I’ve noticed that the word, “woke” is defined very differently by the left and right
The left defines woke as being aware of racial struggles. The right defines it as political correctness and sensitive outrage against people for opinions.
The dictionary definitions, like most definitions, lets the left have their way because the left makes up the majority of America’s population. But I think DeSantis viewed the term in the right wing definition, which is pink haired college kid who gets offended when Ben Shapiro talks about his ideas.
I don’t think DeSantis should have said Florida is where woke goes to die if the left is correct on what it means to be woke. But there needs to be a new term to describe the pink haired gender studies major who gets offended at everything right wingers and their supporters say. Whatever that term is, “call it snowflake”, or DeSantis said Florida is where snowflakes go to melt, would it still be offensive? Surely we can all be against snowflakes.
When I refer to snowflakes, I do not refer to BLM supporters, Medicare for all supporters, or supporters of any left wing cause. I refer to people that block over political disagreement and people that are unwilling to hear opinions they dislike, whether left or right. Some of the biggest snowflakes I have met are on the right. I got kicked out of a GOP club for being anti war and anti ICE and leaning into these talking points under the justification of small government (now they all oppose the war in Ukraine, but still want to fund our military a lot for no reason other than a false sense of safety). Those people are snowflakes, and Florida should be where they go to melt too. But there are many people on the left that are snowflakes and they should ALSO be called out on it.
Love your neighbor. It doesn’t matter if they are right wing, left wing, LGBT, unvaccinated, undocumented, pro life, pro choice, believe that marriage should be between a man and a woman, believe Caitlyn Jenner is a man. As long as they are a good person that doesn’t harm anyone else and that treats others well, you do the same.
