By Hialy Gutierrez

…est-known is the “Stop Woke Act” in Florida. These bills, which came out in 2021 in direct response to the Black Lives Matter protests, copy-paste large parts of Trump’s Executive Order 13950 which banned trainings around racial stereotyping in the federal government.

…tics among those who had once been politically dominant but now find themselves in decline. Citizens organizing themselves into an identity-based faction in this way has historically been a warning sign that large scale political violence may be in the offing.
