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."

I grew up in a rural oil and gas town, it was more like 85-90%. I was still a lib-archist then, but I remember the teacher asking who we planned on voting for in our first election as adults, and literally everyone except me and my (firmly working class, but real working class, his dad was a coal miner and so was his grandpa) best friend said they’d vote for John McCain.
