“I woke up and realized life is great and people are awesome and life is worth living.” –– Hulk Hogan
America’s at a crossroads. The cracks in the DEI and CRT machine—the grand experiment in social engineering—are starting to show. For years, their proponents sold us a utopia. What we got? Division. Resentment. Chaos. The shiny slogans disguised policies that did the exact opposite of what they promised. Equality? Hardly. Justice? Not even close.
Nowhere is this more obvious—or more dangerous—than in our military. Recruitment is in freefall. Morale is in tatters. Combat readiness? The Heritage Foundation calls it weak—a downgrade from last year’s “marginal.” For the greatest fighting force on Earth, “weak” isn’t an option. It’s a warning. A red light flashing on the dashboard of national security.
And that’s just the beginning. The myth of diversity’s economic magic is unraveling too. Remember McKinsey’s 2015 study? The one linking diversity in leadership to corporate profits? Turns out, it’s bunk. Professors John Hand and Jeremiah Green couldn’t replicate the results. Their conclusion? McKinsey’s claims weren’t science. They were sales pitches. Even so, politicians still wave that flag like it’s gospel truth.
DEI isn’t just failing in business and defense. Higher education—the birthplace of these ideas—is feeling the backlash too. Take the University of Michigan. They spent $250 million on the largest DEI program in the country. Result? A disaster. Students are less likely to mix with others of different races or beliefs. Campus climate? Worse than before. And Black student enrollment didn’t budge.
But don’t expect the architects of wokeism to admit defeat. They’re just regrouping. New battlegrounds. New buzzwords. Take the University of Maryland’s “Intro to Fat Studies” course. Fatness as oppression? Sure. Why not? What’s next? “Ugly Studies”? “Oppression of the Un-Brilliant”? You can bet they’ll find a way to package resentment as righteousness. That’s how Marxism works—divide and conquer.
The fight isn’t over. The stakes couldn’t be higher. But we’ve faced this before. We know their playbook. Stay sharp. Stay vigilant. We can win.
