Ron DeSantis’ Florida:

Removing elected officials

Privately run publicly funded Army

Banned books; threatening teachers with prosecution

Allow the kidnapping of trans children by the state

Stripping 1st, 4th and 14th amendment rights from citizens

…And now permitless gun carry

No background checks, no training, and no fees for a concealed-carry weapons license.

In a time when guns are the leading cause of death for American children

@flexghost the cruelty is the point. I try not to consider people to be inherently evil, but some people, ugh, i just can't.

@tshirtman @flexghost
Ron DeSantis tortured people in Guantanamo.

That's not a metaphor.

Some people are evil. It doesn't matter if it inheres. Evil is about outcomes.

@DoesntExist @tshirtman what’s worse is that Ron DeSantis said he was there to make sure they would get humanitarian treatment and used what he learned to torture them further
@flexghost This is crazy... In the meanwhile, 3 small children are dead in Nashville.... Another shooting...
@flexghost in the same vein as their obsession for their Confederate army statues erected by the KKK, open carry is an intimidation tactic to keep the outgroup in line
@flexghost yes, and they're ready to pull a gun at your favorite beach vacation spot over parking and say they were within rights. That works in Florida. Remember the potato head George Zimmerman? I went right near Ft. Lauderdale with my daughter when she was three.

@flexghost Florida is a vile place and has steadily gotten worse since the Anita Bryant days. I won’t spend a dime knowingly with Florida based businesses. I won’t visit there or stop in that shithole state to change planes. Hateful immoral people occupy it and promote their hate by voting in thugs like DeSantis!
