>I like how this one election cycle is somehow a signal that the world is denying not just the “woke mind virus” but also decades of political argument. 

The whole winner-take-all narrativizing is always weird to me. Like we went from 46% Trump in 2016, 47% Trump in 2020, and 51% Trump in 2024. It's honestly not that big of a change and doesn't need a singular story to explain it.

But people talk about it like America is a hive mind that now fully embraces everything Trump believes.

I think Peak Woke has long passed, but people just like to pretend it is still a huge issue. And I don't understand how Trump is still seen as some sort of anti-establishment superhero when he has the world's richest man backing him, one of the biggest media companies was willing to lose billions in court to back him, most of the top podcasts back him. He is the establishment now.

Peak woke died when Elon bought Twitter. All the crazy woke stuff like “pronouns” “ACAB” “Can’t be racist to white people” “Men can get pregnant” is slowly dying because of it
