Are G.O.P. Voters Tiring of the War on ‘Wokeness’?

It would be nice if my country could have two functional political parties. Right now we have one that thinks if it does something once a decade it is too radical and the other is eating horse dewormer.

Two sides of the same coin, honestly.

Anti-"woke" means refusing to acknowledge the presence of systematic injustice.

"Law & Order" is the dogwhistle for cranking up the tangible effects of systematic injustice.

What would be fucking grand is if they tired of voting.

Yes, DeSantis schtick is getting old. It's not a real policy. Most people don't even have a clear view of what woke is even supposed to mean.

Even Trump doesn't care for it.

“I don’t like the term ‘woke’ because I hear ‘woke woke woke.’ It’s just a term they use, half the people can’t even define it, they don’t know what it is,” Donald Trump

You mean some of them are starting to remember that people are just free to have their own opinions on things? Who could have seen it coming...

Problem with the outrage/fear machine is its not sustainable. The brain gets tired of it eventually, particularly when there's some cognitive dissonance down there somewhere.

Can you get tired of something you don't under and can't define, even though for it's pretty easy to understand and define for a normal person?

They're just getting tried of hearing DeSantis say it 800 times a minute. And he can't even define it.

Hate, anger and the church pulpit are the main things that drive a right wing voter.

The word may change, as it has many times in the past, but the emotion behind it will never be abandoned.

For Republican candidates, no word has hijacked political discourse quite like “woke,” a term few can define but many have used to capture what they see as left-wing views on race, gender and sexuality that have strayed far beyond the norms of American society.

They're tired of the current entry on the "then they came for" list.

Never lose sight of the fact that you're supposed to direct your politicians to fight for your issues, and not the other way around.

They’ve run out of trigger words and myopic symbolism.

I don't think they're actually beginning to care about other people's opinions and beliefs, I think, I PRAY, they've begun to realize that campaigning on the idea you're going to spend millions of taxpayer dollars on enforcing their beliefs isn't what you pay taxes for.

I beg of them to realize exactly how much these republican bastards waste their OWN money on useless crap instead of the schools, infestructure, and societal improvements they're meant to be spent on.

Wokeness has been made into a bigger issue than needed.

Hell, I know I am...

Probably, that's why we'll see another simple word that the mouth breathers can say like a magic spell. A spell that will make all the smarter people that constantly tell them they are wrong go away

As a conservative, I'm fine with some broad anti-'woke' policies, but banning how people dress is absurd, and the insane focus from some candidates is wild.
