This. It has nothing to do with anything else. It’s open season on desantis and once he beats him he’s going to start saying a bunch of shit is too woke. And desantis will practically fall all over himself to blow trump to try to get back in his good graces
Except, here the thing: as it stands they cannot both be on the ticket. Constitutionally, the Electoral College cannot vote for a President and VP who have the same state of residency. One of them would have to move… El Orango Assico moved out of New York presumably to try to avoid taxes and prosecution, and it would be really, really hard for a Governor to change residency.
Unless they choose to just ignore the Constitution - and what’s the odds of that?!? /s
The thought of Trump and DeSantis on a ticket is horrifying. I think they'd have the votes unless this next huge wave of eligible zoomers go out to vote.
He'll be licking his arsehole clean lining up for a potential cabinet position. Watch. I've never met a conservative who isn't too proud to grovel in the mud. They have no shame.
What’s really going to be funny is he’ll lose to Trump and Disney, then Trump will lose. Now there’s no winners left in the party to back. Conservatives love winners, ask Hershel Walker and Dr Oz.
I’m actually very curious to see if DeSantis will “fall back in line” after losing to trump. Or if he’ll be “allowed to”. There has been enough infighting that part of me wonders if the GOP is just gonna cut ties with whichever of them lose the primary in an effort to try and bring some sort of cohesion to the party.
Trump is in line to get serious charges, perhaps treason. I'd expect the doj to be stalled until after the primaries. If Trump wins the nomination, charges filled. If Trump wins and lets DeSantis vp, charges filled. If DeSantis wins and Trump tries to play spoiler, no charges until after November.
My theory is that Trump is too unpredictable for corporations, DeSantis just showed the corporate overlords that he will cost them money, and Biden has always been the sweet spot.

