Governor Woke Smoke’s $campaign:
singing Dr. Goebbels Greatest Hits
Governor Woke Smoke croons—Intentionally Loud—
Serving silent 1% pickpockets… working the crowd…
Right to work/low wage state—“Where woke goes to die”
Homeless, and in poor health—‘living’ Goebbels’ Big Lie!
$campaign funding from richest, most rightist directions
for $election suppression and fueling fascist insurrections—

with wage-thieving, low-wage, non-union/dead-end jobs?

Calling, “Next!” for the drones, bombs, missiles and planes!
