Woke Is Back: Billionaires, Backlash, and the Blue Wave

We break down the seismic election results that proved one thing: woke is back. From Zohran Mamdani’s win in NYC to progressive victories across California, Virginia, and New Jersey, we unpack what this political shift means and why billionaires should be embarrassed. We connect the dots between a trillionaire being crowned, the ongoing government shutdown, and Democrats potentially caving to reopen it. We also dig into the New York Times op-ed blaming women for “ruining the workplace,” revealing the deeper backlash against independent women. The conversation widens into patriarchy, consumer rage, the attention economy, and what it means to reject the systems designed to control us. Plus: Frankenstein on Netflix, dancing to Madonna, and rediscovering joy as a radical act in dark political times.
