Comedian Andrew Schulz claims America has rejected wokeness after Trump's 2024 victory, highlighting anti-woke messaging as key to the election and cultural shift.

Comedian Andrew Schulz has boldly stated that Americans have "spoken loud and clear" in rejecting wokeness, following former President Donald Trump's decisive victory in the 2024 election. Speaking with Fox News Digital, Schulz suggested that the political "pendulum" has swung firmly away from woke ideology.

"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 asserted.

Schulz, a well-known stand-up comedian and podcaster, is no stranger to controversy. With millions of followers and Netflix specials under his belt, he’s used his platform to address cultural trends and their impact. He highlighted that the 2024 election's most effective ad campaign was laser-focused on anti-woke messaging, capturing the attention of voters across the nation.

The slogan "Kamala is for they/them, Donald Trump is for you" became a defining rallying cry for the Trump campaign in the months leading up to the election. Introduced in September 2024, the phrase resonated with millions of Americans, particularly parents, and played a significant role in shaping public sentiment. The line wasn't limited to presidential ads but also bolstered Republican candidates down-ballot, earning accolades as the most powerful campaign slogan of the cycle.

Schulz pointed out that the election results were a clear referendum on wokeness. "The most successful ad was, you know, ‘Trump is for me and you, Kamala is for they/them.’ The election was decided based on how people felt about wokeness. And they were like, 'We're going too far in that direction,'" Schulz noted.

Now that the American electorate has made its stance clear, Schulz believes it’s time to move forward. "So now that that's been solved… we don't need to argue about it anymore. Like, we already know how America feels. You can say whatever you want about wokeness. Like, you can be critical of it because nobody's going to give you pushback, because the majority of the country said, 'We don't believe in that,'" he remarked.

When asked about parenting in an era of cultural division, Schulz emphasized the importance of exposing his daughter to a variety of viewpoints. "I think it's really important that my kid learns whatever the woke stuff is, and then also learns whatever my perspective on it is, and then learns whatever her mom's perspective on it is. And then can critically think," he explained.

He argued that young people need to develop the ability to engage with opposing views to "sharpen their swords" intellectually. Schulz expressed no fear of his daughter attending a school that leans into woke ideology, as he and his wife plan to provide her with a balanced perspective at home.

"The only way you sharpen the sword is when you have these conversations with people who disagree with you. And then sometimes you realize how dull your arguments are. You're like, ‘Oh my gosh. F---, that was really embarrassing.’ So I think having, like, a contentious but respectful relationship is important," he said.

Schulz is set to share more of his thoughts on Fox News' The Will Cain Show this Monday at 4 p.m. EST. Meanwhile, his latest Netflix comedy special, "Life," premiered earlier this month, continuing his tradition of tackling hot-button issues with humor and candor.

Fox News' Jackson Thompson, Kayla Bailey, Nik Lanum, and Laura Carrione contributed to this report.

Editor's Comments

Schulz’s commentary on wokeness feels like a snapshot of America’s ongoing culture war, with Trump’s campaign slogan brilliantly weaponizing a divide many have felt brewing for years. But am I the only one who finds the phrase 'Kamala is for they/them' so absurdly meme-worthy it could’ve been written by a stand-up comedian himself? This whole thing really underlines how deeply humor and politics are intertwined now.
