TL;DR
- Donald Trump's 2024 electoral victory was seen by some as a decisive move away from "wokeness."
- The "woke" era was characterized as a "joyless, pseudo-religious fervor" imposed by leftist elites.
- A Trump campaign ad featuring Kamala Harris and taxpayer-funded sex-change operations for prisoners was considered effective.
- Voters' rejection of Harris and the themes in the ad suggested a departure from a perceived "unpleasant era."
