This will almost assuredly affect Republicans predominantly. So in order to get the liberals they will kill themselves. Weird flex, but alright.
They're also passing laws to make it legal for adults to marry 12 year olds, so that is their out - because every Republican also naturally knows that marriage entails permanent, always-on, irrevocable consent.

I’m more worried that the next step is changing the definition of “sexual battery” to include “being LGBTQ+ in public.”

They're well on their way with the recent passage of HB 1521 and soon, 1421. They are really hammering down on the T part. Once that's in as precedent, it'll be used to reinstitute old style sodomy laws, I'm sure.

Of course none of that will really affect any republicans because republicans doesn't do any of that. At least not openly.

Wasn't that last weeks news?
The T part, as I said, yeah. They have yet to make it illegal to be Cis Gay/Lesbian/Bi, but I'm sure it's on their to-do. Along with interracial marriages, women's suffrage, and all the other social advances of the last 200 years.
 
Used to be only white land owners could vote, but all the land is owned by corporations now. Maybe corporations will get the vote.

Only the ones that kiss DeSantis’ boots in public. All others will have their assets seized by the state… you know, typical free market Republican stuff.

Sounds a bit like socialism to me.

National socialism.

The thought of a president DeSantis becomes scarier with every day.

SOCIALISM?! How dare you?!

It's not socialism. They merely want the government to control education and industry in order to maximize the party's social and political agendas, eventually serving to enrich themselves while the majority of the population suffers under the yoke of their oppression. Or, as they like to call it, "freedom" or "free market capitalism."

The way God intended.

Lots of people who study the sort of thing are warning that the actual results of the democratic process may not actually determine who wins in 2024, if the GOP has their way.

In that event, DeSantis is just as likely as any other to be the beneficiary of the GOP plunging our system into fascism.
 
Right now, the only shot anyone has is for both of these guys to run so they can split the fanatic vote and allow someone else with some sense to win.

I don’t think there are enough reasonable republicans in America to fill a mid sized stadium.
Also I don’t think DeSantis will enter the race. That pudding commercial was an open handed slap and DeSantis has yet to attack back. Probably because he knows that Trump can and will take the fight farther than DeSantis will allow himself to go.

2028 is early enough to become the new crown prince.

I had to attend an after-hours work social gathering last night. It was excruciating listening to a dude from another department mutter over his beer about how his 23 year old daughter, who has come out as non-binary, won't speak to him anymore because "apparently I'm a fascist." Who then went on to outline all his political views which were all fascist dog whistles.

Boy am I glad that guy isn't in my department.

And yes, he definitely lived up to the stereotype of how those who aspire to the "master race" look. He looks like somebody put a grey crew cut on a blob fish, with a physique a Gru cosplayer would envy.
Hah, I stumbled upon this today, it's a DEAD RINGER

Don't mind me, just archiving more stuff to send to relatives.

If there are nazis at your rally, and nobody is kicking them out, you are at a nazi rally.

 
I gotta say, I’m no political strategist, but expelling those legislators was such a stupid decision, even from a purely selfish perspective. They don’t have the votes to make a difference but now they’re celebrities and everyone is looking into you.

Apparently the ethics committee issued their findings 3 weeks ago and he just stuck around to chase the darkies out.
