Florida’s Republican governor said he would seek to abolish the departments of Education, Commerce and Energy, as well as the IRS.

“If Congress will work with me on doing that, we’ll be able to reduce the size and scope of government,” he added. “If Congress won’t go that far, I’m going to use those agencies to push back against woke ideology and against the leftism that we see creeping into all institutions of American life.”

      Laughing at Desantis’ ignorance or crying because republican voters are just as ignorant and eat that shit up.

      Or my favorite… alternating between the two

      Training and prepping. Historically, there’s only been one way to stop fascist conservatism, and it’s not something we are allowed to talk openly about until we’re doing it.

        Did the 6th of January insurrectionists do the right thing, given they believed they were fighting against an authoritarian government? Or should they have accepted the result of the democratic process even though they disagreed with it?

          So when Hitler got voted in, the moral choice was to respect the democratic process and the completely legal murder of 12 million people. Got it

            I agree in the event of a genocidal government, you throw them out, but obviously there needs to be a very high bar and a lot of safeguards to prevent partisan misuse. A losing Republican could claim a winning Democrat wants to conduct a genocide against unborn babies or something and the Jan6 insurrectionists would feel they were justified because of it.

            What are the most damning pieces of evidence that Desantis will conduct a genocide if elected?

            Should the 2016 election result have been overturned?

      Making sure that all of the subhuman republicans around you are as uncomfortable as humanly possible. They live among us and far too many people tolerate them.
