Comedian Andrew Schulz says Americans have spoken clearly against wokeness. He pointed to Donald Trump's decisive win in the 2024 election as proof.
Schulz believes the political tide has turned. Trump’s anti-woke stance resonated with voters, signaling a major shift.
"I think that now that the pendulum has swung… we're past wokeness. Wokeness is done. We've moved on. The country has spoken loud and clear. Unanimous victory for Trump. He ran on anti-woke," Schulz claimed.
Schulz is well-known in comedy circles. He co-hosts 'The Brilliant Idiots' podcast with Charlamagne Tha God, has starred in Netflix specials, and boasts 4.4 million Instagram followers.
He emphasized the effectiveness of anti-woke messaging. Schulz highlighted a popular campaign ad, "Trump is for me and you, Kamala is for they/them."
"The most successful ad was vote against wokeness," Schulz noted. He argued voters clearly thought society was moving too far in that direction.
The phrase, "Kamala is for they/them, Donald Trump is for you," became a standout slogan. Launched in September 2024, it spread beyond Trump’s campaign, aiding other Republicans.
With the election outcome settled, Schulz says it's time to move past debates about wokeness. "We don't need to argue about it anymore," he insisted. "You can say whatever you want about wokeness... nobody's going to give you push back."
Schulz also discussed how woke ideology affects education. As his daughter approaches school age, he and his wife plan to teach her their values but welcome exposure to different viewpoints.
"I think it's really important that my kid learns whatever the woke stuff is, and then also, like, learns whatever my perspective on it is, and then learns whatever her mom's perspective on it is," Schulz explained. He emphasized the importance of critical thinking.
Schulz believes debates sharpen one’s ability to argue. Without exposure to differing opinions, arguments become weak.
"The only way you sharpen the sword is when you have these conversations with people who disagree with you," he said. Schulz isn’t worried about his daughter attending a school with woke ideology because he'll remain actively involved.
Schulz will appear on Fox News' The Will Cain Show Monday at 4 p.m. EST. His latest comedy special, "Life," premiered on Netflix on March 4th.
