Walker's attacks on Warnock are disgusting.

The fact is that all that some ungodly large proportion of the people he's talking to need to hear is "woke" (he's against that" and "readin' and writin'" (he's for that, and only that). They don't need the details; they can fill those in themselves. All they need to know is that he's against the evil people they've been told to hate.

That's how communication works when you come in with confirmation bias. This is how all fucking politicians get elected.
This is the first thing he's said that doesn't sound like gibberish. I got it. Kids should be learning the 3 Rs or whatever, but instead they're learning to be "woke," which is gay or whatever. ("Woke" means to to be empathetic and kind to all, but hey.) With "woke' thrown in, he's made a point. Whether he knows what the point is is questionable.

The key words and vague references to R talking points are in all his otherwise incoherent speeches. As such he does his job and gets the point across. Cf, the clean air goes to China = why should we bother about climate change when the rest of the world doesn't? There's always a point that he's trying to get across; he's just constitutionally unable to do so with either complete sentences or actual argument.

Okay, the "bending the bike" was just sad--though even there you can unravel the syntax and the homophones to discover that what he's saying is that he's not gonna kowtow to anyone.

Brilliant. Simply brilliant.

Yes, everyone agrees the Founding Fathers apologized for the country's whiteness. I learned about that in school.

In the same class where you learned no one can be a natural born citizen if both their parents weren’t citizens before they were born?

Who the hell is feeding him this shit?

And does he even remotely realize it's shit and they are purposely making him look like a House N....r and taking him for a ride?

Doesn't he have and black friends with enough clarity to knock some sense into him?

He has some very expensive consultants who fretted for a while about what to do with him. Seems like now they are just giving him trigger words and he just inserts them into the stuff he would usually say

Just my arrogant opinion, but I think they like the word salad. It mimics their orange messiah and triggers the libs. Maybe they think he's speaking in tongues?

No, he speaks in a disjointed way that appeals to people who have never picked up the skill of listening. They hear buzzwords and think he is talking great, as all they can pick out of speeches are random words anyway.

I'm not sure he deliberately settled on this but he did a lot of speaking engagements before this while he was in his "Maybe I will run for President?" phase, which lasted decades, and he learned to talk in a way that works with his audience.
