    …"Florida has led the way in preserving what the … father of our country called the 'sacred fire of liberty,'" DeSantis said during his speech, according to
    The Hill.

    DeSantis continued: "When the world lost its mind, when common sense suddenly became an uncommon virtue, Florida was a refuge of sanity, a citadel of freedom for our fellow Americans, and even for people around the world. In captaining the ship of state, we choose to navigate the boisterous sea of liberty rather than cower in the calm docks of despotism.

    "Florida's success has been made more difficult by the floundering federal establishment in Washington, D.C.," added DeSantis.

    Shortly thereafter, DeSantis said the federal government "wields its authority through a sprawling, unaccountable and out-of-touch bureaucracy that does not act on behalf of us, but instead looms over us and imposes its will upon us.

    "The results of this have been predictably dismal. This has caused many to be pessimistic about the country’s future. Some even say that failure is inevitable. Florida is proof positive that we the people are not destined for failure," …

    De Santis is right! We the people can remain free. The democrat federal regime in DC is a progressive freedom stealing outfit. They are an impediment to our liberty. Well said!

    De Santis and governors like him are key to our resistance to the freedom stealing evil democrat regime in DC.

    It’s true. Red states and even red counties in blue ones see what federal policy is on a series of given issues and do the diametric opposite or what they were already doing before the it took office. Federalism under our constitution is the best defense against an overreaching federal regime.

    Why does DeSanctimonious need so many culture straw men to fake rail against? It's so disingeniously theatrical.

    I personally can't wait to read the OPs threads about Trump bashing the hell out of DeSantis when the primaries get nasty. LOL

    But to stay on topic, **** DeSantis.

    2A restrictions
    Speech restrictions
    Bans on tons of things
    Freedom not to get the jab
    Freedom to say whatever I want on Twitter without the government telling Twits to ban me. (I don't have a Twitter account)
    Freedom to have my doctor give me his medical advice instead of the advice Biden wants him to give me
    Freedom to open my business when deomocrats wanted them closed
    Freedom to have kid go to school
    Freedom to NOT have my parents sent to die in a nursing home
    Want me to go on?

    Most importantly, under Biden, the freedom to be judged by my character and ability rather than the color of my skin.

    Do have any idea of how many things libs across the country have banned or tried to ban?

    What freedom have women lost?

    What second amendment right did you loose. Be VERY specific here...

    What Speech restrictions ?

    You dont have to get the jab? Nobody is forcing you to except the private business that the right claims has every right to hire/fire whom they want.

    Twitter is a private platform. The twitter files are complete BS.

    What advice is Biden telling your doctor to give you ?

    Who is judging you by the color of your skin, and under what Biden policy/rule/law is that being formed

    You cannot be serious about what right women have lost ? umm, the right to bodily autonomy......

    If they both run in 2024 I will be torn as to which one to suppport. Most likely I would let them fight it out and support which ever one won the nomination.

    I want him to run for president though I would be sad to see our great governor, no longer be our governor.

    Between the left making him toxic to the touch and him not being able to control his mouth... I don't believe Trump needs to run again

    The only thing shameful is that Democrats haven’t fought back harder with the right and have attempted to negotiate. Thankfully I believe that era is over, while not as crooked as the right has shown to be, I believe they are finally participating in the same war.

    Well, let's examine one of your claims.

    Freedom to have my doctor give me his medical advice instead of the advice Biden wants him to give me

    At what point was your doctor required to give you medical advice that Biden wanted him or her to give you?

    Nothing in Washington is floundering like the GOP Clowns of Congress.

    For those poor bastards who early on were forced to take the clot shots, and there are plenty of them in Florida, they lost the freedom to own and control their bodies. Nationwide, the numbers are much higher.

    I am a fan of both of them. If the majority of primary voters choose De Santis for reasons FatBack described, I will strongly support and work for De Santis. In California as a Republican it is fun to rub De Santis successes and policy differences in the face of failed state democrats here.

    I sure hope to see DeSantis seek and obtain the presidential nomination for 2024.
