Ron DeSantis and the War on Woke

Richard Thau: “DeSantis has a choice to make as he inches towards a presidential run: Either consume a lot of time and resources educating voters on the evils of ‘wokeism,’ or stress another issue position that would more intuitively bring swing voters to his side. Attacking the woke may stir the base, but our evidence indicates it may not be that helpful in winning the center.”

“When Governor DeSantis declares, ‘Florida is where woke goes to die,’ many of these swing voters have no clue what ideology he’s trying to bury.”