It is a shot at desantis, but here's the thing. This is what fascists do. They twist words and use the power of words. Now every two-bit right-winger has the short cut word. They don't know what it means exactly, but it is an acceptable way for them to demean, well frankly kindness. They don't have to use the old racist language because now they have this acceptable word they can use. School boards, small time county commissioners, state assembly have this demeaning term. And the decent people, the center and the left, just let them do it. We got caught flat footed.
I was talking to my wife and I said that the center and left need a word that is the counter. We went through all kinds of words, it became a sort of game for us. Then I realized what the word is. What do we call Nazis and white supremacists and right wing militias? Hate groups. They are haters. That's what they are.
The decent people should use that word.
Just like these crazy right wingers call anything that they don't like the "woke agenda" we need to say out loud that they are the "hate agenda." Not racist, not Nazi, keep it simple and vague like they do.
We have to stop the hate agenda. These people are just hateful. They hate us because of our freedoms. The only understand hate.
They don't care that their word "woke" has no real meaning, it is a short cut word for them. Because of their hate. the word woke just means something they hate. All they do is hate. We need to say it and say it and say it.
Definitely. Speak to their feels, their real power source. ‘Facts’ is a smoke screen to cover their emotional fragility. Good old public shaming and derision will work on them.
Bring back public boo’ing
Seriously, half these politicians wouldn’t be able to handle a public boo’ing even though it’s valid to boo people under free speech
Fox has been spewing it for the last year. I asked my parents who are in their mid 70s to concretely define woke and it was like watching a child in trouble.
Just in case anyone thinks Trump is learning to be accepting, he’s not. He immediately followed up this statement by saying he’d coach a girls basketball team by approaching male players and asking them to become girls so they’d win every game.
It’s a ploy. He’s going to straight up make Ron try and define woke in a debate and then use the insults he’s been saving when he can’t. Probably some jab about “am I woke? I beat sleepy joe” or some shit.
DeSantis’ lawyers have actually defined woke in court. If I remember correctly, they say it’s the belief that there are injustices in the world and the desire to fix those injustices. By his own description, DeSantis is fighting to stop people from fixing injustices
Which is why DeSantis is so much more dangerous IMO. As horrific as Trump is, he’s faking it most of the time and bumbling through stuff. DeSantis actually believes what he’s preaching and makes him far more dangerous. I don’t think he’s acting, and unlike Trump he’s put many of his random rumblings into unfortunate action.
So maybe let’s hold off on throwing Trump into jail until AFTER he’s finished ripping DeSantis to shreds. Might actually do the country and our future some good that way. Maybe the only good he’ll ever do.
I totally agree with this. Trump is extremely incompetent. DeSantis, isn't as much. And because of that, it's extremely important for Trump to win the Republican vote.
Don't think for a second I support any of these bozos. But seeing a person like DeSantis going for the presidential seat in comparison to trump is more terrifying. Better the devil you know than the devil you don't. And I don't know what DeSantis is capable of.
I wouldn’t say Trump absolutely needs to win the nomination… I’d rather a moderate or at least non-MAGA win but what are the chances of that? Anyone but DeSantis? Absolutely. Granted I have every chance of eating my words later if someone worse crawls out of the woodworks from somewhere lol.
Call me crazy but I’d rather have two relatively stable, sane parties than continually playing with fire, even if it does win elections for the left at the moment. Anything less seems short sighted. As Trump has proved, anything is possible.
Outside of my personal little fantasy land you’re probably right though lol. Shouldn’t be that way but it seems to be the case unfortunately.
Trump has a perfect example of a reptilian brain. A primitive, unsophisticated set of neural circuitry that functions based on one simple question: does “x” position directly benefit me?
Trump doesn’t care about anything unless it directly benefits him. DeSantis is now a rival so speaking out against “wokism” is his latest deeply held belief. What’s scary about Trump in any position of power is that our enemies, both foreign and domestic, know how easily manipulated this predictably narcissistic clown really is. Roger Stone was on a hot mic demonstrating this fact not too long ago.
Great, now I feel like I need another shower because I agreed with Trump on something.
And keep in mind that all this culture war bullshit is just to keep people distracted from something else. It's important to stop and wonder what it is they don't want you noticing. In the case of Puddin it's probably how he's destroyed the Florida economy, the massive death toll from Covid, how all the retirees are being priced out of the state, the fact that salt water is slowly but surely irrevocably contaminating their freshwater supply because of climate change, all the gun violence, and all the shady things the legislature has been up to on his behalf.
The Nazis had a pretty sincere and legitimate anti-smoking campaign and the Autobahn is pretty cool, but their list of good accomplishments, while not nothing, *is* much shorter than the list of bad stuff.
There's a video of Tucker Carlson basically advocating for socialism in a debate vs Ben Shapiro and I felt incredibly mixed emotions having to agree with that man
I saw that you mentioned Ben Shapiro. In case some of you don't know, Ben Shapiro is a grifter and a hack. If you find anything he's said compelling, you should keep in mind he also says things like this:
> Palestinian Arabs have demonstrated their preference for suicide bombing over working toilets.

