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.

Kinda weird, while I never thought he had any leftist tendencies, he seemed to speak out against toxic masculinity, the idea that men can’t be vulnerable. Wonder what exactly he’s thinking of with “cancel culture” and “wokeness.”

Isn't this the guy who has stipulates in his movie contracts that he can never lose a fight

He’s lost fights in movies before, although that may be a more recent stipulation. His movies are pretty cookie cutter these days regardless so there’s little reason to change them up.

You're thinking of Vin Diesel

He's been this way about "political correctness" and "wokeness" for at least a few years now tbh
