Whatever the more complex truth of the matter, it’s in our interest to promote the trope that woke is over. That woke has been vanquished. That woke is totally yesterday, hopelessly stale and played out. That the rest of us are moving on to genuinely thorny questions that aren’t stupid. That we’ll no longer waste our time pushing back against petty amateur linguists who insist we call the portly “people living with obesity.”
That, whatever our private reservations about the guy, Trump’s election marks a hard Before and After. That as Kamala would say, we’ve “turned the page” and “we’re not going back.”
Is that an echo?
Because when you say something enough times (this is a gambit the wokesters themselves have mastered) you can make it true. Wokesters are highly suggestible. Furthermore, most of these folks don’t really care about social justice. They care about appearing to care about social justice. They care about other people’s esteem. They care about fitting in.
They echo what everyone else around them says, because being a mindless copycat means other mindless copycats will like them and they’ll keep their friends and their jobs. And they care about social fashion.
So they won’t spout lingo like “cisgender” if that might risk an eye-roll at parties. They won’t want to seem behind the times. If we convince them that woke is over, that their BLM lawn signs are passé, that maundering about “white privilege” is boring and old hat, they’ll drop the whole patriarchy/neurodiversity/heteronormativity et al package in a New York minute.
We just have to persuade them that woke is unhip. Which it always has been, but some people are slow.

I have a former colleague that went to work for a competitor at a Big 4 consulting firm. She became DEI grifter queen over there and DEI was written all over her Linked In page for years. A few weeks after the election not a single mention of DEI on her Linked in; been totally scrubbed.
It’s time to turn back to God not turn our backs on God.
We need to repent and pray for a spiritual awakening in America. It is our only hope.

AMEN. I couldn’t agree more.
Good riddance.
“A few weeks after the election not a single mention of DEI on her Linked in; been totally scrubbed.”
Somebody needs to tell her there is something called the “Wayback Machine” that archived all her old Link in profiles”.
That web site is a “must have” for anyone hiring or interviewing applicants for any job.
Lesson learned: If people didn’t vote democrat Woke would have
never happened nor the transgender movement
and many other dangerous things.
Not dead yet
Just resting up
Its amazing our side thnks its dead because of one win
Why we incrementally keep losing
They are ever vigilant, we are never vigilant
Not true
Woke is just socialism
NGOs would push the agenda like they’ve done on so many others.
XX and XY restrooms.
It is FAR from dead. Maybe 10% of it has been undone, but not much more.
“Woke is dead — let’s make sure it never comes back”
The Democratic Party is dead — let’s make sure it never comes back
There, fixed it
They are ever vigilant, we are never vigilant
\/
this.
they mean us and our Republic harm and elimination
they are terminators
never give them the benefit of the doubt
never take your eyes off them
never cooperate with them
at all
with anything
quit being nice to the domestic enemies or their supporters
fight
fight
fight
Woke is just socialism
What the hell do you think the democrat party is about?.
Same as for NGOs mask.
Lobbyists smile $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
True. Costco’s board of directors sent out a letter to all stockholders URGING them to vote in support of DEI policies of the company. Their board and CEO refuse to let wokeness DIE.
Woke is far from dead.
But its glory days have passed.
Just as atheism is not dead.
But its glory days have passed.
Just like domestic communism, it ain’t dead.
Rumors of woke's death have been greatly exagerrated?
Yes the dems are socialist
You aren’t telling me anything I don’t know
What I meant was even if they couldn’t get dem politicians in where they are, they’d still use NGO groups to work for their political goals
Because that is what they do
