Absolute rubbish.

Wokeness was soundly beaten in 2020. The RINO-controlled state legislatures turned a blind eye to the cheating so they could get rid of Trump, and their hatred was so intense that they were willing to allow 3 Senate seats to fall to the Democrats (2 in GA and 1 in MI) because to investigate the fraud in the Senate races would have exposed the same fraud against Trump. So the presidency and Senate were lost because of RINO-controlled state legislatures, along with a subsequent SCOTUS nomination that should have been made by Trump.

This idea that wokeness is popular is a false narrative.

Corporations going woke is them trying to shape opinion by controlling a narrative that wokeness is common.

This is no different than modern-day "pollsters" who just publish opinion-shaping surveys, rather than reflecting what the public really thinks.

The author agrees with that point. However, he points out that by now, the entire administrative panoply of all institutions, including government, has incorporated and normalized wokeness. Therefore, we have a way to go to eradicate it from law and policy.

Sure. Not popular but that’s a false standard. But they are in charge.. destroying lives and civilization.

How much more encouraged and successful can they feel and be?

Nowhere in the essay does he claim that wokeness was ever popular in general. The only claim is that it was/is popular with the elites who run our major institutions.

The good news appears to be that an increasing percentage of the liberal elites are tiring of wokeness.

The bad news is that when wokeness was in vogue certain policies were put in place that everyone in those institutions still has to follow for fear of getting expelled or fired from those institutions.

So wokeness will be with us for quite some time even if the majority of Americans were never woke.

After all, the majority of Americans voted for Trump and yet Biden is still president... or at least his handlers are.
