**Wokism's Resilience: A Challenge for Conservatives Despite Trump’s Victory**
The recent election of Donald Trump has sparked hope among conservatives that the tide of wokism is turning. However, a closer examination reveals a more complex reality that should give pause to any celebratory conclusions.
Nathan Cofnas, a fellow at Cambridge, warns that while Trump’s presidency might be a setback for leftist ideologies, the roots of wokism remain firmly entrenched in our institutions.
Cofnas argues that the left’s commitment to Marxist, socialist, and collectivist ideologies is far from waning. The notion that wokism has peaked is fundamentally flawed. He suggests that social justice warriors are embedded in boardrooms, universities, and government agencies, tirelessly working to institutionalize their narrative.
Trump’s election may have dealt a blow to these ideologies, yet the groundwork laid by the left over several decades shields them from sudden dissolution. The pervasive belief in the "equality thesis" propels many within the establishment to claim that any inequality in outcomes is a result of societal failures, justifying government intervention to impose equality. This outlook inherently threatens our fundamental freedoms, including free speech and free thought.
The social climate created by the COVID-19 pandemic, along with incidents like the death of George Floyd, have only fueled the inclusion and amplification of woke ideologies. Cofnas notes that while there may be decreases in overt expressions of wokeness, these sentiments persist behind a façade of compliance, supported by a culture of intimidation and censorship.
Failure to confront this enduring ideology could lead to far-reaching implications for future generations. Cofnas forewarns that as younger generations rise to prominence, the core values of free expression and individual merit may face greater challenges than ever before.
In a country where people are beginning to recognize that inherent differences among individuals cannot be legislated away, conservatives must advocate for an understanding of personal responsibility and the acknowledgment of individual strengths and weaknesses.
While some conservatives celebrate Trump's presidency as a potential death knell for wokism, it is crucial to grasp that the battle is ongoing. The left may have suffered a setback, but they are not out of the game.
If conservatism is to thrive, a robust strategy to confront and diminish the influence of wokism in our culture, education, and governance must be established.
In essence, the resurgence of Trump is a call to arms—not merely a celebration of success, but a reminder of the ongoing fight against an ideology determined to reshape the moral foundation of our society.
