The devastating consequences of what left-wing extremists proudly called 'The Great Awokening' are becoming crystal clear as President Trump works to repair the massive damage inflicted on America's institutions over the past seven years.
In 2019, radical leftist Matthew Yglesias - co-founder of the far-left propaganda outlet Vox - boasted about a "hidden shift revolutionizing American racial politics" that would "transform the future of the Democratic Party." What he was really describing was the systematic destruction of merit-based systems, free speech, and colorblind equality that built the greatest nation on Earth.
The results speak for themselves: woke ideology infected our military, turning warrior training into pronoun seminars. Our schools became indoctrination centers teaching children to hate America and judge people by skin color. Corporate boardrooms embraced racist DEI quotas while small businesses were lectured about "systemic oppression."
Trump Administration Leads the Counter-Revolution
Thankfully, President Trump and his team are dismantling this anti-American agenda piece by piece. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is purging woke nonsense from our military. Education reforms are returning focus to actual learning instead of radical gender theory. And the EPA under Lee Zeldin is ending climate extremism that hurt working families.
"The Great Awokening was really the Great Awakening of how much the left hates traditional American values," said one senior administration official. "We're not just reversing their policies - we're rebuilding the merit-based society they tried to destroy."
But let's be honest, patriots: the damage runs deep. An entire generation was taught to see racism everywhere, to embrace victimhood over achievement, and to reject the very principles that made America exceptional. Universities became re-education camps. Corporate America genuflected to Black Lives Matter. Even our military academies prioritized "diversity" over defending the homeland.
The question isn't whether we can undo this damage - President Trump has already proven we can. The question is: will we stay vigilant enough to prevent the next "Great Awokening" from poisoning our children's minds?
