In fact….
Woke terror — the U.S. version of China’s Great Cultural Revolution of the 1960s and early ‘70s — became a thing in ‘18, and it absolutely ruled the culture until it started to ebb in the middle of last year.
The first indication that the culture had said “enough!”…the blessed event that told me the tectonic plates had shifted…was when Lily Gladstone didn’t win the Best Actress Oscar during the 96th Academy Awards.
Woke terror hasn’t been fully eradicated as we speak but at least it’s been losing its grip, thank God. Six and a half years of twisted insanity! And you know why it’s taken as long as this for the string to run out? One reason is people like Bobby Peru saying “there IS no woke terror….its all in your head.”
