The Left has finally admitted that woke was crazy. Except it has admitted nothing. When Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently laughed and said, “Woke 1 was crazy,” we were supposed to believe the movement had come to its senses.
Apparently, Woke 1.0 was the radical, identity-obsessed insanity of 2020, while Woke 2.0 is a mature movement focused on affordability and working people.
What complete and utter bulls**t.
There is no Woke 1.0 and Woke 2.0. There is woke before the polls came in and woke after. Woke with a bullhorn and woke with a pollster. Woke with its tweets posted and woke after its consultants said to delete them.
The people, beliefs and goals have not changed. They simply discovered that Americans were listening and overwhelmingly rejected them.
Look at Wisconsin socialist Francesca Hong. Hong called Thanksgiving a “colonizer holiday” and said it should have been canceled in 1621. She supported abolishing the police, prisons, ICE and the United States Senate. Then she ran for governor. Suddenly, Thanksgiving became her “favorite holiday.” That is not evolution. She just got caught.
Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed reportedly scrubbed more than 100 old videos criticizing Fourth of July fireworks, questioning football and suggesting the Second Amendment be replaced with a constitutional right to healthcare. Now he is challenging his Republican opponent to a tackle football game. You just cannot make this up.
