You could reasonably say that Trump was the first prominent anti-woke warrior, but he did it with his mouth, not his pen; other than picking reactionary Supreme Court justices, he didn’t actually do much to help the cause. Red state governors and legislatures have subsequently taken practical action in the form of new legislation and regulations to muzzle and oppress the left. What should we expect from Trump 2.0? Will the war on wokeness be extended by the federal government to blue states?
Transgender people didn’t remove Trump from power, and his first priority will be revenge, so it is unlikely that wokeness issues will be at the top of his to-do list. It is virtually certain, however, that his appointees will be ready to pick up the torch and fight wokeness from the minute they take office. In particular, you can expect a federal war on our elite universities. As I’ve noted before, they cannot be “reformed,” but they can be damaged or even destroyed, much to the nation’s detriment.