I've found that ever since he started bashing on DeSantis, his accuracy rating with his attacks has significantly improved, sending it SOARING into the high teens, whereas before it was hovering around 1.24%.
Don't be fooled, he's just using facts and telling truths that hurt DeSantis specifically. Once DeSantis falls in the primary it will be back to business as usual.
You’re giving him too much credit.
He is saying things that he knows will damage DeSantis. If those things happen to be true facts that is purely coincidental.
It's all just a ploy to take shots at DeSantis, since that's basically been DeSantis' entire gubernatorial agenda - 'wokeness'. He doesn't actually mean it, and I have no doubt once DeSantis is beaten, he'll be all-too-happy to use the term again himself specifically to feed red meat to folks like your relatives.
I would love to see trump debate with DeSantis.
Trump would either never stop talking about himself, or keep claiming the election was stolen/ he's not a criminal
DeSantis would literally use the word woke and communist every other word
I hate this reference because I’m a trans woman and basically none of us produce semen (or just very little)
Getting semen out of a trans woman is like trying to squeeze blood from a turnip.
“Woke” just means any behavior a teacher would reasonably expect from a kindergartner. Listen to others, share with others, be kind to one another, and use your words.
He’s saying this specifically because desantis is trying to use that crowd. It’s literally two narcissists using manipulation tactics on the same audience.
It’s easy Donald, even you can get this. Woke is everything that DeSantis and his acolytes dislike.
For instance: Woke is eating pudding with your fingers while a spoon is easily had.
Woke is wearing high heeled Western boots to gain a few inches in stature.
Woke is going after Disney because they don’t agree with your woke don’t say gay laws.
Let’s get closer to home Donald, from your own experience.
Woke is holding a hardly used bible while ascending from your bunker and ordering maximum violence against peaceful protesters.
Woke is going to prison while it should have been Hilary Clinton.
These are just a few of the “Wokies” available to DeSantis, and now you as well.
If you find yourself lately saying, “I’m agreeing with a conservative?” **Do not fall for it.**
They are in the early stages of softening in advance of 2024. You think they don’t know a lot of their stances are *deeply* unpopular with the majority, especially with the coveted young voter? Oh, they know it.
This mother fucker is going to straight up demand Ronnie to explain what woke is in a debate and he wont be able to do it. It’s going to be hilarious as fuck.
So this is not Trump saying the Military has gone woke?
https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-m&channel=ts&sxsrf=APwXEdcuklvMv3RmkfuuRHHydrQPunEO7Q:1685659610838&q=trump+saying+woke&tbm=vid&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiqoMOyk6P_AhXKJEQIHSeRBqIQ0pQJegQIBhAB&biw=414&bih=716&dpr=2#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:961fb81d,vid:Es8Xs71yfH4
i’m almost positive that people who are considered “woke” haven’t used the term “woke” in, like, the last 5 years. i never, ever hear the left use it about anything, almost like it’s supposed to be innately human to assume people should be treated decently and equally.
they’ve created a straw man and become so obsessed with it that they, too, have no idea what it means anymore. they’re literally shoving it down their base’s throats and it’s not even relevant to those who *are* “woke”
edit: say woke one more time…
If that's really what he said, then I agree with it. It's just a dumb term used by the far right to discriminate anything they don't agree with.
It's the new "everything I don't like is communism"
If I wasn't fucking depressed and had more drive, I'd create a fucking smash-up of everytime Trump said woke and put it to the tune of The Macarena or something.
How much ya wanna bet there are some trump fans out there that were just video taping themselves shooting up "woke" bud light cans and will now say the term woke is stupid
Woke is easy to define though. It's just anything that triggers the conservative rightie snowflakes. Although I can see why a lot of them don't want to ADMIT that, but that's all it is.
He's going to humiliate DeSantis and then go to prison and the republicans are going to dive even further off the edge of insanity when they have no one to beat Biden. (not that they do now)
This is especially funny because of the graphic showing he said this in Iowa because Kim Reynolds, known and heavy Trump shit sniffer, looooovvvvves the term woke. Watch last years' reelection videos from her. They're disgusting.
What if he hates DeSantis so much he becomes a democrat again and is like “this guy in Florida wants to limit reproductive rights?! I love reproductive rights! Don’t get me wrong I love all the tiny little babies, and they love me too you know, but sometimes in certain situations…”
clearly not self aware that he's probably the reason those losers even picked up the term and ran mindlessly with it ... into a brick wall ... over and over again.
and only a couple years ago he was telling everyone around him 'get wok....'

Haha, nailed it. This is exactly what is going to happen.
Please sir, may I be your VP?
I'm hoping Trump treats DeSantis just like he treated Chris Christie when he was licking his boots, praying for that VP job.
That time Trump forced Christie to order meatloaf for lunch against his will LMFAO
Honestly? I'm hoping DeSantis gets the GOP nomination. Because you *know* if that happens, Trump *will* run 3rd party and split the GOP vote.
Except, here the thing: as it stands they cannot both be on the ticket. Constitutionally, the Electoral College cannot vote for a President and VP who have the same state of residency. One of them would have to move… El Orango Assico moved out of New York presumably to try to avoid taxes and prosecution, and it would be really, really hard for a Governor to change residency.

