Why is it always implied that the Democrats are the cause of 'division' when it's the Republicans who have been hurtling to the right at light speed?

It's purely because he can't stand to do anything that might threaten his mass appeal. He is obsessed with believing that people love him and he doesn't think giving a 2024 endorsement will increase the amount of people that love him.
I think going on Fox News and whining about woke threatens his mass appeal

to be fair the systemic injustices also give them a leg down as well.

white privledge doesn't pay for free healthcare, rent, or tuition. theyll own the libs until they, and everyone else is homeless.

they perceive a current advantage, but they'd be better off with equality, just like everyone else

edit: generational wealth, a form of white privilege can obviously pay for those things.

So this is 100% a self-serving move, which is perfectly on brand for the man. When he speaks of division, he isn't talking about America, he's talking about his fan base. The racist rightwing Rock fans don't like Biden and the woke leftwing Rock fans don't like Trump, so he won't endorse either. Becoming a billionaire is more important to him than using his platform to make the country a better place.

This. The coward wants to protect his brand instead of calling out the POS who tried to overthrow our government on January 6th

Because U.S. society has this really unfortunate tendency of adopting and legitimizing right-wing narratives.

We see this also with "cancel culture" and "woke". That was shit right-wingers bitched about, the media never challenged them on it and help legitimize their narratives, then it spreads to the greater population.

Same reason so many people think "fiscally responsible" and "good for the economy" when they think of the Republican party, even though it's literally the opposite of fiscally responsible or good for the economy.

I don't know who this Cody is, however I am aware that they've been feuding, or perhaps just hyping up an upcoming fight or whatever, however I like him for this.

Wrestling is always a little behind the times in terms of fashion - partly because wrestlers tend to keep a "look" for branding and marketing purposes, since a big part of wresting is creating that persona.

I still have no idea what woke culture actually is

Best I can guess is that it's the culture of ruining the childhood of men and women who take gender roles seriously.

I was then, the most followed man in the world, and am today, and I appreciate that but what that caused was something that tears me up in my guts which is division.
Right here is when I tuned out.

If you dislike division, you don't vote Trump, endorse Trump, or refuse to endorse his opponent, period.

But I get it. The Rock is rich, so you have to find a way to vote for your self interests without making it look like you're just voting for your self interests.

Plus, the whole idea of democrats causing division is bushit anyway.

Democrat position : "We want LGBTQ and minorities to have the same rights as everyone else."

Republican position: "LGBTQ and minorities are groomers and pedophiles and rapists and criminals, respectively, and we will do our damndest to eliminate them from society."

Braindead rich fuckheads like the Rock: "It's woke's fault we're so divided!" *counts republican tax cuts while rubbing his own nipples*

I'm all for that. My beef is 1) Why he decided to go on FOX News of all places and 2) When he started complaining about woke culture it made him sound all "OK Boomer" especially since he has always been a pretty progressive person in the past.

What an incredibly daft and insensible thing for him to say.

It is your DUTY to take a stand and make your voice heard if you are someone who believes yourself to have any kind of influence in the world. If you are blessed enough to have a platform on which you can make a stand for the right causes and issues, it is your responsibility to take advantage of that. Look at all the heroes and activists the world over who we cherish and have given their lives for just causes so YOU as a minority can enjoy the success that you do now?

Pathetically weak move and he ought to be ashamed of himself.
This 100%.
