Hollywood star and filmmaker Justine Bateman said the results of the 2024 election marked the end of the woke era, which she said happened when President-elect Donald Trump won back the White House.
During the 58-year-old actress’ appearance on Thursday on Fox News’ “Jesse Watters Primetime,” Bateman celebrated that Americans were no longer going to be punished for what they said or how they thought.
“The political correctness, the woke era is over because you need mob mentality momentum in order to keep that going,” Batman told the host. “In order to threaten people if they are not thinking and talking the way you do.”
“To threaten their lives, threaten their careers, threaten their place in society,” she added. “You need that momentum in order to do that, and when Trump won [the] presidency again, that cut that momentum off. So, this whole woke era is over.”
Later, she talked about the “spiritual shift” she’s felt in the culture, saying there’s been a “stagnation” and that things “haven’t been moving forward” for the last four years or more.

“It started a little bit when Elon Musk bought Twitter and turned it into X,” Bateman said. “And it really changed when Donald Trump won his presidency. I can feel it. For the last four years … there’s been kind of a pressing down, limiting what people can say and what happens, too, is you limit what can even occur in society.”
She later broke down her appearance on Watters in a hilarious film critique as part of her ongoing #SocialMediaVideoCritique series on X, in which she reacts to those posting meltdown videos about Trump’s win. Rather than pointing out things like poor messaging or simply mocking their outbursts, Bateman has some fun focusing instead on the backgrounds, lighting, and camera angles.

“An interesting piece in which two scripts are occurring at the same time,” Bateman wrote. “While the audible dialogue is heard, the ‘woman’ character on the right is sending morse code messages to the ‘man’ character on the left. The director could have done this with a tapping or a knocking, but instead it is done with the blinking of the eyes.”
“As the morse-code-eye-blinking is happening, you can see the [male] character is in a meditative ‘receiving state,’ while he pulls in the morse code message,” she added, noting the good lighting and location. “The tops of skyscrapers at night gives the viewer a feeling of freedom. It is as if the two characters are hovering 50 ft above the ground. Fin.”
In another another brutal yet funny film critique, Bateman took on Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s (D-NY) latest video lamenting Trump’s victory, as The Daily Wire previously reported.
