What do they think is the endgame of “woke ideology” that has them so paranoid? Forced gender reassignment? Enslavement of whites? Or is it just too much to ask them to stop being an asshole to those who were marginalized by the status quo?

The empire is falling and those who benefit from empire would rather plug their ears and kick dirt at minorities than actually recognize that you might actually have to treat people as equals.

We may all have differing opinions on Noam Chomsky, but he really hit it out of the park with Manufacturing Consent.

He totally did, and that book is excellent as an intro for libs to start possibly understanding why they’re so indoctrinated, so long as they’re willing to read something pretty dry. But keep in mind, Chomsky was a co-author of the book (Herman never gets due credit), and Michael Parenti’s Inventing Reality is a much more entertaining (and arguably better) discussion of the topic that doesn’t have the little sprinklings of anti-communism that MC has.

Does DeSantis actually have a shot at the nomination, or is the media just trying to push a non Trump candidate?

Even then, idk if DeSantis comes out on top. He’s got that Ted Cruz vibe of a guy who everyone outside his locale hates. How does DeSantis win in states like California and New York? How does he win in the more libertarian-leaning states like New Hampshire and Nevada?

Hell, how is he going to perform in his home state of Florida now that he’s pissed off the state’s biggest commercial enterprise?

He would have a shot except he is a massive loser that acts and sounds like a loser. Trump is going to eat him for breakfast before the primaries even start

Yeah I’ve been strong on the side of “DeSantis is dangerous and likely to win” but dude has such loser energy idk anymore

That’s sugar man!” like come on dude that’s not what your hogs want to hear! And then when he was asked about Trump beating him in polls and he gave such a sniveling whiny answer.

He seems more competent politically, so the fact that he fails at the spectacle in a game entirely dedicated to spectacle is promising.

I think having people ask that question is part of the ratings game

I feel the purpose of this poll is to go :wojak-nooo: DeSantis isn’t losing to Trump, see the GOP actually hates woke more than they hate Social Security cuts!! But, Trump is, at least superficially, the face of anti-woke anti-cuts to social security, which is why this primary isn’t going to be much different from 2016.
