Are we truly done with the era of "wokeness"? Some people think so, especially after certain election results. They believe we've moved past the days of endless debates about topics like whether women can have penises, or if being fat is healthy. But is it really that simple?
Many institutions, from universities to media outlets, still seem to be heavily influenced by these ideas. Pronouns in email signatures and diversity initiatives are slowly fading, but it's not clear if this is a permanent change. Some people still care deeply about these issues and won't give up easily.
On the other hand, there are signs that things might be shifting. Some Democratic leaders are struggling, and certain states are passing laws that go against the "woke" agenda. But change takes time, and it's not clear yet if these are just bumps in the road or real steps towards a different future.
In the end, it might come down to what people think is cool and trendy. If enough people decide that "wokeness" is old news, it could fade away quickly. But for now, it's still a big part of many people's lives and thoughts.
