New polling shows national Republicans and Iowa Republican caucusgoers were more interested in “law and order” than battling “woke” schools, media and corporations.

    Hate, anger and the church pulpit are the main things that drive a right wing voter.

    The word may change, as it has many times in the past, but the emotion behind it will never be abandoned.

      Yeah, there’s absolutely nothing new about the war on “wokeness”, they just swap out the names every now and then

      The PC Mob

      The radical left

      Antifa

      SJWs

      Socialists

      Communists

      They all mean the same thing in this context, but they know that people tire of specifics quickly, so they keep changing labels. I guess this study means that they’ll likely pick a new word for the boogeyman soon

      It’s not even the church pulpit. It’s whatever shit they’re spewing on YouTube, newsmax, OAN, truth social, etc.

        Some “church” pulpits are helping spew that stuff, too. (Not all churches, and I’d go so far as to say not real churches. Political campaign theaters masquerading as religious institutions.)
