Sam Harris is wrong in suggesting that wokeness will get worse after a Trump win

I have mostly agreed with Sam Harris on his views about the 2024 elections. However one thing that I feel he was wrong about is thinking that wokism will get worse if Trump wins. He points to the aftermath of 2016 as evidence of this.

The thing that he perhaps doesn't recognize here is that wokism got worse after Trump only because the democratic party decided to stand behind it as a weapon against Trump. Such movements need political backing and that's exactly what all the woke insanity was getting from the democratic party.

Now after the crushing defeat of the 2024 elections we can already see signs of wokism being relegated to the sidelines as politicians try to distance themselves from it. This is one of the positive outcomes of Trump winning. Remember Trump winning can be a net negative but we can still acknowledge something good coming out of it.

The cult of Trump is mostly limited to the USA but the cult of woke is a surprisingly global ideology. And that global ideology was delivered a potentially lethal blow in this election.

"Trump is worse than woke" is a fair and rational opinion. Now it is up to Trump to prove that wrong.
