Editor,
It seems that every day I read a report concerning another American citizen who has been fired, silenced, humiliated, socially ostracized, cancelled or otherwise punished for daring to oppose the ideology of “wokeness” that exerts such influence in education, the entertainment industry, sports, journalism, corporate America and government.
Let’s face it, the civil rights movement has been replaced by absurd identity politics and many of us have been dumbed down by the internet and intentionally been made more insecure, angry and hateful by social media, so we put up with being placed in categories and being judged by how we look rather than who we are.
The mobs who spent the summer tearing down statues of the men who wrote our constitution were sending us a rather unambiguous message, weren’t they? It’s not about slavery, it’s about tearing up the Bill of Rights.
First they come for Trump fans, next they come for independents like me, then they come for traditional liberals, then it’s too late to resist.
History really does repeat itself.

Take it from a pro Cory. The best way to fight these woke, cancel culture creatures is to stand your ground and don't back down an inch. They expect you to wilt like a hot house flower under their name calling and pressure, but if you do, they will take you out. I have found the best way to combat wokeness is to not swear when expressing yourself or to act violent, the key is to not cower under the blitz of indignation they hurl upon you. Stand strong in your place and watch them fall like the paper Tigers they all are. Trust me, I have a lot of experience in the matter.
A pro? Thanks for the laugh!
Well written, Cory. These “wokeness” idiots, unfortunately, have willing lemmings in the form of social media giants and the lamestream media to spread their idiocy and hypocrisy. Fortunately, more and more people are ignoring these lemmings and their brand of lunacy.
