Trump's War On Reality Won't End Well

[skews13]

So begins a federal court order striking Trump’s Third Reich-inspired “Stop WOKE” Act in Florida, variations of which have spread through the US like a nasty airborne disease.

Invoking George Orwell’s dystopian novel 1984, U.S. District Court Judge Mark Walker slammed Stop WOKE, the authoritarian movement afoot in many US states to forcibly impose the tenets of far right, white nationalism on classrooms, universities, and corporate boardrooms. Since then, a total of 14 states have successfully passed 20 anti-DEI laws, part of Trump’s broader nationwide push; over 80 anti-DEI bills and hundreds of educational gag orders have been introduced across the country since 2023.

As long as the First Amendment stands, a state cannot “muzzle its university professors, impose its own orthodoxy of viewpoints, and cast us all into the dark.”

Trump's all-out assault on reality won't end well

“It was a bright cold day in April, the clocks were striking thirteen, and the powers in charge of (a State) public university system have declared the State has unfettered authority to muzzle its professors in the name of ‘freedom’….” So begins a federal court order striking Trump’s Third...

Funny you think this is the end of anything…

Funny you think this is the end of anything…

That federal judge does, and it is absolutely funny.

Just not for you. Enjoy the woke world you live in, complete with a First Amendment that prevents you from doing anything about it.

Now that's some funny shit right there.

What’s this 1st Amendment you speak of?

In addition to book banning, Trump’s anti-WOKE initiatives impose state mandates on speech, dictating how certain topics must be discussed in academic and employment settings as well as in national parks.

In education, anti-WOKE laws impose state control over classroom instruction about gender and race, including America’s history of slavery, the Jim Crow era and its aftermath, and other systems originating in an assumption of racial inferiority long since passed. In employment, stop WOKE laws prohibit corporations from conducting diversity training, seminars, or discussions to promote equality.

Stop WOKE laws in the corporate setting do not just denigrate affirmative action, they endorse white male superiority by banning discussion of any counter-narrative. All such initiatives will be struck down, nationwide, wherever they are challenged, by long standing First Amendment jurisprudence.

It's authoritarian governance 101. After railing against the curtailment of free speech expressions by conservatives giving talks on college campuses, the trump regime attempted to mute any discussion at all it disagrees with, in every venue possible including individual classrooms, by law.

Florida is due for a really big rebound to sanity over the next decade. You take old as shit people and align them with backwards as fck hicks you end up with 55% of Florida. The population growth of Florida is diluting that marriage of evil. Tick Tock.

Regardless of the issue or the targeted organization involved, we'll continue to see Trump issuing threats, punishments when possible, and the picking of winners and losers.

That is across the board, too, including literally buying into publicly-traded companies. You can't pick winners and losers more blatantly than that. And the press? We're seeing that play out in real time, as well.

This is who and what he is, and he has no one around him telling him no this time. This is textbook neofascism.
