Speaking to host Will Cain, Johnson revealed that he's not happy with the state of America right now, highlighting "wokeness" and "cancel culture" as contributing to a division in the country that really bugs him.

“I’m not a politician. I’m not into politics," he says. "I care deeply about our country. I’m a patriot, and I believe you are too, as well. And right now, my desire and my priorities are my babies and school drop-offs and pickups — that’s important to me."

He is running.

For all that I hear about wokeness, I don't think I've seen any wokeness besides brown people being cast in movies and shows I don't watch. However, I have seen 10,000 people moan and moan about wokeness. I don't even know my toaster's gender?! Did you just assume my gender?! Bold of you to assume I'm a man! But I've never encountered the screaming banshees they hate. I had a friend with an ex who was she/they and a bat out of hell. That's really it though

Do people even still get cancelled? Last one that comes to mind was that god awful Sonic render and every month Jamflex does something to Runescape people don't like
