@coluber2001,
Jun 25, 2023 Gov. Ron DeSantis has toured the country calling Florida the place "where woke goes to die."

"Woke is a slang term that is easing into the mainstream from some varieties of a dialect called African American Vernacular English (sometimes called AAVE). In AAVE, awake is often rendered as woke, as in, 'I was sleeping, but now I'm woke.'."

I suppose it's somewhat synonymous with the black term, "soul," not a soul but "soul."

@izzythepush,
Yeah, that too.

Mary Trump called woke "basic human decency."
With that definition in mind, Florida is where basic human decency goes to die.

bloviate
blō′vē-āt″

To discourse at length in a pompous or boastful manner.

This morning on "This Week," ABC News' George Will called Donald Trump a "bloviating ignoramus," questioning why presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney is associating with the real estate mogul, who once again falsely questioned President Obama's birthplace this week."
--Jake Tapper
