In a couple of recent speeches he referred to a "woke cabal" or a "liberal cabal". I looked it up in the Googlepedia. Second hit was from the anti-definition league. Substitute the word "Jews". It's a reference to the kabbelah, which is some sort of mystical interpretation of the Bible. Charles Dickens used it in the current sinister meaning.

Huh. I had no idea it originally referred to the kabbalah. I though it just meant a conspiratorial group. I'd bet DeSantis didn't know it either; just wanted something a bit sinister-sounding."For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations,

Cabal, Woke, BLM, LGBT, CRT, Communism, Fascism ==BAD SHT. That's all there is, all the meaning these deplorables are able to attach to the terms on the left. No need to go into detail, just know that these are all simply labels for BAD SHT!!! That is the definition of each of these terms. Not really very mind-boggling that Trump would denigrate "woke fascist communists." That pretty much says it all. As DeSantis is legislating in Florida: we don't need no education. They don't know what they're talking about? Not their problem.“Aren’t you supposed to be the gentlemen who lie for the good of their country?”
“That’s diplomats. We’re not gentlemen.”
“So you lie to save your hides.”
That’s politicians. Different game entirely.”Comment

i dunno, a problem with desantis is that he plays the common 'right wing' man, but he graduated from yale magna cum laude and his juris doctorate is from harvard law (which aint no joke) cum laude; his intelligence shouldn't be under estimated. . .Last edited by Paul Pless; 05-16-2023, 02:32 PM.Simpler is better, except when complicated looks really cool.Comment

A lot of very stupid people wend their way through both Harvard, and Yale.
Look at Dubya, just as a for instance.Comment

I am looking for a reference - Did I hear that DeSantis is sending Florida troops to the TEXAS border ?

desantis doesn't know how to laugh. an empty husk.
he is forced and phony, no instinct, too obviously triangulating, restraining impulses, not capable of just being himself. in personality, just about the polar opposite of trump. i don't think desantis is going anywhere.Comment
