not verified, that ecological spills like Palestine Ohio, make it possible to relocate people to 15-minute cities under the U.N 2030 Agenda. Supposedly there is no opting out either.
black lesbians will rule the world
with a few trans black lesbians in the name of equity

The battle with the brain-dead, tyrannical and unhinged ‘woke’ mindset is an existential one. It’s them or us. I say them.
Wokesters had long suppressed that reality, demonizing any who rejected its orthodox lies and spoke a larger truth:
A dystopic China is not our global partner in greening the planet.
Criticizing Stalinist China is not “racist.”
China is not building a progressive society that is a model for others.
Speaking truth to lying wokesters is a good start...
