DeSantis’s “Woke” Obsession Is Bombing Outside Of Florida

Woke, woke, woke, woke, woke, woke, woke, woke, woke. There. You now have a complete copy for the script of a Ron Pissantis stump speech. Like a one-hit-wonder band from the 70’s, DeathSantis is having trouble selling it on the road.

The thing you have to understand is that DeSantis’s whole Woke! boondoggle is something that DeSantis put together purely for the rustics of Florida in his gubernatorial campaign. And since DeSantis doesn’t actually talk to people, he instead wove the fabric of this bullsh*t into speeches and rallies, where he laid out his carefully crafted definition of what Woke! actually means.

Loosely based, what this nonsensical political screed seems to mean is that any company, school, politician, or organization that dares to support any cause outside of DeSantis’s strict conservative ethos, like being tolerant of the LGBTQ community, trans kids, gay teachers, schools teaching accurate US history including slavery, are all Woke! entities, working feverishly to undermine the traditional American history and values, and make poor little white kids feel guilty about being white, and feel inquisitive about being queer.

There’s just one problem. DeSantis put this witches brew together in the state of Florida, and the only ones who were largely infected by the virus are Florida residents and voters. And now he wants to take this drivel national, but it turns out that almost nobody else in the country was exposed to the Kool-Ade in a sufficient dose. In short, pretty much nobody else knows WTF he’s talking about!

This is showing in two very obvious ways. Let’s just say that lightning strikes, and Pissantis manages to pull off a one vs sixteen March Madness upset to become the nominee. The Woke! culture theme is going to be a centerpiece of his campaign, basically because it’s all he’s got. And nobody gets it.

And this campaign agenda for DeSantis is a suitcase with a broken handle for two reasons. First of all, recent polling shows that when you get outside of the slobbering mouth breathers of Trumpmenistan, 68% have a positive opinion of the word Woke. To te rest of us, being Woke! means that you’re intelligent to be aware of current social issues, and willing to make a stand on those issues in favor of equality. So right off of the bat, the approval rating in the general election population for DeSantis’s WOKE! bandwagon is the same damn 30% of rockheads that are already voting for Trump.

Here’s more. When DeSantis had success in Florida, the wider GOP jumped on it with two feet as a wider part of their culture war. Think back several months ago, every MAGAt from Sugar Daddy Matt Gaetz to Machine Gun Marjie to Pistol Packing Lauren was screaming Woke! at the top of their lungs. But it fell flat on its face because nobody got it. And now, when is the last time you heard one of these Trumptards preaching the Woke! mantra? It didn’t bring in campaign donations.

But here’s the kiss of death. When DeSantis’s Woke! craze broke, FUX News sucked it up like a kid with chocolate Quick. But the problem is that even their own viewers didn’t get it, because it turns out it’s a Florida thing. They were more than willing to get all pissed off and up in arms, they just couldn’t quite figure out what they were supposed to be all pissed off and up in arms over. You very seldom hear any ranting on FUX News about the WOKE! agenda anymore these days either.

DeSantis was never ready for prime time, but he’s embarrassing himself on the national stage. But when you’re going into the early GOP primary states touting a concept that nobody understands, and then you follow it up with the personal charisma of Charlie Manson, then I wouldn’t exactly be looking forward to the next round of GOP primary polling coming out of Iowa and New Hampshire. This is getting good.
