The wokes are on the verge of an inevitable collapse, refusing 
to pivot and desperately trying to hold onto what gave them a 
means of influence.

The vulnerability of the social justice takeover began to appear 
last fall when its participants failed to cancel Dave Chappelle 
for the crime of performing comedy. At the time, it was the most 
notable failed cancellation effort to date. Chappelle’s survival 
proved that the progressive vultures are incredibly weak, so 
long as companies and individuals do not cave into submission.

Though they looked mighty in stature, the woke Left never quite 
captured the support of the country. Most Americans never liked 
them. It only seemed that way because they had so successfully 
taken over our most influential institutions — the media, tech, 
Hollywood, sports, and academia — and thereby controlled public 
messaging. Today, we see that the rest of the country is finally 
fighting back.

And they are winning. Here are some developments just in the 
past week:

Past week:
— Elon Musk bought Twitter
— Shaun King deleted Twitter
— Jon Stewart found out nobody likes his show
— CNN+ died
— Rogan announced 2M new subscribers
— Jemele Hill failed again
—Bomani failed again
—Judge struck down travel mask mandate
—Spotify dropped Michelle Obama

What has changed?

Radicalized institutions have become a net negative for 
progressives. The Left is losing influence over the consensus 
conversation because even moderates have begun to resent their 
abuse of power.

Americans have notably revolted against the corporate press, the 
most effective source of messaging. Journalists and anchors can 
no longer turn Americans against one another because Americans, 
by and large, have turned on them.

Last week epitomized the fall of legacy media when a so-called 
“journalist” named Taylor Lorenz sought to destroy the creator 
of the Libs of TikTok Twitter account, an account that merely 
reposts videos that goofy liberals have already published of 
themselves. For the sin of sharing public content, Lorenz tried 
to destroy the Libs of TikTok creator and her family. Yet in a 
plot twist everyone except Lorenz saw coming, Lorenz 
accidentally helped grow the Libs of TikTok account to more than 
one million Twitter followers. She also exposed herself as a 
disturbed sociopath in the process. Who knew?

The Libs of TikTok/Lorenz story followed a similar trajectory to 
the politically-motivated witch hunt waged against Joe Rogan, 
which, according to Rogan, grew his podcast by two million 
subscribers.

“It’s interesting, my subscriptions went up massively — that’s 
what’s crazy. During the height of it all,” Rogan said last week.

Meanwhile, CNN, the primary outlet that tried to ruin Rogan’s 
life, couldn’t keep a $300 million streaming service on air for 
more than three weeks.

This is the state of the cultural divide: character assassins 
who have set out to expose their enemies have ultimately exposed 
themselves. When you point one finger at someone else…

This explains why politicians and activists are in an 
apocalyptic freakout over Elon 'Iron Man' Musk purchasing 
Twitter in an effort to restore free speech on the internet. 
Because the pro-censorship crowd never had a large or skilled 
enough army to hold off challengers, they’ve had to rely on 
censorship to fortify against the competition.

And Twitter had long been their greatest weapon. The verified 
crowd, with an assist from Big Tech overlords, was able to drown 
out dissenting voices in an effort to penalize wrongthink. They 
managed to normalize even the most asinine talking points, 
including that COVID originated from an exotic wet market and 
that men can give birth, because the gatekeepers disallowed the 
opposition to challenge them.

Then, Musk bought Twitter and disrupted the entire strategy.

“Free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy, and 
Twitter is the digital town square where matters vital to the 
future of humanity are debated,” Musk said in a press release on 
Monday. “I also want to make Twitter better than ever by 
enhancing the product with new features, making the algorithms 
open source to increase trust, defeating the spam bots, and 
authenticating all humans. Twitter has tremendous potential — I 
look forward to working with the company and the community of 
users to unlock it.”

If Musk unlocks Twitter as promised, the “politically correct” 
will lose their last remaining tool of influence. If suppression 
of free speech is their final gasp for air, Musk just stepped on 
their throats.

So the advantage in the culture war is shifting quickly. 
Previously dispirited Americans now see how fragile these paper 
tigers have always been.

It’s unfortunate that it took years of online smear campaigns, 
the installment of CRT training programs across the country, and 
social media companies interfering with the 2020 presidential 
election for the pendulum to swing. The weak can only win when 
you willingly play by their rules, and we willingly played by 
their rules for far too long.

At this point, the far Left may completely self-destruct because 
when ideology becomes a religion, its adherents never know when 
to stop. Now many are literally paying for it. The devout 
believers at Disney (Groomers) have just lost special tax and 
land privileges because they so desperately want to preserve the 
demonic anti-sacrament of grooming schoolchildren. Public school 
officials in Virginia suffered a similar fate last November when 
their infatuation with skin color cost Democrats executive and 
legislative elections in the commonwealth.

This entire campaign has always had an expiration date. Its 
existence was never to create a more equal society but to 
advance the social status of corporate and political leaders and 
to defeat the opposition. Wokeism has never bettered anyone. In 
fact, it has fractured families, communities, companies, and 
institutions across this country. Some may never recover.

But neither will the woke Left. Their stranglehold on public 
messaging has weakened. It is now a losing strategy.
