The Left Is Beginning To Wake Up From Their “Wokeness”

Liberals may finally have to admit that “woke” doesn’t work.

The left’s embrace of cancel-culture and push toward progressive ideologies that they promote as having “diversity and inclusivity” have crept into almost every aspect of society, including sports and entertainment and even history lessons in the classroom and consumer brands on store shelves.

Recent pushback against so-called “political correctness,” which has forced sports teams, businesses, and films to change their names or censor content, is no longer coming from just the conservatives anymore.

Some of the more liberal voices — such as “Real-Time” host comedian Bill Maher, former New York Times columnist Bari Weiss, and even a self-described socialist Buffalo mayoral candidate — have been fighting against being “woke,” indicating a shift that outside forces may be ready to combat the “woke” agenda.

“We are beginning to see signs of change,” said Atlanta-based marketing and branding expert David Johnson. “The absurdity of cancel culture is becoming more apparent every day and you see signs of it beginning to crack. The backlash is growing and it continues to grow.”

Commentator Jason Whitlock frequently slams the NFL or NBA for being too “woke.” Ben Shapiro blasted the CDC’s plea for “pregnant people” to get vaccinated, in the government agencies bid to be more inclusive of transgender people — despite the fact that only women can be pregnant.

Johnson pointed out, however, that “more traditional liberals,” like Maher, are starting to become “a voice of reason.”

Houston-based GOP political analyst Vlad Davidiuk said the left is starting to realize that it’s “not getting the return on their investment” into “wokeness.”

For instance, India Walton, socialist campaigning to become Buffalo, New York’s next mayor, boasted about not being “that woke” and admitted that slogans like “defund the police” just don’t sit well with “average working-class folks.”
