Republican Congress is so bereft of ideas it's looking to start an 'anti-woke caucus'

1 year ago 41

Maybe because “political correctness” has too many syllables and “reverse discrimination” was too obviously ridiculous, the new term the conservative movement (with a big media assist from libertarian millionaire influencers like Glenn Greenwald and Joe Rogan) have settled on is “woke.” It’s a four-letter word that conservatives and libertarians everywhere can wrap themselves in to insulate themselves from reconciling their bigoted ideas about the LGBTQ community and their terrorizing of children, their racism against non-white folks, and their misogyny against their own mothers and daughters. It is easy to spell and it is super easy to pronounce—I mean “say.” It can also be utilized to undermine any and all opposition to their policy-deficient agenda.

On Friday, Republican Rep. Jim Banks announced his plans to run in 2024 for governor of Indiana. The Republican representative from the Hoosier State is first out of the gate in a race that many believe will be filled with other conservatives. But Banks has his whole policy-absent catchall ready to go: He’s promising to form an “anti-woke caucus” in Congress just in time for him to run for election. What will this newly formed redundant Republican exercise do? Anti-woke stuff, you silly billy! At least, finding microphones into which to say anti-woke stuff.
