DeSantis, on Defense, Shows Signs of Slipping in Polls

I just can't believe how far from reality that the Republicans find themselves in today!

Instead of coming closer back to the middle, they are hunkering down and taking their party out to the most extreme edges of the Lunatic Fringe- LIKE THAT IS GOING TO WORK! REALLY? :laugh:

They haven't learned a God Damn thing in the last 3 national elections.

The fear, hate, and grievances are strong with them, fed by a steady diet of Fox and other Reichwing liars.

True. This time around it's book banning, speech stifling, trans-attacking, and trying to pretend that the civil war and racism were like so two centuries ago.

Absolutely true. That's why they focus on grievance politics and promote the myth that white ppl are ever so persecuted, and so are Xtians. Scooting over to give someone else a place at the table somehow means you're going to get less to eat, to these losers.
 
DeSantis failed his first test on National Defense, Russia is not our friend either?!! Ukraine has destroyed half of Russia's military in the war, give them all the weapons they need for a complete victory, not a stalemate?!!

It's odd that his approval rating among (R) voters is so high, yet overall he can't manage to beat the corrupt and treasonous Trump. Good news for Democrats in 2024!

And then Putin gets an arrest warrant out on him for crimes against humanity

What a loser Ron is

You shouldn't. He's nothing more than a Trump Wannabe, a panderer to the kooks, the Qs, and the haters. Rather than focus on Florida's worst-in-the-nation teacher shortage, he's far more interested in punishing Disney for disagreeing with his attacks on LGBTQ ppl and teachers.

He's paying the price for something. Would be nice if it were his shallowness, or Trump-like "self over everything else on earth", but it probably isn't.

His War on Woke isn't turning out like he'd hoped. FL might be full of haters (which I doubt), but that doesn't play at all well to the rest of the country.

I've been saying he's to short, to fat, to uncharismatic, and to untested to be a serious challenge to the Republican demigod Trump.

I'd also add "hypocritical" to that list but Reichwingers don't care about that. Favorite DeSatan #FailOfTheWeek: He's blaming the SVB failure on "woke," with a tiny smidgeon of "poor banking regulation." Guess who voted to deregulate such banks in 2018?

DeSantis, who blamed diversity initiatives for Silicon Valley Bank’s downfall, pushed for rollback of bank regulations under renewed scrutiny

In the wake of Silicon Valley Bank’s demise, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis pointed fingers at several culprits, including the company’s diversity initiatives and federal regulators who he said “always seem to whiff” at preventing a financial crisis.

But left out of DeSantis’ comments was his own record on banking regulations. As a member of Congress, DeSantis was an outspoken champion for lifting regulation on small and mid-sized financial institutions, and in 2018 he voted for a bill that eventually became law loosening oversight of mid-size banks like Silicon Valley Bank.

The 2018 legislation, which then-President Donald Trump signed into law, is under renewed scrutiny amid the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank, the lender to startups whose recent collapse has rocked the venture capital world and sent chills through the country’s financial system. The law, which passed with bipartisan support, rolled back regulations known as the Dodd-Frank Act passed by Congress and signed by President Barack Obama in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, including some for smaller and medium-sized institutions.

When we had that cabal of Desantis cheerleaders :cheer: posting here, they never could prescisely explain what it was about his governance and policy they liked. They didn't seem to be able to articulate a reason to like him, other than book banning and flying asylum seekers around the country on luxury private chartered jets.

And alsotoo, lest we forget too soon, his multiple arrests of paroled felons who were told that their voting rights had been restored. So they voted and DeSatan's little voter fraud SS troop then rounded them up. Thankfully the courts dismissed all charges.

Like they say in Texas, he's all hat and no cattle. lol
 
His entire political life is predicated on culture wars and religious wars. Religion is becoming a less important issue than it used to be. Abortion rights are approved by the masses. His book burning is not popular. He is running on unpopular platforms. He fooled the people of Florida. But nationally, he will have to pivot.
 
How is this not a violation of the First Amendment, which guarantees the "right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances"?

A Florida-Sized Roadblock for the League of Women Voters

After a league rally was blocked by a new rule, the chapter’s president considers what might come next in a state where Gov. Ron DeSantis is restricting public discourse.

The league revealed that it had been denied permission by the Florida Department of Management Services to hold an outdoor rally on the steps of the Old Capitol in Tallahassee under a new DeSantis administration rule requiring groups to first get sponsorship from a sympathetic state agency.

The rule took effect March 1 and says the requested use of the space must be “consistent with the Agency’s official purposes.” Its stated purpose is to ensure that demonstrations are “conducted in a manner that protects public health and safety and ensures that state employees and officials can fulfill their responsibilities.”
