Politics isn't even politics anymore. it's just name calling and bullying

[glumdrops]

As we all know, leaders who restrict literature and books and creative expression to fit their political agenda have historically gone down great!

Instead if addressing the issue if interest rate going up and cost of everything. The world is heading for recession they want to walk about LGBT and about black people wanting equal right calling it woke.. deal with the issue of inflation not woke

Grown adults using the word "Woke" 🤦🏼‍♂️ so embarrassing

[iblame_nargles]

Love when people in power get rid of books! Always historically been a good thing!

[gordonstrong]

Hey Ron, is the woke in the room with us right now?

[tobygrantham]

I’d love to see him actually explain what “woke” is

[kebabfoto]

Only thing that's gonna happen is lower taxes for large corporations and making it harder for women to get an abortion 😴 boring

[mrprosser]

He's gonna make America sleep again!

If he can coherently explain what woke means and why it’s bad I’d like to see it.

The definition of Woke:
adjective: woke; comparative adjective: woker; superlative adjective: wokest
alert to and concerned about social injustice and discrimination.
"he's an activist and very woke"

So by calling himself anti-woke, he's pro discrimination and pro injustice? and there are grown adults actually gravitating to him? How pathetic.

I remember when I was young and I was told to cherish history because those who have lived through the worst times won't always be with us, and we'll collectively forget how bad things once were. Nowadays, the WW2 vets we grew up with are almost entirely gone, and we've went straight back to building up borders, promoting discrimination, letting corporations run rampant etc.
We as a collective have learnt literally nothing from the past century, and what a shame that is.

he is telling people what they want to hear

We gave the crazies an inch because we didn't want to deal with their BS, now they have taken a mile and its time for action.

I’m a struggling mother of 3. How is combating Disney and the “woke” community going to make my salary higher and put food on the table ????Fighting “woke” is not Florida”s agenda it’s your agenda. I want better paying jobs, affordable living, and a reduction in crime.

Anyone notice how they had to blur out the pages she was showing in the Gender Queer book? Why would they blur them out? Are they suggesting they are inappropriate?

[brettjohnson]

Can we all just agree now that the word "woke" shouldn't be used in any serious political discussion? It's not a real thing, it's a meaningless buzzword that conservatives throw about to describe anything vaguely left-wing. "Anti-woke" doesn't mean anything

Meatball Mussolini will be forgotten by the end of the decade.
