For fascists, demonstrating blatant hypocrisy is a way to flex their power. They’re not ashamed of it; on the contrary, they revel in rubbing it in our faces.
It’s so infuriating because those first 2 things technically are woke in the original sense of the phrase. It was never supposed to have a negative connotation, it just meant having your eyes open to the ways of the world and having a discussion about how to improve them for everyone. How did we let that get twisted into something we want to avoid at all costs?
But you see one of them is about erasing ingenious peoples history (the Mexica/Aztec) - where the other is about forcing PoC to look at racial stereotypes - so one is cool and fun and the other is woke and bad 😤
Freedom fries have entered the chat
If I remember correctly the freedom fries became a thing when the French criticized Bushes war in Iraq.

People that think Trump turned the republicans party into the garbage pile that it is will be surprised to know it started much earlier than that. Trump just recognized he could use this garbage pile to gain power.
