His message will certainly appeal to Trumpers. Whether he can use it to lure enough of them to jump ship remains to be seen
Florida, he declaims at every opportunity, “is where woke goes to die.” In a speech Friday in Davenport, Iowa’s third-largest city, he invoked Winstonand the war against naziism in his address, declaring, “We will fight the woke in the legislature. We will fight the woke in education. We will fight the woke in the businesses. We will never, ever surrender to the woke mob.”
It’s a beguiling strategy that calculates there are enough voters among the great unwashed who’ve had enough of cultural warfare, even if they’re wary of saying so, and are ripe for an end to it. DeSantis’s message will certainly appeal to Trumpers. Whether he can use it to lure enough of them to jump ship remains to be seen, but there’s plenty of evidence to suggest many former Trump voters are ready to move on.
“Part of it is everybody knows that Trump can do it, but Trump needs to learn when to keep his mouth shut,” Kerri Baumer, a 42-year-old mother of two,NBC News. “So people really steer away from that because they’re nervous because of what he’s going to say versus what he’s doing for us.” The real challenge may be if DeSantis can attract sympathizers among moderates, independents and even Democrats who regret their party’s wholesale embrace of identity politics, even if they fear speaking out could produce career consequences or social media evisceration. Wokeism’s strength relies to considerable degree in its ability to intimidate; DeSantis obviously hopes to benefit for positioning himself as the man who won’t be intimidated.
