Did "woke" lose its grip on America? Brad Pearce discusses in his latest article.

"The most prominent example of the shame brigade during the 2024 election was after Donald Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally, which we were endlessly reminded was once the site of a Nazi rally, as if nothing else has ever happened at Madison Square Garden. (As a point of interest, it isn’t even the same building or location as during the infamous Nazi rally). The bulk of the scolding involved the comedian Tony Hinchcliffe making a joke calling Puerto Rico an island of garbage floating in the ocean. Now, I will grant that the wisdom of having an insult comic speak at a political rally shortly before an election is questionable, but it was a clear reference to Puerto Rico having a lot of garbage (the island in fact has a landfill crisis). It was only two days later that I learned that the liberal scolds believed he was calling Puerto Rican people garbage, because their bad faith and latent racism causes them to take everything in the worst way."
