I noticed during the run-up to the 2022 elections that the Democrats and their allies in the media were talking less and less about George Floyd, Black Lives Matter, and the racial reckoning, presumably because they were terrified that the huge increase in crime that the liberal Establishment had unleashed would cost them at the polls.
Waves rise, crash, and recede but the tide rolls inexorably inward.
We’re only a few election cycles from Dems being a majority-minority party at the national level and only a decade or two from the country being majority-minority. It’s very difficult to believe race politics (and the attendant periodic media frenzies) will *diminish* as the white vs brown coalition alignment comes into clearer focus.
> But is it merely lying dormant, waiting for a more propitious moment?
Hasn't this anti-white insanity been going on for the better part of a century now? It routinely boils over in some sort of left-wing, "anti-racist" mania resulting a bunch of dead people and destroyed property (60s race riots, Rodney King, BLM 1.0, etc.), after which there's a temporary political backlash but zero--zero!--apologies, mea culpas, or God forbid accountability for setting the whole shebang off in the first place. So, yeah, I'd say it's just the regular pattern: anti-white racists start feeling a bit of pushback at the ballot box, so they lay low for a bit until the heat's off. Then they'll be right back at it. There is no political solution to this from what I can see.
Not being an American I’m way less familiar with the black problem, but I’ve noticed the news is much calmer since Days of Floyd.
NYT had a major article on the dangers of hair straighteners. Apparently they contain formaldehyde (a carcinogen) and other noxious chemicals. So this is real. In fact ever since reading “100,000,000 Guinea Pigs” from 1930s about—among other things—nasty chemicals in hair dyes I’ve never used them. I read it back in the late 60s. So it’s good to get the word about hair straighteners.
what our dusky hued brethren may not understand or care about is that our man Audubon may have the taint of the tar brush by some smidgeon; making him (unless he were a tranny) acceptable to both dog and bird watchers.
I think there's still plenty of appetite for woke craziness among a large part of the left but at the same time a significant portion of the rest of the population has developed a resistance to it.

I vote for lying dormant...

as a confirmed episcopalian i have no copyright claim on the phrase "dusky hued brethren"
make of that what you will.
If the "WOKE is being put away", I believe it when I see it.
Woke probably has another ten years in it
When I was 5 our percentage was 89. We are now at 60. It’s not going to be the multicultural utopia that libs believe once we go.

Maybe in remission, but still a "progressive" cancer to contend with.
