    I am very honestly surprised. I would have thought he would have touted this as saving children from the woke mind virus or whatever.

      He just saw the writing on the wall. Supreme courts all over the states were slapping similar laws down left and right last week.

        Exactly. He hasn’t exactly been a supporter of it, and he knows it’s a certain loser, legally. He often touts phrases like “parents’ choice”, and this bill would also go against that. People forget that just because Desantis may be a shitstain doesn’t mean he always toes the GOP line.

        Florida with its Republican supermajority is about to join the gotta provide your ID to do anything Republicans publicly feign indignation over and privately enjoy themselves. So much for less government interference. Hypocrites.

      $10 says this was staged due to how incredibly desperate DeSantis is for a win, especially with the generation that will soon be voting him out of politics in his upcoming failed bid at the US Senate.

      Everything about DeSantis is stage-managed political theater.

        DeSantis can’t serve as the next governor due to Florida’s consecutive term limits anyway

      Social media is doing an absolutely amazing job polarizing people. Why the fuck would anyone block it if it helped their position?
