DeSantis says we must wage a war on the woke ideology

Source: www.foxnews.com...

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis officially kicked off his 2024 bid for the White House, announcing his candidacy on Twitter Spaces with Elon Musk and vowing to leave woke ideology in the "dustbin of history."

DeSantis has repeatedly called Florida the place where "woke goes to die" and said as president, he would continue to take a firm stance in the culture war.

"The woke mind virus is basically a form of cultural Marxism. At the end of the day, it's an attack on the truth. And because it's a war on truth, I think we have no choice but to wage a war on woke," he said Wednesday on "Fox News Tonight."

DeSantis added he would "lean in against woke ideology and against the sexualization of children."

"It's wrong what they're trying to do to these kids. We're not going to abide by it. And in Florida, we say we're the state where woke goes to die. You know, as president, I'm going to make sure woke ideology ends up in the dustbin of history," he told host Trey Gowdy.

DeSantis said:

1) The woke mind virus represents a war on merit and a war on achievement. It represents a form of cultural Marxism and use gender identity politics to divide us
2) Woke represents a war on the truth and so we must wage a war on the woke as we fight for the truth
3) It is wrong for a teacher to tell a second grader they may have been born in a wrong body or their gender is a choice
4) It is wrong to have a swimmer compete for 3 years on the men's team and switch over to the women's team and somehow wins women's national championship
5) It is wrong for physicians to give minors puberty blockers or to perform sex change operations on them. If they do they will loose their medical license and go to jail if they perform these operations on minors.
6) We need to restore sanity to our society and we need to restore integrity to our institutions. We don't need drag queens to recruit people in the armed forces.


I agree very strongly with what Ron DeSantis said and he is my favorite candidate. I hope he gets nominated by the republicans and wins the race because we need good policies and we need to restore sanity in our society and fight for the truth.

I am very much against ALL medical procedures and surgeries on minors for the purpose of sex change and I find it highly unethical and wrong.

I 100% agree with all those points from DeSantis.

I voted for Trump 2 times and just might vote for him again because he is the one that sends the Dems in to the biggest meltdowns but I don’t think we could go wrong with DeSantis either.

Either way, we have to get the Dems out of presidency.

Did you know that in 2020, Governor Ron DeSantis was hosted by Rupert Murdoch, the owner of FOX News, at his luxurious California Ranch in Bel Air?

During this meeting, Murdoch assured DeSantis of FOX News' support for his potential presidential run in 2024. Interestingly, following this event, Murdoch's FOX Corp decided to part ways with their popular host Tucker Carlson, who had a significant following among the Trump-MAGA supporters.

Additionally, FOX News has imposed a subtle restriction on coverage related to President Trump.

Low Energy Ron lol, he’s doing great things for Florida for sure but based on his announcement, he does not have the charisma required to become president

I believe, more and more, that the “woke” extremism is part of a multi pronged attack on our entire social structure…These companies are choosing to purvey these over the top campaigns in order to elicit the response they’re receiving.

In order to change our structure to an internet based fulfillment structure, rather than brick and mortar; in order to create a population dependent on government and “stakeholder “ subsidies, these overt absurdities are intended to push some of the more popular venues out of business, with the resulting massive unemployment.

But there’s other aspects to this Machiavellian ploy, there’s the “problem/reaction/solution aspect of governance that I am equally evaluating. Doesn’t it seem a little to easy, promote Satan, child abuse and whatever other over the top unbelievable absurdities and then have the seemingly opposition based savior step forward?

Didn’t Rupert Murdoch have Ron Desantis over to the house for a chat? Aren’t other seemingly sane members of the opposition like Tulsi Gabbard etc.. graduates of the WEF young global leaders program???

Doesn’t this all just get your hackles up?

Become???? Nope. Run, for sure. Which is why Trump should quit berating him and have him as his VP, THEN have him run for POTUS, after he's proven himself. It was a great idea but now it's all gone to hell in a handbasket. People need to start paying attention to POLICY instead of charisma and window dressing. We'd be much better off in the long run.

The sides are making America great versus woke-ism, communism, otherwise known as NOT making America great.

The thing is is that DeSantis is most likely a Manchurian candidate. Ready to pull the rug on us slowly so we don’t really notice.

If Trump came out tomorrow and said I support and believe the same things that Ron just said - but - I of course have my own money and cannot be owned.

Well then back to Trump

I am watching DeSantis as well, he's my governor. To be honest, I am watching Kennedy as well, because I am an independent voter myself. I voted Trump twice and lost once and learned something very important for the next election. If Trump is the nominated GOP candidate, then we get Biden 4 more years. Makes me ill that thought.

Nice statements but I rather doubt Desantis has any idea the breadth and depth of the woke cultural infiltration.

I agree; they're making it WAY too easy to abandon liberal ideology. All energy MUST be spent on tearing Trump down and making DeSantis look like our savior.

Perhaps his handling of mandates and wokeism attacking children was to whitewash him for the run all along? He certainly got a lot of free press.

So he said a bunch of buzz words and didn't actually present any kind of policy?

That's unfortunately all it takes in this day and age.

Wow, guessing your here for DeSantis
He sounds good, well you do make him sound good
Probably take a few votes off Trump even.
Better tell him to get control of those voting machines, not going to get enough support to get him over the line without them

Are you related?

I'm just going to say this.

If the person that you are voting for is banning books. You need to reevaluate the person you are voting for. Because they are trying to hide things they don't want you to know.

I agree.

I'll also add, not only banning books, but supporting CHANGING books, altering words, omitting words, changing definitions.

what about the illegal child porn stuff they are showing to grade school children ?

what are they hiding when they ban that book ?

a reply to: WingDingLuey

I've never seen them do that in Florida or GA. Can't confirm with other states though.

And let's be honest. Most of the people doing that stuff are in positions of power like the police and politicians. Especially the people that were controlling Epstein.
