Ellmers is spot on with his diagnosis of the ills facing the USA (and Europe). After the theft of the 2020 and 2022 elections, I for one cannot face another two years of conservative fools telling us "We'll get 'em for sure in 2024!" Free and fair elections, at least at the federal level, are finished in the US, and there's no point wasting time and energy on them. He is also right on target with his more optimistic observations: "You can throw nature out with a pitchfork, said the Roman poet, but she will always return. This fact is liberating and inspiring. Standing on the side of human nature is exactly where we want to be." This ultimately is what will defeat Wokeism: Nature and Reality will always have the final vote. These two decisive forces will increasingly flex their muscles and demand their say as Wokeism gets ever crazier.

A final point concerning objective moral values. What has always amused me about the Wokeists, despite their claims that all values are relative, is how thoroughly absolutist they are. In a single breath, they'll tell you that you are a fascist if you believe there are fixed, eternal values, are then go on to say how it is absolutely certain that there are 57 genders. Not much relativism there! As anyone, like myself, who has crossed these crazies knows, these supposed stormtroopers of relativism are among the most absolutist people on the planet.

“a not-so distant future in which the values and morals of the majority are controlled by a small group who rule by a perfect understanding of psychology, and who in turn, being able to see through any system of morality that might induce them to act in a certain way”

Lewis explores the same ideas in his “space trilogy,” especially in “That Hideous Strength.” When it came out in the mid 1940s it must have seemed wild-eyed and alarmist. But today I find it chillingly prophetic.
