Welcome to the Woketrix, and the War to Destroy Everything You Love

Have you ever felt like you’ve woken up to a world in which up is down, wrong is right, and it takes immense courage just to say things that are obviously true? It’s not your imagination.

You’re not in the Twilight Zone. You’re in a new reality, a harsh new upside-down world in which the American flag is the symbol of oppression, freedom is slavery to the socialist state, men make better and stronger women than actual women, the media colludes to cover up truth, and every day sees your freedom to speak and even think what you want hunted down, cornered, and curtailed. 

It’s not your imagination. You’re in the Woketrix. This state of mind you find yourself in isn’t just the subject of a new book by BRAVE Books CEO Trent Talbot – it’s reality. That’s the bad news.

There’s other bad news before we get to the good news. Unlike the iconic red pill-blue pill scene in the Matrix movie, in which Neo has a choice to accept reality or pill his way back to comfort, the Woketrix isn’t fiction. It’s real. It’s also not going away, at least not yet. It’s on every college campus, it’s in almost every corporate boardroom, it’s in the NFL, the NBA, and it pervades nearly every show on every channel. That awful fifth season of Amazon’s detective show, Bosch? It’s a product of the Woketrix. The fake Facebook fact-check that’s destroying your favorite news website’s traffic? That’s the Woketrix made real. It can still cancel you and take away your constitutionally-protected rights. 

In fact, that’s why it exists. The Woketrix is a tool of oppression fashioned by the witting and unwitting followers of Mao and Pol Pot, two monsters who ravaged their own people and unleashed hideous new forms of mind control on the world. Left unchecked, the Woketrix will destroy our country, erase our culture, and divide families irreparably, forever. These are the goals of the woke. They want power and will destroy everything in their path to take it.

So that’s some of the bad news. The good news is many have caught on and are pushing back. BRAVE Books’ The Woketrix is one counterattack against the Wokes and their oppression and dishonesty, against their hot takes, their merciless cancel culture, and relentless drive to put their hooks into your child’s mind. 

The Woketrix opens with a scene parodying the Matrix movie, only instead of Morpheus offering Neo a blue pill for comfort or a red pill to learn the truth, Talbot offers his young daughter a blue book called Woke Up My Baby (yes, woke books are on kids bookshelves and in school libraries), or a photo of Rep. Dan Crenshaw, the war veteran who is now fighting back against wokeism. 

Talbot recently told Fox News, “I’m here to help parents fight for their children’s hearts. Conservative parents can’t afford to take a passive approach to parenting. Wokeism’s whole plan is to influence our children today so that they become the woke activists of tomorrow. BRAVE Books is a tool for parents to teach their kids intentionally so they grow up believing the traditional values that made this country the freest nation in the world.”

Crenshaw, the young Texan who lost an eye fighting for America and our values, agrees: “These days, Cancel Culture has become a tool of the woke mob. That’s why I wrote Fame, Blame, and the Raft of Shame: to help prepare our children to be brave enough to stand up for what they believe, to never back down against the mob, to understand that Cancel Culture is nothing more than a tool for the weak to attack the BRAVE.”

The Woketrix is unfortunately all too real, and it’s a true threat to your freedom and your family. It takes real courage to stand up against it. The Woketrix is one effort to fight back and restore common sense, decency, family, mercy, faith, hope, and patriotism – all the things that the wokes have constructed their Woketrix to destroy.
