    Making it more apparent the reason why they’re banning books, attacking librarians and destroying education. They’re scared. DeSantis, just like Trump and the rest of the Republican Party are just pussys masquerading as tough guys.

      I like pussies. I don’t like those people. We need to find a better word for them.

        Patriot or something. The goal is to appropriate a word they use as a positive term and make it derogatory like they did to woke. For bonus points incorporate an arm or hand gesture to mock them they’ve done with gay men for almost a century.

        I say a specific type of salute while uttering “patriot” or “he’s a patriot”. Only problem is having to make that disgusting gesture to get a point across.
