DeSantis 'woke' White House: "Get down from the car" (bajarse del carro), not, "get out of the car" [1]

Where ‘woke’ goes to be super-bloated and past normal life expectancy. Spanglish Only could come with Ron DeSantis to the White House instead of his now-fired fascist speechwriter. Meatball Ron is all about eroding his political position like sad pigeon English, and promoting inconsistency and irrationality as the feature rather than the bug of his misshapen primary campaign as ‘narrative’ displaces ‘woke’ in its white rubber reboot.
(2021)
Not surprisingly, DeSantis and his apologists have been stung into feverish action. What is surprising is how inconsistent and irrational their efforts to deny reality and deflect blame have been.
In fact, they have been conducting a clinic in informal logical fallacies. DeSantis’ press secretary Christina Pushaw, to cite just one example, tweeted that Florida is not going to take the path of California’s mask mandates, because “... lockdowns have destroyed small businesses, decimated the middle class & kept kids out of school for going on 2 years.” This not very subtle sleight of hand, which is an impermissible dialectical shift, equates masking with lockdowns, and then attacks lockdowns, which, even if her premises are true, produces a false conclusion, as no one is proposing lockdowns in Florida. Or in California, for that matter.
DeSantis himself recently rolled out a big ol’ red herring combined with an appeal to emotion — specifically, white fright — when he blamed undocumented immigrants crossing the southern border for the rising wave of delta variant COVID infections. In case your memory fails you, this is a return to the tried and true Trump trope of diseased, brown skinned invaders.
