@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."

Suburburban and city yard

A small tract of circumscribed territory where each owner of this tiny plot, once a week or so, walks it's entirety for an hour howling at the top of his lungs to mark his territory. He also delineates at least three borders of his yard with a urine fence on its exact borders.
