Remember: #ETTD?

Everything Trump Touches Dies. You will, of course, also remember the lessons we’ve been reporting for months. The Right is incapable of coming up with their own memes and simply borrow those from the last administration, Obama Derangement Syndrome became Trump Derangement Syndrome (To be fair, Trump provided plenty of reasons for people to be deranged).

In another similar move, except one vastly more offensive, impacting entire races and movement, Trump is now hawking (drifting) the Red Hats, by selling t-shirts that reference being “woke” as turning things to sh*t. We find it important to reiterate that with respect to high school kids and younger, being “woke” simply means being aware of America’s real past, the ravages of slavery.

So, of course, the Red Hats are prepared to mock it while making money off it. From LGBTQ Nation:

But the de facto head of the GOP may have sunk to a new low, selling “Everything woke turns to sh*t” t-shirts a few months after marketing “WOKE” shirts to Black voters.

Speaking at a rally in Alabama where the former President decried liberals and Biden’s plans to rebuild the American economy and infrastructure, Trump told the crowd, being woke is a “shortcut to losing everything we have.”

We are one weak-ass nation if a simple educational formula that attempts to teach our kids the real history of race relations in this country and how they play out even today is a “shortcut to losing everything we have.” It sounds to us like Trump isn’t referring to the nation itself, he’s referring to white people and being “woke” to all the injustices that might cost white people all those precious advantages they have. (We use “they” because we don’t include ourselves within that group of white people, fearful of a plural society.)

“Do you think that General Patton was woke?” Trump asked. “I don’t think he was too woke. I think he was the exact opposite.”

We think that General Patton, like every General since Truman signed an order desegregating the military, would want the strongest fighting force he could get, which would include the strongest Americans from every race, creed, color, and orientation. Patton would not support raising money off the U.S. military for one man’s benefit.
