Woke mantra: peace through conformity. Americans aren't buying it (literally)
Today's woke apostles have a mantra of their own, albeit an unspoken one: Peace through Conformity.
The citizen is offered the veneer of harmony, but solely on the condition that he accept as true the vapid ideology being foisted upon him.
