Rolling back Woke would be Trump’s greatest gift
Normal America has spoken

The mainstream media had been leaning towards a Kamala Harris victory, predicting “an extremely close race” and were wrong on both counts. But that was no surprise. Known for their overt pro-Democratic bias, this was the third consecutive election where expected voter support for Donald Trump had been undercounted.
The truly surprising, eye-opening development was the huge disparity between the “extremely close” pre-election survey results and Trump’s actual 312-226 landslide. Apparently many poll participants were reluctant to give their true opinions in public and felt free to bare their political souls only in the privacy of the voting booth. This is probably the first election to produce such a clear-cut anti-Woke backlash.
Although it wasn’t called that back then, the Clinton/Obama era had laid the groundwork for the Woke/Gender ideology which step by step has infiltrated and begun taking over America’s principal institutions – government, conspirators, media, academia and schools as well as the highly influential advertising and entertainment industries. That may have given Democrats the false impression that their default ideology had already triumphed.
True, as a result of years of intimidation, many people concerned about their families, homes and careers let the powers that be pressure, shame and blackmail them into playing ball – a far cry from heartfelt conviction. Trump’s staggering victory had finally brought their true feelings to he fore. Most Americans believe there are only two genders – male and female – not 72 or 84. They oppose pro-Gender activists fast-forwarding kindergartners to puberty, thereby robbing them of their innocent childhood.
They resent it when the normal, binary, non-dysfunctional family is derisively branded as “patriarchal” and the normal Caucasian hetero male is marginalized as a “white supremacist.” In a word, they reject “newspeak,” “censorship,” “cancel culture” and the other totalitarian ruses peddled by the Woke/Gender camp. Instead, they look forward to a normal society where ordinary, average Americans can feel at home.
After Harris’ humiliating defeat became official, Democrat leadership plunked headlong into the blame game, but again they missed the boat. She lost because she had entered the race too late in the game, was widely associated with the unpopular Biden, insufficiently focused on economic issues, her campaign was poorly managed and the “Elon Musk effect” also took its toll.
They apparently believed their own propaganda that criticizing or questioning the “wisdom” of Woke was unthinkable. At this point, it is hard to predict whether four years will suffice to undo the harm caused to American families and society in general by the Democrats’ hard-left default ideology. But rolling back Woke would be the greatest gift Trump could give America.
