Part 3/10:
Why Wokeness Will Fade as a Winning Strategy
The current woke movement has achieved institutional power—particularly in universities and corporate sectors—but it faces critical limitations. It has become divisive and alienating for many working-class and middle America voters. Issues like gender studies, decolonization, and identity politics do not resonate with everyday voters in regions like Ohio or Arizona who are more concerned with economic stability and practical issues.
As a result, the left is likely to gradually deprioritize woke ideology, giving way to a new form of populist left politics that combines economic populism with nationalist rhetoric. This "post-woke" left will aim to bridge the gap between progressive ideals and broader, more traditional populist themes.