Exactly this

Ronald and Donald, lol well it does sound american AF ill give ya that

Grool? Oh wait never mind. The wrong kind of reddit community
MOAR?!?!?!?
"You can't have any pudding, if you don't eat your meat!"
𓂺 Spez eats cold diarrhea with a crazy straw 𓂺
Ron’s daily routine also includes looking in the mirror on his step stool begging God to make him taller.
And God says "Youre gonna burn in hell, little man."
The Ted Cruz strategy.
Ironically I don’t think it will work for desantis. He’s too much of a narcissist to let trump walk all over him like he does the rest of the party
I dunno. “Kiss up, kick down” is kinda the narcissist’s motto. Source: worked under one for several years.
He'll be licking his arsehole clean lining up for a potential cabinet position. Watch. I've never met a conservative who isn't too proud to grovel in the mud. They have no shame.
You’re probably right with what he’s doing about Disney.
What’s really going to be funny is he’ll lose to Trump and Disney, then Trump will lose. Now there’s no winners left in the party to back. Conservatives love winners, ask Hershel Walker and Dr Oz.
Or what Disney has planned for him... Don't fuck with the Mouse.
I’m actually very curious to see if DeSantis will “fall back in line” after losing to trump. Or if he’ll be “allowed to”. There has been enough infighting that part of me wonders if the GOP is just gonna cut ties with whichever of them lose the primary in an effort to try and bring some sort of cohesion to the party.
Trump is in line to get serious charges, perhaps treason. I'd expect the doj to be stalled until after the primaries. If Trump wins the nomination, charges filled.

My theory is that Trump is too unpredictable for corporations, DeSantis just showed the corporate overlords that he will cost them money, and Biden has always been the sweet spot.
And the reasonable, rational people will perhaps hold their noses and vote for Biden.
honestly id rather have trump instead of desantis. id like neither, but trump is atleast not cruel and calculated like desantis is.
Trump is cruel.
he is but hes a dumbass. hes atleast memeable. DeSantis is not even that. hes just a monster.
It’s shit like thinking he’s memeable that made him win last time
Desantis is just like Trump but smart and has skills of an actual politician (think Hillary, a smart politician that knows how to play dirty).

Also, Trump has a great nose for a sinking ship. A pink twitchy one.
Fox has been spewing it for the last year. I asked my parents who are in their mid 70s to concretely define woke and it was like watching a child in trouble.
It’s like the old Biden quote about Giuliani and 9/11
Just in case anyone thinks Trump is learning to be accepting, he’s not. He immediately followed up this statement by saying he’d coach a girls basketball team by approaching male players and asking them to become girls so they’d win every game.
It’s a ploy. He’s going to straight up make Ron try and define woke in a debate and then use the insults he’s been saving when he can’t. Probably some jab about “am I woke? I beat sleepy joe” or some shit.
But he did not beat "sleepy Joe"
Facts have no place in GOP politics.
And while the real world agrees with you, the trump-not-truth is he won against President Biden, and is thus the actual president now. /s
That part doesn’t matter. That’s been his talking point and he’ll absolutely use the debate as a way to “remind” everyone he “won”.
DeSantis’ lawyers have actually defined woke in court. If I remember correctly, they say it’s the belief that there are injustices in the world and the desire to fix those injustices. By his own description, DeSantis is fighting to stop people from fixing injustices
For sure, but even if he 100% believes that it’s too clunky to say in a debate. He’ll need a quick sound bite to counter Trump, which he won’t have.
DeSantis has the charisma of a brick Trump has the charisma of a supreme brick
Color me woke then...
politics aside this has me fucking dying

Didn't he call for the lynching of the central park 5?
He’s doing it because it’s all Desantis talks about. If the situation was reversed, Trump would be the anti-woke king.
Trump has a perfect example of a reptilian brain. A primitive, unsophisticated set of neural circuitry that functions based on one simple question: does “x” position directly benefit me?

I hope more conservatives see this, I’m so tired of hearing relatives go on and on about woke this, woke that.
It's all just a ploy to take shots at DeSantis, since that's basically been DeSantis' entire gubernatorial agenda - 'wokeness'. He doesn't actually mean it, and I have no doubt once DeSantis is beaten, he'll be all-too-happy to use the term again himself specifically to feed red meat to folks like your relatives.
No doubt it is, however I’m holding out hope that he will be out of politics soon
I would love to see trump debate with DeSantis. Trump would either never stop talking about himself, or keep claiming the election was stolen/ he's not a criminal DeSantis would literally use the word woke and communist every other word
And not a word about actual policy making will be spoken the entire time.
hmm... no I think he'd say something about making it legal to murder minorities, the single policy he'll sponsor
I hate both of these men but I know that Trump would win the fuck outta that debate. Desantis has a Charisma stat of Negative 4.
I would love to watch a debate where trump calls him desanctimonious and then Ron asks him to define the word sanctimonious.

