Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for August 20, 2023

Truth is woke

Too bad the laborers couldn’t form a union.

Shows how completely unfit for office some people are and America has that in spades. Only dictatorships can match some of the morons you’ve elected.

…aside from the obvious schism between abolitionists and anti-abolitionists, economic factors, both domestic and international…

Republicans will not be able to grasp either subject of this cartoon.

Is there a definition of Woke that I can refer to so I can know whether the Stepford Governor is on the right track?

Here’s hoping Christie has a shot. Three DeSantis post is a bit of hyperbole, but from taking to teachers in that area I get the impression it’s not much of one.

That wormy little guv isn’t going to get the nomination. He’s going to really be pissy when he has to go back to wrecking florida.

Cons have been denouncing any form of social consciousness since forever. “Woke” is simply an old phenomenon with a new title.

Florida has experienced a population boom since the end of WWII. Judging from quality of their politicians (and their citizens in general), it appears not too high a percentage of those who migrated south could be described as the “best and brightest”.

Free thinking is woke, has Desantis found Snowball yet? Napoleon wants to know for the Animal Farm.

Unlike some slaves who learned skills they could when they were freed, todays students are not learning the skills they will need in the future

Just like I’ve been saying. The Woke and the Alt-right are more alike that either are willing to admit.

Is it my opinion(s) of Christie that keep changing, or the man himself? IMHO Christie was a good prosecutor, then he was a decent governor, then his dirty tricks came out, followed by becoming a stooge for the Big Cheeto. He seemed to develop a little integrity and now appears to be one of the few Republicans who’ll say the (would-be) emperor has no clothes.

No, the whites lost. They continued to be backwards, hateful, abusive, self-centered, self-important fools.

“Woke” is a “Joke”, just like DeathSatan. When you are nothing more then a punchline, it’s time to get out of the race.

And yes, Roland really IS that clueless…5th panel…

If you’re not “woke”, you’re sleeping…

DeSatan has repeatedly to start “splitting throats” including “woke” generals his first day in office.

74 Million Snowflakes, is this what you want?:

Many southerners screamed about anti-slavery rhetoric when this nation was founded (early woke?). Some haven’t stopped with their racism since although they try to cloak it in “reasonable” arguments.

GOP debate … A battle of wits, between unarmed opponents

YOU ARE GONNA PAY FOR BEING A WOKE SMART PERSON! WE WILL MAKE AMERICA DUMB AGAIN! or even dumber!

A true Desantis classroom wouldn’t have a black kid in it.

DuhSantis signed a law making it illegal for a parent to call a child by a nickname without parental permission. This is true.

I remember the ‘60s. Riots and such. The name Watts comes to mind. Ohio State is in there too. I still don’t know what “woke” means, but I remember the E.R.A., draft dodgers, flower power, LSD, VD, AIDS, and a lot of other stuff we survived. Life endures, even if living is hard. Have a wonderful, day just to show ’em we can.

So sick and tired of DeSantis and his woke, woke, woke.My second most desire is that one day soon DeSantis will not woke.

Look it up. Woke means awake. As in conscious, aware of what’s going on. Not woke means asleep, as in unconscious, as in not aware of what’s going on. Why would DeSantis prefer the voters to be asleep? Pretty obvious, isn’t it?

Just a side note: police-involved shootings are up every year under DeSantis.

Sadly, according to a couple of friends of mine who are still hanging on in Florida and attempting to teach, despite DeSantis, today’s cartoon is very close to the truth.

Not very satirical today, is it?

Jesus was woke, republicans hate that.

My question: why is the media STILL giving airtime to Puddingfingers? Isn’t Christie now beating him 3% to 1%??? I think the ONLY people still supporting ole’ Meatball are the preteen girls he stole his shoe fashion from.

You can redefine “woke” but you cannot stop truth. If they don’t get it in the classroom, they will get it in the streets along with suspicion, intolerance and violence. A man who tries to suppress history will be quickly forgotten by it.

The current drought can be traces back to the new DeSantis law outlawing RAIN, just in case there might be a rainbow.

when there is war, there is no victor

i started high school in RI, and our desks had graffiti from the Civil War on them

DeSantis must have had someone take his exams for him, he’s far too ignorant to get a degree or have passed a bar. Someone should tell him he was born only a very short few years before Italians were white.

“woke”, much like ‘politically correct’, is simply showing consideration for your fellow American. conservatives try to demonize those terms. Do conservatives oppose showing consideration, or just oppose Americans?

This is not the tune Christie was singing the last go around (see Doonesbury 04/03/2016)

Yep, totally a place for normal people that will make them become abnormal.

The Republican definition of “woke” is simple: “Woke” is anything that doesn’t let straight white Christian Americans feel superior to others just by being straight white Christian Americans. These people don’t love America; they’re in love with themselves for being American, and they have a kneejerk hatred for anything which threatens that.

.

Also, DeSantis has threatened to leave illegal immigrants “stone cold dead at the border”. How long before he decides that’s how he should handle his enemies inside the border?

Any kid who grew up in the South in the 50’s through the 70’s knows darn well that the War between the States was a “war of economic sanction against the South” or a “war of Northern aggression”. I learned this “fact” in every grade I was in, 1st through 12th. I also remember being asked in first grade what I wanted to be when I grew up. I had two answers 1) a zoo keeper or 2) a horse breeder. I was gently laughed at and told girls couldn’t do such things and then given the choice of 1) teacher 2) secretary 3) nurse, until I got married. Machine learning designer/ Human factors in design (which is one of the things I became) wasn’t on the list. So they were sort of right. I didn’t become a zoo keeper or a horse breeder. Though my husband will tell you I have a zoo… In case it isn’t clear, I do NOT AGREE with the “Lost Cause”. I just grew up with it.

Go back 100 years, give or take a few, and people named “DeSantis” weren’t “White” either.

The anti-Woke crowd are the same folks who offer, “Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap”

Not often he gets a two-fer. Nobody had any doubt who Christie was talking about and no one would have any doubt where the last panel was taking place.

From appearances, you might think that.

If you’re not woke, you’re asleep and missing all the interesting times.

To be fair to Ronnie those white boots are very common on shrimp boats in the Gulf (not that I believe that he’s ever set foot on a shrimp boat)

Wait a minute. Doesn’t calling it a “Controversial Labor Practice” violate moRon DeSatan’s law about making white kids uncomfortable?

Did the Whites win? Yes…and no.

The next civil war is coming up. The war between the civil and the uncivil.

There is something humorous about “Did the whites win?” I haven’t looked at a Doonesbury comic in decades. I found a sodden-wet Sunday paper on the sidewalk, dried it out, there was Doonesbury. I checked a little history. If you’d asked me what the strip is about, I’d have mentioned when President Bush, Sr., was presented as an invisible man. I suspect all humor is unintentional. The clown is the butt of all the clown’s jokes: that’s what clowns do for us.
