Florida's Republican governor said he would seek to abolish the departments of Education, Commerce and Energy, as well as the IRS.

"If Congress will work with me on doing that, we'll be able to reduce the size and scope of government," he added. "If Congress won't go that far, I'm going to use those agencies to push back against woke ideology and against the leftism that we see creeping into all institutions of American life."

If Republicans cared about policy, Hillary Clinton would have won 2016 in a landslide.

This is just the same shit Trump pulled. Scream about culture war "issues" and claim you're going to solve societal ills without detailing how. Promising you're going to fix people's problems by blaming the bureaucracy or minority communities is easy, coming up with solutions that actually work is hard (and boring to boot).