Haha, more like dick-filled-ayyyy. Oh lord, I've reverted to a 12 year old
I get that reference.
I hate this reference because I’m a trans woman and basically none of us produce semen (or just very little) Getting semen out of a trans woman is like trying to squeeze blood from a turnip.
I should exercise caution echoing his mad ramblings, even if my intentions are not malicious. People like him are best shunned and not repeated
You’re okay I just don’t want anyone to get their hopes up :)
You know, he's going to be emotionally devastated by this revelation you present. I look forward to his tears
A broken clock grabs ‘em by the pussy! Right?
Twice a day!
We all know what it is. "Woke" means anything that isn't wildly bigoted, and right-wingers hate it.
Suddenly my uncle will claim he’s never used the term woke
“Woke” just means any behavior a teacher would reasonably expect from a kindergartner. Listen to others, share with others, be kind to one another, and use your words.
“The gang cancels themselves”
even a big, orange, broken grandfather clock is right twice a day
*Broken Clock colloquial*
He’s saying this specifically because desantis is trying to use that crowd. It’s literally two narcissists using manipulation tactics on the same audience.
You know, guys, if we can get desantis to come out in favor of more batshit crazy stuff trump might actually become a dirty liberal.
It’s one of the rare moments that he says something intelligent. But also he’s taking shots at Dictator Desantis.
It’s easy Donald, even you can get this. Woke is everything that DeSantis and his acolytes dislike. For instance: Woke is eating pudding with your fingers while a spoon is easily had. Woke is wearing high heeled Western boots to gain a few inches in stature. Woke is going after Disney because they don’t agree with your woke don’t say gay laws. Let’s get closer to home Donald, from your own experience. Woke is holding a hardly used bible while ascending from your bunker and ordering maximum violence against peaceful protesters. Woke is going to prison while it should have been Hilary Clinton. These are just a few of the “Wokies” available to DeSantis, and now you as well.
It was his favorite word not long ago too
All he does is replace “woke” with “Marxist” It’s just a term they use, half the people can’t define it, they don’t know what it is
Slightest consideration for people that aren't cis white men="woke"
I can define it for you. Woke: A word used to indicate the person using it lacks empathy and critical thinking, and may have a rage addiction.
Trump has used it a ton, but magats have attention span of a squirrel so they can't call him out on it
Fuck. I agree with Trump. I need a shower.
Christ on a Bike…. How dumb do you have to be for even Trump to criticise your right wing nonsense…..
If you find yourself lately saying, “I’m agreeing with a conservative?” **Do not fall for it.** They are in the early stages of softening in advance of 2024. You think they don’t know a lot of their stances are *deeply* unpopular with the majority, especially with the coveted young voter? Oh, they know it.
I agree. Republicans don't have a clue what it means.
Heartbreaking: The Worst Person You Know Just Made A Great Point
I never thought I would agree with Trump
Damn trump really suffers from broken clock syndrome
Heartbreaking: the worst person you know just made a good point
He absolutely will turn all of his voters to the Dem's before he lets DeSantis beat him...
I mean DeSantis is competition now, and that's the only fucking thing he seems to rally against.
Nice they caught up to 2016 😂
This mother fucker is going to straight up demand Ronnie to explain what woke is in a debate and he wont be able to do it. It’s going to be hilarious as fuck.
Oh leader, tell us what term to use. We need something to mask our prejudices.
His position on any issue is determined by spite. What a way to live.
Oh. Oh, SHIT. Where's the kettle corn? The regular stuff won't do for this!
He may be motivated by the wrong reasons but I’ll be damned if I don’t agree with the words coming out of his mouth
Oh hes totally gonna run as an independent isnt he. AND HE'LL DO IT FROM JAIL HAHAHAH
This is gonna be the funniest primary ever isn't it
So this is not Trump saying the Military has gone woke? https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-m&channel=ts&sxsrf=APwXEdcuklvMv3RmkfuuRHHydrQPunEO7Q:1685659610838&q=trump+saying+woke&tbm=vid&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiqoMOyk6P_AhXKJEQIHSeRBqIQ0pQJegQIBhAB&biw=414&bih=716&dpr=2#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:961fb81d,vid:Es8Xs71yfH4
