The pushback against wokeness – and what it’s cost us
Dazed ^ | 12/12/24 | Halima Jibril(UK)

Donald Trump’s re-election has been hailed by some as the nail in the coffin for ‘wokeness’, a movement now rejected by both the left and the right. But how did it fall so far out of favour?

When Donald Trump launched his 2024 presidential campaign, he centred his platform on a promise to end “wokeness”. In his campaign video, “Agenda47: President Trump’s Ten Principles for Great Schools Leading to Great Jobs”, the now president-elect declared schools a key battleground to be reclaimed from the left, pledging to ban lessons on gender identity and structural racism in classrooms. Before his election victory, Trump also announced plans to eliminate DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) initiatives on his first day in office. Furthermore, when asked at a woman-only town hall in Cumming, Georgia, about allowing transgender women to participate in women’s sports, he responded firmly: “We’re not going to let it happen.”

Huh Hulima, wokeism is all about looking backward not forward and nothing about merit.

I must have missed the day the left gave up on wokeness.

It’ll be back. They’ll just rename it again. They never give up on anything, they just rename it and double-down.

They only “reject” something when they get caught doing it and realize it looks bad.

The left remains hard core woke.

A brief look at CA news tells the tale:

Woke, feminism, race consciousness, sameness between the sexes, affirmative action, equality of outcome in everything, to the point where cities with large black populations are eliminating jaywalking laws and schools eliminating challenging courses, is part of America’s DNA now and has made the happy, successful, always looking forward and cheering on success Americans, self-conscious, hesitant, subdued in speech and thought, fearful and unconfident, uneasy in every aspect of our public life and social and professional, and business interactions.

America is covered with 2 feet of molasses now, slowing everything down, making everything difficult, everything is hindered and encumbered, there is anchor drag on everything we do now, it is going to take something incredible to overcome this, especially since about half of our population is made up now of people who aren’t like the Americans of the first 200 years, we need an American Christian revival to sweep the nation, the most resistant force to liberalism that we have seen demonstrated in America in contrast states like California vs Texas, and the South versus the North East and North West, is social conservative Protestant Christianity, the force that shaped America in the first place.

Social conservatism is the foundation of being a conservative, without it, the Democrats, the social liberal GOP, and liberalism under all titles eventually conquers all, as in California.

My best friend who WAS a Steeler fanatic, gave up on football when the NFL went woke.

“They only “reject” something when they get caught doing it and realize it looks bad.”

Then, as you said in #3, they regroup and rename it. Then they go underground with the new name and activity, teach it at universities, flow it down to school districts, and then subversively slip it into school curricula. Rinse and repeat.

Wow, that’s an incredible list of woke insanity in CA. Thanks for collecting those.

It’s never going to stop.

As we know, Trump won the election, defeating Kamala Harris in what he and his supporters have branded a historic landslide (it wasn’t).

It absolutely was, if you take out all of the leftist/democrat vote fraud.

“Woke” is when you embrace lies and call it truth.

Unfortunately, the fraud was counted.
This time it only was enough to affect House & Senate races.

Of course it will. It is an instrument to divide and pit people against one another.

Required for installing communism.

But there’s another active principle here.

I believe they won’t be able to do it again, based on the fact that the primary methods of the system are mind control and manipulation. Otherwise known as deception.

And what happens to a system once people find out they’ve been manipulated by it?
