    Doesn’t matter. His idiot base already believes it and they’re even more empowered to vote for him becasue of it. That’s how this works: he knows they’re fucking stupid. And he knows that fear is a motivator.

    The only way to defeat this piece of shit is to out-vote the idiots- not to prove him wrong. They don’t care. Proving him wrong is pointless.

      This led me to discover that NH ended capital punishment in 2019. Last I knew, we were the lone holdout in New England and the Northeast in general. Glad I got that corrected and glad that finally changed!

    So I just looked this up today cause i was having a conversation about what he meant by that cause…that’s a dumb thing to say.

    Apparently…

    After the interview, Tapper said he asked the DeSantis campaign “what exactly the governor was referring to when he was referring to post-birth abortion. They said it was a reference to when an infant survives an abortion procedure and life-saving medical care is not provided.”

    Edit: still a dumb thing for him to say.

      Surely not first tri. I don’t even know why I’m trying to wrap my head around whatever he meant.

        He didn’t mean anything, he’s just saying words that rile up his political base. Calling him a Chinese Room would be insulting to ChatGPT

    “Post-birth abortion” That’s just another word for ‘murder’… because AFTER somebody is born, they’re a person. Pre-birth abortion however, is NOT murder, it’s just abortion.

    I mean, with the rate of school shootings, is he really wrong? He just seems to be OK with them in that context.

    The Florida government murders people. Lots of red states do

    I’m tired of them pretending they’re doing something because of morals

    I’m disappointed this isn’t getting PolitiFact’s “pants on fire” rating.

About

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis aspires to be the same kind of Autocrat despised by the founders of the United States. He must be exposed for what he is: a great threat to our Democratic Republic and American values. Republicans don’t punish big businesses like the Walt Disney Company for disagreeing with them. Fascists do. DeSantis and those like him are a massive threat to our Democracy.

Rules

  1. Nazis and Putin sympathizers are not welcome here.

  2. The tolerant, open-minded and freedom-loving ARE welcome here. Glad to have you good people : )

  3. Attack the media and expect to be banned. There is a good reason why the press is included in the First Amendment. If you cannot respect the vital role that an independent media plays in terms of checks and balances, this isn’t the right group for you.

  4. Be respectful of our differences, whether it’s race, religion, gender or sexual orientation.

  5. No Spam, Threats, Harassment or Doxing of any kind.

  6. No trolling, disinformation, or low effort posts / comments.
