The Real “Woke Right”

In his “The Real Woke Right,” Geoff Shullenberger examines the rise of right-wing movements that adopt progressive language to advance conservative agendas. He references Norman Mailer’s observations on the fluidity of political identities, highlighting Mailer’s belief that ideological labels often mask deeper, more complex motivations. Shullenberger suggests that Mailer’s insights are relevant today, as they help explain the convergence of seemingly opposing political rhetorics.
