As I’ve been writing lately, the cultural landscape has been changing since Donald Trump’s election. I would say it was beginning to morph even before that, but the election certainly sent that change into overdrive.
America had sent a clear signal to the leftist elite that we weren’t buying it anymore. In fact, we’re sick of it. The self-importance, the ideological rigidity. It was expired milk at this point, and we were tired of the left trying to convince us to drink it.
This is especially clear in the realm of entertainment, where wokeness had driven away moviegoers from theaters, and fans from franchises. Stories had become to propagandistic, and as a result, a labor to watch. Instead of escapism, we got heavy-handed preaching, and self-inserts from angry feminists looking to force their ideas on everyone else.
But this time seems to be passing….
