It's incredible to witness how dramatic the atmosphere is as Trump's 2nd inauguration approaches. If Trump 1.0 led to The Resistance, then Trump 2.0 is leading to the Acquiescence — or really, the Liberation. There's a collective cultural sigh of relief. Mark Zuckerberg has announced that Meta is junking its fact checkers and rolling back censorship. McDonalds, Walmart, and Boeing are getting rid of their DEI programs. And now, Starbucks brought back its policy requiring people to be paying customers to use the bathroom or loiter in the building — a policy they got rid of during the Great Awokening on the ridiculous grounds it was "racist." Suddenly, it's okay to enforce the law again. Gavin Newsom is even vowing the throw the book at looters in California. Wokeism, it turns out, had a glass jaw. Hit it firmly and it shatters. Why? Because not only is it a corrosive cancer in every company, institution, or country where it takes root, but most people secretly hate it. They just needed leaders to take a stand, break the spell, and show the woke for what they really are: Cowardly, resentful, meanspirited parasites. Many people played a role, but Donald Trump led the way. The malaise of the past decade is dissipating and America is ascendant once more. Thank God.
