What Happened to Wokeness?

In case you hadn’t noticed, wokeness is the dog that isn’t barking in the Trump campaign, which has focused primarily on revenge and illegal immigration. Why?

For two reasons. First, Trump correctly sees that wokeness is too remote from the lives of his base to make much of an impact. Second, the man on golf cart is primarily focused on revenge; to my knowledge, no trans people served on the January 6 committee or attempted to prosecute him.

That doesn’t mean, of course, that fighting wokeness won’t be a priority once Trump takes office. The reactionaries around him will see to that even if he doesn’t care much about it.
