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 bit about "wokeness" and "cancel culture" is a bit surprising to me, since I always figured his politics were closer to generic liberalism.

Honestly surprised he's going for the right wing grift as usually movie stars and wrestlers are pretty happy to try to stay on china's good side which is not going to be popular with his planned voting base.

Although at this point I can totally see chuds starting to support China to own the libs so who knows.

They're far too racist to support China even in an attempt to own the libs

Continuing to actually be super racist against Chinese people but saying Xi is a better president than Biden and calling libs racist when they try to argue seems pretty on brand to me but you're probablly right.

I'd also say they're to sexist to care about the integrity of records in women's sports or to homophobic to defend gay people but if it gives them a chance to shit on Trans people or Islam they're more than happy to hold some positions with no internal consistency.
