Abstract

The article discusses the continuity between Florida Governor Ron DeSantis's anti-wokeism campaign and earlier purity campaigns against civil rights activists and homosexuals. It mentions that Ron's focus on freedom instead of safety and security is a shift that underscores the political lesson learned by conservatives from leftist revolutions. It highlights the metonymy created by Harvey Milk, connecting "gay," "freedom," and "America."
