Ron DeSantis said he and his team have “basically moved on” from their fight with Disney. This might've sounded conciliatory, but it's worth a closer look.
Neither he or his voters care about that last one, clearly. Republicans haven’t cared about improving or even maintaining for a long time. Politically, Desantis is right to appeal to his voters by harassing the populations Republicans don’t like, everyone who isn’t them.
It’s all they respond to. Trump took over and won the 2016 primary simply by commiserating with Republican voters on stage about how he’d like to take their protesters around back and beat the shit out of them. Before that, he literally had to hire extras to his events.
Republicans would (and have) gladly vote to lose their own jobs, schools, parks, infrastructure, etc, just to watch their enemies be sad about losing those things too. A race to the bottom. If they could press an “infinite resources for everyone with no downside for anyone” button they wouldn’t, and they’d fight like hell to make sure their enemies never could either.
Republican voter’s only “victory” is in the schadenfreude of making their enemies suffer.
Their political affiliation is with the party that has someone charged with 91+ felonies, including trying to overthrow elections, leading in the polls. They don’t even have a party platform, because the last time it came up they were all on board to do whatever that guy said.
Plus the party is all about removing rights, burning books, undermining attempts to mitigate a pandemic, and forcing 14 year old rape victims to give birth. Oh, and they tend to attract a ton of neo-nazis.
I will certainly judge them based on their adherence to that particular party, thanks.
Translation: It backfired politically in his face, resulted in massive criticism, lost support within his party, and harmed his state’s interests.
“and harmed his state’s interests.”

Time to declare victory and hope people forget. Maybe another political stunt will help

So you were ok with them retaliating against free speech as long as it was something you did not approve of in the first place?
Maybe you shouldn’t identify as a Republican if you hate all of them.

Oh, they just aren’t the right kind of evil for you.
Not all Republicans are evil. Some are just confused.

You should go back then instead of trashing up this place.
Dude, chill the hell out. You don’t know anything about this person other than their political affiliation.

We also know the presumed person is opposed to bodily autonomy and for forcing their personal values upon others.
