About
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis aspires to be the same kind of Autocrat despised by the founders of the United States. He must be exposed for what he is: a great threat to our Democratic Republic and American values. Republicans don't punish big businesses like the Walt Disney Company for disagreeing with them. Fascists do. DeSantis and those like him are a massive threat to our Democracy.

Fascism drives away intellectuals and is always hostile towards reason.
Intellectuals who stick around for fascism tend to get disappeared. It’s very wise to get out early.
Idiocracy was a documentary it seems.
At this point I'm just watching the clock wondering when Florida will be literally uninhabitable. I mean it's already figuratively uninhabitable, but I mean going from "No sane person wants to live here" to "It's literally impossible for anyone to live here"

DethSentance wants to turn Floriduh into Gilead, and do the rest of the country for kicks. The face-eating leopard wants to eat your face and STILL some want to ‘negotiate’ ?!! Fcuk this troglodyte and his litter. If you got the means, get out while you can, and let Ron preach his screed to the gators and the swamp
He wants to turn FL into a Christian country club. Only the wealthy and like-minded are invited. Can't pay, too bad.
As long as they stay there while it sinks beneath the sea I'm sorta okay with this
They won’t 🫤
I live outside of Boston, and when we did some home renovations about 10 years ago we had an electrician who had a good sized company with about a dozen electricians who worked for him. He said that he was regularly sending a truck with half a dozen electricians to Cape Cod to work there. The cost of living combined with NIMBYism on the Cape has gotten so bad that fewer and fewer trades people etc. can afford to live there. More recently I’ve heard that a high end restaurant on Martha’s Vineyard is chartering flights from the mainland to bring in employees.
I can only imagine Florida is going to end up in a similar situation but for very different reasons. They’re proving more and more successful at pushing hard working qualified people out of that state. Sooner or later they’ll be forced to start cutting corners on all manner of infrastructure since they won’t have quality carpenters, electricians, plumbers, etc. It’s already happening with farmers in that state losing their laborers as well as long haul truck drivers, etc.
republiQans are pleased with this. Then, there is a sub-set of republicans who are confused as to why good academics would be leaving. They will continue to vote republiQan, of course.
