Ron DeSantis’ Lawyer Was Asked to Define “Woke”.
Let’s talk about the answer.
We all know there are a few words Republicans like to throw around to rile up the base, and generate the anger they feed off of in order to stay in power. Groomer and pedophile are just a couple of their buzzwords that get thrown in a lot. Oh, and of course the classic… “woke”. But, what does that word “woke” actually mean, particularly to a Republican?
Well recently, in the trial challenging Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ suspension of Hillsborough County State Attorney Andrew Warren, DeSantis’ lead lawyer said that “woke” means:
“it would be the belief there are systemic injustices in American society and the need to address them.”
Ah. Interesting.
So evidently in the mind of a Republican lawyer, “woke” simply means that the United States has systemic issues that need to be addressed, and apparently having that viewpoint makes you a “woke ideologue”, as he said earlier when describing Warren.
The lawyer’s definition of what the word meant is an instant clarification as to why they have never really been inclined to define it before then, isn’t it?