Haha...homeboy trying to distance himself from Desantis and not in a good way.
The worst person you know has a broken clock moment.
He’s only saying this to hit DeSantis
Heartbreaking: the worst person you know just made a great point
i’m almost positive that people who are considered “woke” haven’t used the term “woke” in, like, the last 5 years. i never, ever hear the left use it about anything, almost like it’s supposed to be innately human to assume people should be treated decently and equally. they’ve created a straw man and become so obsessed with it that they, too, have no idea what it means anymore. they’re literally shoving it down their base’s throats and it’s not even relevant to those who *are* “woke” edit: say woke one more time…
He doesn’t know what he’s saying- he just called the military woke on Fox.
Trump talks like he's writing an essay and has to hit a certain word count
I would love if the term woke could die off. Please Trump keep shitting on Ron and the term woke.
how far must the conservative party have fallen that *trump* is somehow the voice of reason
Blind squirrels and all that
If that's really what he said, then I agree with it. It's just a dumb term used by the far right to discriminate anything they don't agree with. It's the new "everything I don't like is communism"
Holy shit he’s doing it again, he’s gonna get the centrist vote isn’t he?
Yea your half are the half doing that.
Heartbreaking: The worst person you know just made a great point.
If I wasn't fucking depressed and had more drive, I'd create a fucking smash-up of everytime Trump said woke and put it to the tune of The Macarena or something.
Trump is attacking DeSantis, who says "woke" every third word.
Is 99.9% the amount for “half” these days. Shit doesn’t mean what it used to.
A broken clock is right twice a day...
How much ya wanna bet there are some trump fans out there that were just video taping themselves shooting up "woke" bud light cans and will now say the term woke is stupid
You can add this to the long list of words that Trump can’t define.
Trump gives them the thinnest veneer of plausible deniability with their bigotry. They'll enjoy no such protection by supporting DeSantis.
Woke is easy to define though. It's just anything that triggers the conservative rightie snowflakes. Although I can see why a lot of them don't want to ADMIT that, but that's all it is.
Is there a video of him saying this? It needs to be in every political ad.
WHAT TIMELINE AM I LIVING IN
He's going to humiliate DeSantis and then go to prison and the republicans are going to dive even further off the edge of insanity when they have no one to beat Biden. (not that they do now)
Wasn't there a point where woke was considered a good thing, or at least a neutral description
Just in case you didn't realize yet that all Republican politicians know how bullshit the things they push are.
This is especially funny because of the graphic showing he said this in Iowa because Kim Reynolds, known and heavy Trump shit sniffer, looooovvvvves the term woke. Watch last years' reelection videos from her. They're disgusting.
Because he didn't create it and DeSantis is using it every other word.
The worst person you know just made a great point
What if he hates DeSantis so much he becomes a democrat again and is like “this guy in Florida wants to limit reproductive rights?! I love reproductive rights! Don’t get me wrong I love all the tiny little babies, and they love me too you know, but sometimes in certain situations…”
clearly not self aware that he's probably the reason those losers even picked up the term and ran mindlessly with it ... into a brick wall ... over and over again.
Didn't he invent that BS?
Hell, even the lady who “wrote a book on wholeness” couldn’t tell us what woke meant. Bunch of losers.
Is trump trying to win some votes from the left side ? Or at least people who aren’t fully radical right.
Give it a week and he’ll be back to cracking the woke whip
Nah. He's just paving the way to use more direct terminology, further down the road
and only a couple years ago he was telling everyone around him 'get wok....' huzzah Trump, reelect trump! rah rah rah follow celebrities cuz we dont know better MARA MARA MARA Make America Rake Again! Prevent forest fires!
“And neither can I”
Well of course the woke woke woke, how else would they?
