Trump ramblings

 Trump Admits Republicans Don’t Even Know What ‘Woke’ Means

DURING A THURSDAY campaign event in Iowa, former President Donald Trump admitted what we all know: Republicans have no idea what “woke” actually means. 

“I don’t like the term ‘woke,'” Trump said while answering questions from the audience, “because I hear the term ‘woke woke woke’ — it’s just a term they use, half the people can’t define it, they don’t know what it is.”

DeSantis’ lawyer defined it as

"the belief there are systemic injustices in American society and the need to address them."

And then this gem

He added that DeSantis doesn't believe there are systemic injustices in the country

Meanwhile he works overtime to create the systemic injustices that he claims do not exist 

It's systematic injustices against white people that DeSantis is concerned with.

Those don't exist, but he's very worried about them.

It's like the plaintiffs in the medication abortion case. They have never prescribed that drug and are anti abortion, but someday they might have a patient who may have been harmed by a drug that they have vowed not to prescribe.

I mean, it was used among BIPOC and LGBTQ+ advocates for quite some time. It simply meant "socially conscious".

Conservatives coopted it and turned it into an insult.

Except it's only an insult/rallying cry to them. The people that used woke in the first place still consider it a good thing.

It's like how "fake news" had an actual meaning at first. It meant websites (primarily) that were set up to look like news sites, but that completely made up their stories. (And that, unlike The Onion, didn't make it obvious that they were satire.) That fake news was a useful term.

Then Trump got his tiny fingers on it and turned it into a term meaning "any news that I don't like."

“We Have To Bring Religion Back Into Our Country,” Says Sexual Abuser Donald Trump

On Thursday, twice-impeached, criminally indicted, and liable for sexual abuse former President Donald Trump told a room of faith leaders in Iowa that “we have to bring religion back into our country.”

It’s unclear when or how religion exactly “left” the United States, according to Trump. As far as Christianity goes, it still is deeply baked in an array of American institutions, no less the pledge of allegiance children are forced to recite every morning in their supposedly politics-free classrooms. Moreover, we have representatives like Marjorie Taylor Greene, who proudly proclaimed to be a Christian nationalist, or Lauren Boebert, who said “I’m tired of this separation of church and state junk.”

Bring back? The founding documents are pretty explicit about the state endorsing no official religion.

Also, these hateful freaks are the reason every generation gets less and less religious, none of these fucks have the fear of God in em with how terrible they are and it makes a mockery of the idea of religion being positively transformative in any way. 

It's amazing how evangelicals have almost a literal representation of the Antichrist in front of them and that's who they worship.

Talk about pandering, Trump went golfing approximately 298 times during his presidency, attending church, 14 times and those were self fulfilling visits. Crazy how the religious right choose not see the charlatan for what he is, the golden Trump statue at CPAC a couple years was also incredibly ironic but they are too obtuse to get it.

Now that it's been decided by the legal system, I think going forward, everyone should call him "Sexual Abuser Donald Trump". It should be his title. He's earned it.
