of CEOs are pro fascism and playing dumb vs. those really aghast at the attack on democracy? This 'New Right' movement seemingly jettisons big tech and big business in favour of the working (white) man. Majorities of Americans want corporations to pay their share of taxes. The 'New Right' are against progressivism and globalism. The New Right are gunning for liberal and Democratic (white male) voters who don't like Globalism and feel aggrieved at how far they have fallen. The New Right are blaming all elites. We've seen Americans buy into bullshit for decades. Will DeSantis fight with Disney and Abbott stopping international trade convince liberals and Democrats that the GOP really is pro worker? How do we counter this? Fighting loud for unions would be one way. Ridicule the notion that CEOs have no party this time around. The opposite of woke is not anti-woke it is ASLEEP. Biden's meme could be "WAKE UP! They're stealing Democracy and its building blocks right out from under you".

Here is something on the 'New right':

Here is the What Matters email that inspired me:

"SNIP......

WHAT MAYTERS

by Zachary B. Wolf

: Let's start with Florida vs. Disney

There’s a bizarre metamorphosis happening in American politics as culture takes over the conversation: Republican politicians are choosing the war on “wokeness” over the friendliness to big business that was their guiding light for decades.

Florida Republicans are on the cusp of a whirlwind effort to punish Disney for its opposition to a law many consider to be anti-LGBTQ.

Meanwhile, in Texas, the governor is threatening he could use his power once again to slow border traffic with arguably unnecessary safety inspections to make a point about immigration.

These various political statements have consequences for LGBTQ kids, parents and teachers in Florida schools; for people in Orlando who might feel an increased tax burden; and potentially for all the Americans who get food or products that cross the southern border.
