Woke or joke? Trying to feel the pain of straight, white men

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/opinion/woke-or-joke-desantis-is-trying-to-keep-straight-white-men-like-me-perpetually-angry/ar-AA16vEgx?pc=U483&cvid=35667d5bde4f4ea8885c65e6d1ad0d99

Most recently, the perpetual DeSantis campaign took credit for scuttling a National Hockey League job fair next month in South Florida that had been directed at recruiting “diverse job seekers who are pursuing careers in hockey.”

“NHL: You are officially on notice about your planned events in Florida,” DeSantis’ political spokesperson Christina Pushaw tweeted. “Unlawful discrimination will not be tolerated.”

Yes, it’s high time for white guys to have a presence in ice hockey. We will not be taking any seats in the back of the Zamboni.

Had a very hard time trying to read the damn thing to my husband without laughing! Cracked him up all through the (attempted) reading.

Fuck white supremacists and fuck Ron DeSantis. Unlawful discrimination? That's a good one.

5. I, as a white man, am glad someone like DeSantis is in office to protect my rights.

Finally, someone who understands the plight of the white man in today’s society. I cannot tell you of the horror of women now making almost 85 cents to the dollar I make. And don’t get me started at not having the government regulating my genitals and not restricting my voting rights. And when I get pulling over by the police, the terror of the officer giving me only a warning instead of gunning me down for no reason has me breaking out in sweat.

It’s been a real living hell, but no more. DeSantis will change things so white men like me we be back on top.
