Piers Morgan welcomes the return of a common-sense world
Never afraid to stand up for whats right or call out hypocrisy at either end of the political spectrum, Piers Morgan became a voice of leadership at a time when so many of us were treading on eggshells. But now, with Trumps comprehensive defeat of Kamala Harris and the accompanying rejection of woke ideology, it seems like the rest of the world is finally catching up.
Woke Is Dead explores the international rejection of being told how we should think, how we should act and what we should (or shouldnt) say. Addressing combustible topics including the gender divide and the destruction of free speech, Morgan argues that wokes empty discourse only created more division, confusion and mistrust, and makes the case for what our post-woke future can, and should, look like.
Rather than celebrating the death of woke for the sake of revenge, Woke Is Dead advocates for a return of common sense and a less divided, more sensible society. Because its what the majority of us want and we should no longer be afraid to say it.
