It’s a rare talent, for a politician’s actions to appear both chilling and silly at the same time. Gov. Ron DeSantis — who from the start has built his personal political brand by resurrecting and weaponizing bigotry that most people believed had been laid to rest —pulls it off regularly.
But he hit a new benchmark with a recent speech, which he wrapped up with a polemic featuring his favorite word, one he apparently assumes Floridians don’t know the meaning of.
The word, of course, is “woke.”
