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.

    hes one of those rare libertarians who is actually in the ideology for the social and civil reasons and seems ambivalent to the economic stuff (yes there are some principled libertarians out there, i guess edward snowden is one)

    he'd probably be happy with full economic socialism as long as there was a "civil libertarian" society underpinning it. might be why he is intrigued by Castro but i dunno. and it's not much different from most americans probably if you distilled their beliefs in a way that separated them from bourgeois politics and just ask them what they actually want, which would be some variety of economic socialism/social democracy with "live let live everyone do what makes them happy don't bother me"

    if (BIG IF) we ever get socialism with american characteristics it's going to be weird as shit
