Woke isn't dying. Woke isn't going anywhere.
Friend told me his small red town in a red state 500 miles from the nearest international airport just announced it's having it's first ever Pride parade, including a drag show for kids sponsored by the town council.

This also came with a "Proclamation" issued by the city declaring the town a safe space and condemning bigotry blah blah blah, suggesting that any objections, let alone active resistance to a city-sponsored Pride week and kid's drag show is somehow verboten...
receipts, for the skeptical:
This raises complex strategic/tactical questions. Despite outnumbering the hicklibs, ordinary people who don't want their cities hosting kids drag shows are not organized, don't know how to organize, and wouldn't know what effective resistance would look like if they were
What you're most likely to see is a disorganized counter-protest, some Facebook mom's group going off half-cocked, mixed in with a few feds, which will only strengthen the resolve of the Pride advocates, give fodder to local media, and look foolish to outside observers
