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.

the way normies talk about politics is just so stupid, I don't even know how to talk to them. I was listening to two people in my class talk the other day and they were saying "I hate how divisive politics is these days, it's like team sports. why can't they all just come together to do stuff? we just need more choices! Trump shouldn't be running because he's a criminal, I love Nikki Haley they should have run her instead!"

This is always hilarious to hear because when they do come together to get stuff done we get stuff like the patriot act, end of net neutrality, and more private prisons.

Turns out not even being able to articulate a political agenda is a shortcoming and you dont want politicians just doing things for the sake of it.

Also libs talking about Hailey like she's a moderate compared to Trump is a really strong argument that not everybody should have the right to vote. They have the exact same agenda but Hailey will actually pursue it for 5 minutes before getting bored and spending the afternoon coming up with a new way to grift the base.

100%, Hailey is so clearly worse than Trump. It’s crazy watching people think she’s a sensible moderate

But she's a woman so she's inherently more political (read: woke) than alternatives
