Having rejected the Democrats’ progressivist dogma, the American electorate is undergoing a social and demographic revolution.
In late November, a California judge rejected a demand by several women’s volleyball teams to disqualify a transgender player for San Jose State before this year’s tournament. Six opponents have forfeited games against the team this year rather than collude in what they see as cheating. The larger question of transgender athletes in college sports will be decided later, but the judge is defending a lost cause. Fewer than a quarter of Americans (23 per cent) support allowing transgender athletes to play on women’s teams. Teams that do field trans athletes are sometimes booed off the pitch. Such feelings go a long way towards explaining Donald Trump’s resounding win in November’s presidential elections.
Washingtonians are often asked what it feels like to watch the second age of Trump dawn. Oddly, it does not feel much like his first arrival in 2016. It feels more like Barack Obama’s in 2008 or Bill Clinton’s in 1992 – less a political than a social revolution, in which philosophical habits will be broken along with political hierarchies. This particular social revolution owes most of its energy to a revulsion against woke. That is the source of the new era’s promise and danger.
Trump left office only four years ago. Washington rejected him – somatically, as in a botched organ transplant.

Hostile neighbours on Tennyson Street hung rainbow flags in front of the house where his vice-president Mike Pence was staying .... The day after the inauguration in 2017, over 200,000 women, decked out in “pussyhats” and led by establishment celebrities from Scarlett Johansson to Emma Watson, descended on the Mall...

The country no longer wants the establishment’s advice on its choice of president. Democrats can blame their own spite. Not content to defeat Trump at the ballot box, as they had in 2020, they set out to defeat him in the courts, lending their support to a number of court cases as election season heated up. They wound up doing grievous harm to their party and country.
Great article.
I work in academia and I’m surprised theres was not the emoting about Trump i was expecting based on the crap i heard during his first term. The election response was like they were relieved
dammed autocorrect...
“anti-woke” = NORMAL
👍
I wonder if the anti-woke effect will include a shift in attitudes against the global warming BS. I have a feeling it might.
The good news is Trump will eliminate this rainbow tranny crap.
LOL
that was perfect
That was a truly good read.
Thank you.
