Fight The Woke
 
This episode has been extremely difficult to complete. It’s a depressing topic and Governor Ron DeSantis and his ilk are constantly doing more provocative things. DeSantis, in particular, with his constant desire to stay in the media spotlight ends up continuously pulling political stunts and passing laws that are harming the state of Florida and many other people as well. While the courts are rejecting most of the worst laws, many people react to them being passed because they don’t have the luxury of hanging around to see if they might be declared unconstitutional. The cruelty, bigotry and overt racism we’re seeing displayed by members of the far-right is intended to provoke their opposition into hating them with the same intensity that the hate others. It’s a trap best avoided. I’d like to ignore the abhorrent behavior, but that seems irresponsible and dangerous. The best thing to do, as far as I can determine, is to stay Woke and remember they are the minority no matter how much attention the media gives to their outlandish antics. Let's act accordingly.
 
 
 
Woke defined-No, not really.     Fight The Woke.     M.L.K.’s Deathversity.
 
Woke B.S..     Bethany Mandel.     DeSantis’ Woke-ocracy.     
 
Potter Stewart.     Wokism is destroying our country.   
 
 Persecution complex.      I’m Woke.     Intentionally vague language.   
 
 Parental Rights in Education.     Legalistic phase of fascism.  
 
Nazis like Desantis. Take back America by banning history.
 
Ignorance is bliss?      Is our children learning?
 
Being Woke is being liberal.      Tolerate?
 
CRT is anything that addresses race.
 
Bud Light-Symbolism and spectacle.  They are the minority.
 
Abortion ban.     Culture Wars distract attention from poor governance.
 
Wasting time.     Cruelty is the point.
 
Jeff Sharlet- Fascism is theater.      Performative non-sense.
 
Big money influence.     Amanda Marcotte- Goading the opposition.
 
Stay Woke!
