    The good news is, Republicans aren’t really about pursuing wokeness as much anymore. But polling also suggests they’re much more in favor of Trump still, somehow, in spite of everything. So that’s the other shoe dropping. They’re back on their “law and order,” unless the law and order is coming down on Trump, it seems. 😂

      “Law and order” has always only meant “keep undesirables (minorities, leftists, workers) afraid and under constant threat of violence”. It has never meant “actually hold everyone equally accountable to the law”.

      There are other polls by Republicans that said wokeness is their top priority. I’m not sure what one poll does for this narrative. I’m not entirely convinced Republicans aren’t really about pursuing wokeness as much anymore.

      I think DeSantis made have hurt that movement a little by being an incompetent moron.

        I think trying to figure out their actual top priority is a fool’s errand, because they have no idea. Seriously, I don’t think today’s Republican rank and file has a firm enough grasp on reality and the issues of today to have the first clue what they actually believe about anything beyond “Trump good” and “Democrats bad.”

        It’s not even “Republicans good” anymore, because being solidly conservative, but disliking Trump, is enough to get one ousted from the party as a RINO now. The only true defining characteristic of a “Republican” today is worship of Trump.

          Just from my anecdotal experience with painfully stupid family members, it seems like the most important issue to them at any given moment is whatever the Facebook algorithm is pushing at the time. Whoever has that wrangled is really driving the narrative. They spend all their free time plugged in to Facebook seething over their perceived political enemies. Besides the fact that they’re stupid as shit, it’s pathetic and sad.

      Can the media please co-opt the term “law and order” and use it for all Trump indictment stories.
