Can DeSantis Sell His Authoritarianism to the Nation?

I see, so the public schools where books were banned were not located in "the state of Florida"

 

If I am located in the state of Florida...can I buy those books? If I can...guess what? Not banned in the State of Florida. DeSantis is correct.

Our schools are in serious trouble if you cannot comprehend the difference between banned in a state vs banned in a school.

LOL

 

I am in no position to judge whether you are a "law abiding taxpaying citizen."

I am proud to number myself among the majority of Americans who respect law and order and democratic elections in which the will of the People is expressed, cornerstones of our nation's greatness.

Regrettably, some do not.

​

 

Duh!
For starters under the First Amendment the state of Florida cannot ban books from being sold .

'DeSantis blames media for sagging poll numbers: 'They're going after me'
Source: The Hill

'Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) blamed members of media outlets for his sagging poll numbers that have him far behind former President Trump for the lead for the 2024 Republican nomination.

DeSantis said during an interview on Fox News on Thursday that “corporate media” are focusing on him because they do not want him to win the nomination.

“Well, I think if you look at the people like the corporate media, who are they going after?” he said. “Who do they not want to be the nominee? They’re going after me.”

DeSantis also noted that Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has called on U.S. citizens to not vote for him, with the governor arguing that it was because “he knows who’ll be strong on the border and hold him accountable and the cartels.”

Ok then glad you agree that no books were banned in the State of Florida. Got any other fake narratives you want to complain about?

 

Books are not banned from being"sold" cause they no can do.
Books were/are banned from school classrooms and school libraries.
Try learning what the word "banned" means so you can save yourself from more embarrassment.

 

His Statement. "No books were banned in the STATE OF FLORIDA" is absolutely true and you even backed that claim up.

So **** with your faux outrage because he removed shitty books from public schools. Thanks for playing, you may go now!

 

The BANNED BOOKS equates to
The books that were banned in the state of Florida's public schools and school libraries.

 

If you can still buy the books within the state of florida...then the declaration about a book banned in florida is wrong.

Please try again.

 

So in other words, you extremely proud to be umong these folks? These folks who demonstrate RESPECT FOR OUR LAWS?

 

The topic is Florida's public schools, not Florida's privately owned bookstores.

 

The "woke" reality.

'Ron DeSantis’s Campaign Crashes Into Reality'

'Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis started Tuesday morning with a car crash. By lunchtime, his presidential campaign looked like a train wreck.

DeSantis had to announce two dozen layoffs because of financial struggles. It later emerged that one dismissed staffer secretly created and shared a video with Nazi imagery. And at the same time, a new poll in the all-important state of Iowa showed his support declining to a low of 15 percent compared to frontrunner Donald Trump’s 42 percent.

Meanwhile, doubts have been mounting within DeSantis’s own ranks about his campaign. Prior to the layoffs, one DeSantis campaign employee told The Messenger that “these are dark times."

"We’re in decline,” the employee, who spoke on condition of anonymity to share thoughts candidly. “It feels like we’re in the end game.” The staffer could not be reached Tuesday after the campaign laid of 24 people. Earlier this month, it let go of 14 others.'

Just the picture of DeSantis in the Hamptons is laughable.

'DeSantis Canceled Two Hamptons Fundraisers'

July 26, 2023

“Ron DeSantis scrapped two Hamptons fundraisers last weekend due to a lack of interest,” the New York Post reports.

Said a source: “The DeSantis experiment is dead. Donors aren’t coming to his events because they don’t see any return on investment.”

I didn't even know he was still in the race

As I predicted - most likely dropped out by March

 

Little Musso sure has a thing for Black people too,
He reinvents their past and tries to interfere with their voting voice.


'Florida redistricting lawsuit overturns DeSantis map, empowers Black voters'
Source: The Tributary

'A state judge struck down North Florida’s congressional districts Saturday, rebuffing Gov. Ron DeSantis’ open defiance of anti-gerrymandering protections, finding the governor’s map illegally reduced Black voters’ electoral power.

DeSantis had wagered the state’s Fair Districts Amendment against the U.S. Constitution, arguing mandatory protections for Black voters violated the Equal Protection Clause; Second Judicial Circuit Judge J. Lee Marsh flatly rejected that gamble, rendering a decision that could reverberate from the halls of Tallahassee to the streets of Jacksonville, paving the way for a new, Democratic district where Jacksonville’s Black voters have more influence.

Marsh refused to bite on DeSantis’ claim that the state’s Fair Districts Amendment violated the U.S. Constitution, saying DeSantis’ secretary of state and the Legislature didn’t even have standing to make such an argument.

“The Secretary can point to no case finding the non-diminishment language of the Fair Districts Amendment, nor the comparable Section 5 language of the Voting Rights Act, to violate the Equal Protection provision of the 14th Amendment,” Marsh wrote.'

"illegally" is not really the most accurate word. Those type of laws are very vague and could be interpreted in all sorts of different ways depending on the situation.

Basically any redrawing of the map that coincidentally just so happens could result in a different sort of outcome, a judge could decide is "illegal".

Maps get redrawn all the time due to changes in relative population distribution.

 

Nothing "vague" in Marsh's ruling.

'He also expressed sharp skepticism that he could make such an expansive ruling. Marsh said that if he ruled for the state, “this court will be the first in the country to say that even the Voting Rights Act is unconstitutional.”

Marsh also criticized the secretary of state’s attempt to apply a more stringent, unrelated test used for vote-dilution claims under Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. DeSantis’ lawyers tried to claim that the non-diminishment standard required the ability to draw a compact, Black-majority district.

“The Secretary’s arguments have no basis under either federal precedent or Florida Supreme Court precedent,” Marsh wrote.'

 

It's where "woke" goes to die!......and of course you don't like it!

 

' Florida lawmakers cower in gun-free zones with bulletproof glass while criticizing ‘safe places’ for others'

"Some Florida lawmakers are furious that businesses in Mount Dora may soon start putting stickers on their doors to let LGBTQ residents know they can find shelter inside if they’re ever being threatened.

Yes, we’re talking about grown men triggered by rainbow stickers.

So triggered, in fact, that the Republican legislators are threatening legal action against the city to prevent the stickers from ever being stuck.'

Mental illness(intolerant personality disorder ) and religion is a real dangerous combo.

'This time, Baxley was joined in his anti-rainbow crusade by State Reps. Keith Truenow, Taylor Yarkosky and Stan McClain. The four men signed a letter threatening to use “all legislative, legal and executive options” against Mount Dora and citing the Bible as part of their justification for doing so.

The Sentinel’s long-time Lake County columnist, Lauren Ritchie, used to argue that Lake’s legislative delegation was the “laughing stock” of the entire state. But it’s hard to laugh right now.'

 

My apologies - didn't even make it to February......

 

Can DeSantis Sell His Authoritarianism to the Nation?

nope!

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/jan/21/ron-desantis-drops-out-presidential-race

 

DeSantis Dropped out and that's the end of it.

 

I agree. There was no authoritarianism to sell but he sure couldn't sell his personality. Fascinating, isn't it, that Trump sells his far worse personality without difficulty.
