What I don't understand is why these Trump-like politicians look so sloppy in their suits 🤔 I mean damn do you even check the mirror before leaving the house? After the Obama-era (& peak COVID) these politicians have a taken a real slide in the style department

If they didn't want protestors they wouldn't announce this. I'm on this fence if that means people who want to shouldn't.
If you still want to protest this guy your signs should be book covers.

FL resident here - DeSantis is poison.
Right now, he's running a state with a legislature that marches in lockstep with his fascist policies.
If we didn't recently go through the Trump fiasco, I would love to see Meatball Ronnie get the nom, but with the Dem machine still choosing Old White Men as their candidates, Ronnie D may have a chance with the Repubs. He speaks the same simple language that his constituents understand, and can get his point across with 5 words or less. Just like Trump.
DeSantis is Trump's Mini Me, right down to the poor grammar, ill fitting suits, weird mannerisms and tiny hands.

Start assaulting the wacky things he says and point out why his policies will suck. Stop calling everyone who disagrees with you "fascist" because it does little besides promote ignorance.
fafalone t1_j98a96i wrote
With the whole "white men bad" schtick being absolute poison to everyone but a small fringe of progressives, it's hard to blame them.
Old white man Bernie Sanders should have been president, but go on keep carrying water for the same people who buried him: Those amplifying divisive racist views like yours on the left to keep anyone with progressive economic views from getting anywhere near power. Nothing like racial resentment to make sure class consciousness doesn't gain a foothold.
fafalone t1_j98aqdi wrote
With DeSantis it's intentional. But remember Trump is a genuine moron, I don't doubt that delusional cheeto really thinks he looks fantastic caked in bronzer and stuffed into an ill fitting suit topped by the world's most expensive combover.

He says 'wacky things' all day long, and twice on Tuesdays.
I'm not calling him 'fascist' because I disagree with him. I'm calling him Fascist because he's copying the policies of Hitler and Musollini.
Do some research. He's promoting book banning, discussion of racial relations in schools. He fired a DA because the guy disagreed with him.
DeSantis is a fascist. He has no interest in promoting Democracy.

Fuck DumbSantis, but it's not cool to make fun of SI. Half that island literally keeps this city running. Yes, I politically disagree with a large portion of that bloc, but, even still, that isn't very nice. They do have a suspicious amount of turkeys on that island though wtf.

I agree- there is a lot of body shaming of public officials. I don’t care whether you like an official- dem or repub- it’s gross.

Big cities in florida are on average far less safe. Lets take jacksonville and compare the gangviolence problem to NYC, its not even close Jacksonville is a far worse place in terms of violent crime. Its your perception and the big city nature of NYC that gets the wrap
watupmynameisx t1_j9bpukn wrote
It's weird everyone seems to be moving to Texas too. Abbott must suck even more than Desantis!
watupmynameisx t1_j9bqary wrote
And yet Jacksonville has 4x population growth as NYC, meaning people took a look at both cities and were 4x as likely to choose Jacksonville. Seems like they're doing something right there!
Darrackodrama t1_j9br0wc wrote
What are you saying? its momentary regional growth that happens in under developed cities, new york has 8 million plus residents its never going to have anything higher than single digit growth. Its like yea of course botswana has a 20% growth rate and the us is lucky to have 4% the US is fully developed as is NYC compared to jacksonville.
​
And part of what you are saying is the public perception of NYC not the reality of actual violent crime statistics.
​
And the only thing they are doing right is poaching New Yorkers by failing to tax people to provide basic healthcare, transit, and educational services, all while clamping down on academic freedom in their schools. For a certain type of selfish new yorker who has the money to hide themselves away in a planned suburban town it works, but its not a sustainable means of living. Let florida have all those people though. The midterms showed that republicans are concentrating themselves into like Florida and texas.
​
I have lived in both and I felt far safer in NYC than Jacksonville.
watupmynameisx t1_j9ce556 wrote
So people are leaving NYC because of an unbearable tax climate and now Florida is experiencing a GDP and pop boom relative to NYC because of its more business-friendly climate. What a dumb Florida policy! Those selfish people who want to take their wealth and spend it away from NYC. So is it momentary or not?
And don't get me started how academic freedom - a concept that had zero to do with elementary schools - is being impinged! It's as if parents want more oversight over teachers teaching their kids far left sexual ideology!

Banning them from school libraries where there are 2nd graders, yes. That isn't academic freedom. And he didn't ban AA history, that's propaganda.

Why are you acting like Long Island is a cheap place to live? It’s literally one of the most expensive places to live in the world, and NYPD has forced OT whether you like it or not and doing doubles in transit will give you $130,000 where the average salary in NYC is $51,000, please go on Indeed and find the requirements for a job that pays $130,000 with a pension and full health benefits that doesn’t require a PhD, no matter how much people complain it’s still one of the best jobs in the city, and lastly the NYPD isn’t the military, you can leave anytime without consequences if you hate it that much.

And he arrested people who were felons that voted when the state told them to vote in a phony crackdown on voter fraud.
As to the African studies thing, you are just wrong the commission made the determination and he backed it. Let’s say Hochul banned us history because it delves to far into nationalism? Would you honestly be sitting here making excuses for it? I wouldn’t because it’s wrong.
What is happening in Florida is unprecedented and scary, just because you support those things doesn’t mean the precedent isn’t unnerving. Imagine someone you didn’t like started doing the same shit to you?
It also shows you all don’t value diverse ideas in the public education realm, you want an echo chamber and you are willing to hack someone who is slowly dictating a certain nationalist view of the us to kids instead of giving kids a broad overview of thoughts and ideals.
It’s not gonna work anyways, younger kids are increasingly radical and see through it all anyways and gen z and alpha are the most diverse, and sexually divergent generations yet by the numbers so good luck.
