Ron DeSantis’s flailing campaign team couldn’t let Pride month pass without stepping on their own dick.

    This is Adolf Eichmann levels of evil.

    Does he think we learned nothing from history? Does he think we are going to stand by and let him take power after repeatedly showing us who he really is?

    I can’t believe people in Florida aren’t marching by now.

      They tried to make it a felony to protest in Florida and DeSantis just veto’d a change to the law that would let people expunge arrest records when charges are dropped. So if you try to march you get arrested, probably not charged, but that felony arrest record follows you forever. Makes life way more difficult for you.

      People in Florida fall into three categories, the beach goers, the drinkers, and those that hide in their houses from the heat in their air conditioning, so most people tend to not want to go protest, and many side with DeFascist.

      Also, DeFascist signed anti-protest laws back a few years back to counter the BLM protests, it’s very easy for an activist to catch a felony in Florida, and we need the votes more than we need protesters rn.

        As a Floridian beach/park goer who is totally fed up with DeSantis’ bullshit, I gotta say nothing gives me more satisfaction than to vote Democrat every election. Marching and protesting will do little to nothing here, we have to quash this fascism with our votes. Desantis hit poor black voters with felonies over fraudulent voter fraud charges (the charges brought had no merit) so I have no doubt he would mobilize police forces to give out felonies to any and all Dem voters that march or protest. I’m gonna rip this cancer out from the inside.

      To be honest, I think people will just sit by and do nothing, even as their neighbors get killed over this.

      I really don’t know what the answer is.
