This letter from Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) is a bit startling:
Dear Woke Corporate America,
I hope you are all having fun with your virtue signaling. I hope you are enjoying trying to one-up each other and showing how woke you can be, all the while believing that you are more sophisticated and morally superior to the hard-working people of this country.
You must have loved the accolades from your elitist, left-wing peers when you took the MLB All-Star Game from Georgia. What a fun day for you on Twitter. Congratulations.
Never mind that you have destroyed working people’s jobs and hurt people who haven’t worked since COVID-19 took a member of their family or destroyed their small business.
You get texts from your elitist friends praising you for your courageous stand when you support “mostly peaceful” movements that loot small businesses, set fire to government buildings, and take the lives of innocent people.
It goes on with brazen threats of what’ll happen in 2023 when the Republicans win back Congress: no more corporate welfare, etc etc.
I must say that it’ll be getting chapters in future history books all of its own.
I suppose the Republicans see their strategy of changing election laws to disadvantage non-Republican voters as possibly their last gasp before they’re forced to do normal politicking – that is, putting forth policies that the public likes, finding people who are more honorable to run, have competency, and that sort of thing.
The stuff that they’ve gradually become worse and worse at.
