    one trick pony candidate of no substance focused on “wokeism” (whatever the fuck that is).

    The definition of “woke” is easy. It’s a catch all term they means whatever the right decides they don’t like. If tomorrow the right decides that they don’t like puppies and kittens, then puppies and kittens will be “woke.”

    When DeSantis says he hates “woke,” all he’s really saying (to paraphrase Futurama) is "“I’m against those things that everybody on the right hates!”

      I heard that his own lawyers gave this definition last year in a court case and I’ve actually come to respect it: woke is the recognition that there are systemic injustices in America and the need to do something about it.

      It gets right to the point and includes a call to action.
