Some Republican women are switching parties from outrage at Ron DeSantis

Hold up.

I’ll translate from Republican to English:

Desantis signed SB 1416 into law ending permanent alimony. Money is now based on the length of marriage

So they’re not outraged for:
Inspecting youth genitalia
Destroying trans rights
Human trafficking migrants
Destroying Florida’s economy
Attacking teachers
Rampant insurance corruption

No. Something happened to them, personally

And it’s about money

@flexghost women who think they can fully belong to the in-group in a fascist state are the saddest kind of funny.

@flexghost @hllizi I hate to one up, but how about minorities that run for the fascist party that hates them?

@irfan @flexghost If you reach the higher echelons and amass enough power, the ordinary rules may not apply to you anymore, so, if you have chances and judging from an entirely egotistical perspective, that may not be such a bad strategy.

@irfan @hllizi useful idiots. I’ll never understand any minority that voted Republican let alone holds office for them

@flexghost @hllizi NC Lt. Gov. Mark "Let's Quote Hitler" Robinson is a leader of this pack.

@SharonGibson3 @flexghost @hllizi except conservatives love people from marginalized groups that tell them what they want to hear. And the more exceptional the better because, in their minds, if any one person succeeds then obviously there are no legitimate barriers and anyone saying otherwise is just a lazy whiner. Or something

@[email protected] @flexghost @hllizi What gets me is when such individuals get their little feelings hurt (or worse), they're so surprised to discover they weren't the exception they thought they were. 🤷‍♂️
