THE PAST DECADE saw the rise of the woke progressives who dictate what words can be said and ideas held, thus poisoning and paralyzing . . .
. . . American humor, drama, entertainment, culture and journalism. In the coming 10 years someone will effectively stand up to them. They are the most hated people in America, and their entire program is accusation: you are racist, sexist, homophobic; you are a bigot, a villain, a white male, a patriarchal misogynist . . . . They never have a second move. Bow to them, as most do, and they'll accuse you even more of newly imagined sins. They claim to be vulnerable victims, and moral. Actually they're not. They're mean and will seek to kill, and like all bullies are cowards.
