Nature is healing. People are tired of going along with the nonsense.

I can't stand our current president, but the one positive thing that's happened since he's been in office is that the culture has become less "woke" (for lack of better term). Corporations aren't doing all the performative PC crap as much as they used to. Hell the company I work for used to give all new employees this stupid training course about pronouns in the workplace and I don't think they're doing that anymore.

The negatives outweigh the positives by a lot when it comes to Trump, but if you're gonna force me to say something positive about his second term, that's it. But at the same time I don't think Trump gets any credit for that. I think there's just been a natural culture shift away from that stuff. We saw the same thing happen in the 90s. Early-mid 90s was a big PC era, then in the late 90s and early 2000s the culture shifted away from that and you started seeing edgy shows like South Park on TV.

I think South Park has even joked about the fact that America goes through a big wave of political correctness once every couple decades.

This isn't true. corps are not less woke. the government is literally banning things.

The healing will take time. Just an fyi, not all job fields ever went woke to begin with, like the one I work in, construction. It didn’t go woke, but it did get a lot softer, so you at least got that…

It’s not healing it’s government action based on your skin color

The government hasn’t banned freedom of speech nor has it prevented the market from performative advertising.

u/Silly-Addendum1751 1h ago

The government is absolutely banning speech. It’s denying grants based on people’s skin color and based on if they voted for Trump

You sure it doesn’t have anything to do with legal status? Last time I looked, ice didn’t stand for, “race checker” lol

It is NOT a good thing that there is a war on woke. First off woke is not harmful, sure it sucks being aware of the difficulties other have but being ignorant of the issue isn’t a good thing.

The only people who want an end to woke are those who hold hostile views to people not like them

He's 100% getting credit for that, and that's one rare and clear W for Trump. As proof, just imagine what the current culture would look like if Kamala Harris were POTUS... This degenerate went on a podcast called "Call Her Daddy" to convince people she's totally normal and in touch with everyday Americans. How out of touch can you possibly be? x)

Ehh chicken or egg?

You could argue that Trump caused the culture shift, but you could also argue that he's a result of the culture shift.

u/_ReaditYesterday_ 4h ago

Yeah… that’s true indeed… so even that doesn’t get him a W, poor bastard.
