Meanwhile, in Florida.

The bill calls for the outlawing of "any political party which once used slavery as its platform," it doesn't contain the words "Democratic Party" anywhere in it and will never be voted on in any case. Jesus people.

I mean, the article does state that, while it doesn't directly name the Dems, the guy who proposed it said he did specifically to target them for being too woke lol

[Lucavi]

Ask him what "Being Woke" means and he'll spew into some psuedo-intellectual bullshit that basically boils down to "whatever I don't like".

The same as the rest of em.

[Spicyryan]

Well, I mean, being woke is already bullshit. Its like being cool. What makes someone cool? Things you like?

Political dog whistles like woke are to bolster ones own confirmation bias.

[Lokus]

I find it very ironic that the same people who complain about others being woke go around also spewing rethoric where they say, "big media/government is lying to you, wake up sheeple!" Like damm, do you want me to be woke or not?

Yeah, no, woke has an actual meaning and context and can be judged somewhat objectively based upon one's awareness of issues, both current and historical.

The way it's used by Republicans fits your criteria though.

Wasn't Desantis forced to give a definition in court and said it was the belief there are systemic injustices in America?

I mean by his own words that's what he's fighting against.

woke had good meaning until white people got a hold of it

Language evolves, and I don't think woke survived the horde of Bill Mahers and public discourse.

A tale as old as time. ♫

What do you mean, "wannabe"? It's clear that the rich and powerful want this country to be a Plutonomy based dictatorship and have been slowly eroding our rights for decades to accomplish it.

It's truly amazing how the GOP is completely fine with this shit. More of the "make shit annoying so people don't do it" laws that they so love to do.

A new Florida bill would ban programs that promote diversity, equity and inclusion in colleges and universities across the state. 

House Bill 999, or the Public Postsecondary Educational Institutions, bans colleges from financially supporting “any programs or campus activities that espouse diversity, equity, or inclusion or Critical Race Theory rhetoric.”

Small government y'all.

[Andalusian girls]

finally we are protected from the machinations of big diversity

I thought we all understood that Republican slogans are so platitudinal that they aren't even worth criticizing at this point?!

Don’t build your home in alligator’s land and act surprised when they pay a visit.
