Catholic Bishop Robert Barron and commentator Chris Rufo share a hope that the "extremism of a lot of the woke ideology" is prompting a promising backlash despite dominating conservative fears.

…

Barron said the U.S. will be "on dangerous ground politically" as culture moves away from the Declaration of Independence's sense of inalienable rights. "Real equality is that we're all children of God together our rights are going to even us because they're dependent upon the Creator's will," Barron said.

While many Republican politicians have joined the crusade against "wokeness," others have softened on the term. 

"I don’t like the term ‘woke’ because I hear, ‘Woke, woke, woke,'" said Republican primary frontrunner and former President Donald Trump during a campaign stop in Iowa this summer. "It’s just a term they use. Half the people can’t even define it, they don’t know what it is."

In his book "America's Cultural Revolution: How the Radical Left Conquered Everything" Rufo writes that the roots of CRT and wokeness are found in Marxism and nihilism, but presented in moral — even Christian — "marketing terms." 

…

At the local level, Rufo sees promise in education movements away from public schools toward charter schools and homeschooling, often making drastic job or life changes to do so. …"This is not a conflict at heart between left and right," Rufo said. "This is a contest between the permanent bureaucracy and let's say elite institutions that are seeking to impose these ideologies from the top down and then the broad middle class that opposes them."

It’s time to send the cult of wokism back to hell where it belongs.
