GOP’s ‘anti-woke’ campaigns have voters hitting snooze - eviltoast

Polls show little support for attacks on corporations’ handling of environmental and social causes — even among Republicans.

    Does Trump ever actually complain about “woke” stuff? I mean, I know he’s in the same party and it’s the “kind” of thing he would go after, but does he actually use the phrase “woke”? I wonder if the reason it’s not really gaining traction with anyone is bc their God-Emperor isn’t really priming them for it? DeSantis seems to be the major user of that and has tried to make “anti-wokeness” his whole personality, but nobody else seems to care.

      Donald Trump is a classic narcissist to the extreme.

      So no, he doesn’t really talk much about the woke stuff compared to how often he talks about how amazing he is.

      He did briefly around the time Desantis made it his personality.

      But it’s hardly a major component of his mouth flapping compared to his self-promotion.
