I came across this opinion piece about the fascist FL governor and I thought it pretty much defines this dipshit. I might even post this on the LNF forum just to piss off the cultists.

:D Thanks. In case you can use it, here's my DerSantis' fascism list (with a little help from your op-ed):

Killed tens of thousands of excess Floridians due to rotten pandemic management;
Imposed Big Brother on schools, local govt and businesses' pandemic choices;
Ongoing COVIDiocy;
Shoves Big Brother's filthy hand into the wombs of millions of women;
Imposes Big Brother on school curriculum and reading materials choices;
Implements racist voter suppression;
Kidnaps immigrants from Texas that had fled Venezuelan communism and human trafficks them to other states;
Cowering from the press;
Civil rights leader for us beleaguered straight, White males;
Fanboy of wannabe dictator Former PINO, his creator;
And so on.
Just stay angry like the op ed talks about. It's the only way to battle these nitwits. Not enough fish to slap them all. Not enough boots to stomp them all. I'm confident they'll stomp and fish slap themselves before this is over.

There are reasons that Florida turned fairly solid red under Scott and continues in overdrive under DeSantis.

The sure can't recognize a dead horse.
Ron DeSantis
stated on January 17, 2023 in a press conference:
"Almost every study now has said with these new boosters, you're more likely to get infected with the bivalent booster."


Image

... The governor's press office responded to PolitiFact's inquiry about the claim shortly after publication, citing two articles and three studies, two of which are not yet peer reviewed. The most recent came from the Cleveland Clinic and was discussed in an opinion article in The Wall Street Journal.

Dr. Nabin Shrestha, an infectious disease physician and one of the study's authors, told PolitiFact that the data did not find a link between the bivalent shot and a higher risk of contracting COVID-19. The early conclusion was the opposite of what DeSantis said: The dose is, in fact, effective in preventing infection....

We rate DeSantis' claim False.
:---P

Wtf is Fascist DerSantis doing? He's already established himself as a preeminent COVIDiot. He gains nothing by spewing even more deadly stupidity.

:roll: Meanwhile:
While Ron DeSantis Is Fighting Culture Wars, Millions Of Floridians Are Losing Their Health Care
The Florida governor's record of opposing Medicaid expansion — and other initiatives to expand coverage — deserves more attention than it's getting


... But DeSantis has some other governing responsibilities, too. One of them is looking out for the health and economic well-being of Florida residents, including those who can’t pay for medical care on their own because they don’t have insurance.

Florida has quite a lot of them ― nearly 2.6 million as of 2021, according to the most recent U.S. census figures. That’s about 12% of its population, which is well above the national average of 8.6%. It’s also more than all but four other states.

Floridians without insurance suffer because when they can’t pay for their medical care, they end up in debt or go without needed treatment or both. The state suffers, too, because it ends up with a sicker, less productive workforce as well as a higher charity care load for its hospitals, clinics and other pieces of the medical safety net....

The non-expansion states all have Republican governors or legislatures or both, and are nearly all in the Deep South. They represent the last line of resistance against Obamacare, which Republicans have spent more than a decade fighting and, famously, came very close to repealing in 2017....

When COVID-19 hit, the federal government offered states extra money to fund Medicaid as long as states agreed not to disenroll anybody who joined or was already on the program ― on the theory that in the midst of a public health emergency, the overwhelming priority was maximizing the number of people with insurance.

That arrangement is about to end. States will have a year to go through their Medicaid enrollment files, removing anybody who cannot reestablish their eligibility. And in every state, significant numbers of people are likely to lose coverage ― in some cases simply because they aren’t aware their coverage is in jeopardy or because they can’t make their way through a complex, confusing process their state has put in place....

Florida just announced its plan and, according to Joan Alker, executive director of Georgetown University’s Center for Children and Families, the state seems intent on pushing ahead quickly even though its own projections suggest 1.75 million Floridians could lose insurance as a result....

Florida makes me sad. It's been over four years since I set foot in the Sunshine State; I have no direct connection at all anymore except that the UM alumni moneygrubbers keep begging and I keep in touch with some of my former colleagues in the firm. I don't have any kids who'll be going to school there; I don't know anybody who's likely to need an abortion there. I'm not going to be sick there and whatever DeSantis does or doesn't do doesn't affect me directly in any way. But I spent a lot of good years of my life as a Floridian and, with few complaints mostly loved it. As far as I can tell, that Florida doesn't exist anymore. A reliably red state that would re-elect DeSantis and not only let him get by with, but support stuff that is clearly detrimental to the state and citizenry by any definition. Makes me root for the hurricanes to wipe it up - billy.p's house excluded, of course.

And to all who see Florida as something you can ignore because you see Florida as something separate. If DeSantis beats trump, do you really think Biden has a chance.

IMO front runners often flop in the primaries, TRE45QN could win the primaries or make an Independent run out of spite, and Fascist DerSantis has already gone too extreme to win a general. But, it's dangerous to overestimate the American voter.

trump losing the Primary and forming a third Party is the only chance I see for the Dems. Let's all hope that trump splits the repugs.

And we all laughed at the thought of a trump win in the Primary and we laughed even harder at the idea of him becoming President.

Dunno, the country loudly and soundly rejected trump.

Besides possibly being a primary flop he's nowhere near battle tested on a big stage and national vetting is different than on a statewide level. There's a decent chance he'll wilt or implode. I get the sense he's more man child than not.

Plus the record Desantis is compiling is going to be easy to run against and painting him as the second coming will be easy.

This shit might be playing in Peoria at this moment in time, but it's just going to motivate Dems in 2024 if he makes it that far. Biden may be the anyone but trump president but any sane electable dem should be able to take him out too.
