[AZGrizFan]

I'll add in better leader

Brian Kemp is a better governor then Ron DeSantis. Change my mind.

No takers ...

He’s a commie governor.

Who is Brian Kemp?

He’s the commie governor of Jawja who refused to overturn the state's 2020 election results.

The political left has used the police power of government to continuously go after right leaning companies and organizations for years now. That wasn't enough so I guess they decided to expand the attacks to enlist a super powerful woke corporation like Disney to go after a Conk state government. DeSantis decided to bite back and he's now the villain.

He isn't "biting back." he's engaging in the same abuse of power crap that Republicans complain about. It's tit for tat political theater and nothing more. It's red meat for the base.

You realize the Disney "attack" was just the FL legislature removing its special privileges so that it is treated just like any other corporation in the state, right? Never seen the Left so angry at the gubmint for making a corporation pay its fair share in taxes.

Oh boy the irony.

[SDHornet]

Holy understatement of the YEAR, Batman.

If it's an understatement, why are people defending DeSantis' abuse of government power?

If we keep using a "they did it first" argument, the abuses of power are going to get worse and worse. Let's call it out and try to put a stop to it now.

The "anti-Disney" bill went through the proper channels via the state legislature. And see my post above regarding the "attack" on Disney. They are now just like any other corporation in FL.

[SDHornet]

Btw - I hope the irony of conservatives supporting the cancellation of Disney isn't lost on anyone. B/c that's what it is - Republicans going after a company for things they have said (and it started before this bill was signed).

@ people simping for Disney...a corporation that owns something like 84% of news companies in this country.

Also at Leftists now defending large corporations.

[SDHornet]

How? By voicing an opposing point of view? Republicans have become such snowflakes.

Well, I think Disney did more than voice an opposing viewpoint. They did say they were going to exclusively financially support Democratic candidates for office as a result of this. I'm not saying anything DeSantis is doing here is remotely right, but it's not as if Disney was just issuing a press release to agree to disagree and left it at that.

And went on record to push the LGBTQXYZ agenda in kids programming. This is more than just Disney having an "opposing view".

The irony is coming and going in both directions.

Anyone trying to push sex onto underage kids is grooming. There's nothing hard to grasp about this. Tranny day at the library/school/wherever is just an angle to try and normalize this depravity to kids that don't need to be dealing with this shit.

I'll say it again: anyone that is trying to talk to kids about sex is a groomer and/or pedo. Anyone defending this is aligned with groomers/pedos. This isn't hard to grasp.

Nobody was trying to push sex onto underage kids.

Yeah, exactly the same. Donks cancel a pillow company because he dares to be public about his religious beliefs. Disney supports grooming children for predators.

Yep. Exactly the same. I can see why you’d think there’s irony there.

[BDKJMU]

In other words, you have no answer to A, B or C. Because your post was weak. Here' I'll help you:

a) It's not abuse of power. He's doing EXACTLY what he was elected to do
B) It's not political theater, it's politics. Governing.
C) Godforfuckingbid he do things that appeal to his constituents and gets him reelected. Dumbass donks should try that strategy instead of insisting that THEY know best for everyone and then getting bludgeoned in the mid terms.

You are not thinking objectively.

You really think he was elected to fight with a company and force the taxpayers of 2 counties to take on a trillion dollar burden? He wasn't elected to fight with companies when they speak out against his policies. He was elected to serve every single resident, regardless of political affiliation, for the greater good. Tell me how revoking the special districts b/c Disney said something he didn't like about COVID, this bill and other things is what he was elected for? That's pretty ridiculous.


He isn't governing...he's throwing a hissy fit b/c he can't tolerate a differing POV.

Tell you what - if a Governor decided to punish Hobby Lobby or Chick-fil-A over their comments on LGBT rights, you'd be calling for that Governors head.

When that differing POV is about sexualizing young kids, intolerance is needed..

Clearly, Christians are groomers who need to be stopped. Here is a good start.

In petitions sent to public school superintendents across the state, Chaz Stevens asked the districts to "immediately remove the Bible from the classroom, library, and any instructional material," Stevens wrote in the documents, which were shared with NPR. "Additionally, I also seek the banishment of any book that references the Bible."

His petitions cited a bill signed into law last month by Gov. Ron DeSantis, which lets parents object to educational materials. That bill came about after some parents complained about sexually explicit books being taught in Florida schools.……

Stevens proceeded to question whether the Bible is age-appropriate, pointing to its "casual" references to murder, adultery, sexual immorality, and fornication. "Do we really want to teach our youth about drunken orgies?"

He also took issue with the many Biblical references to rape, bestiality, cannibalism and infanticide. "In the end, if Jimmy and Susie are curious about any of the above, they can do what everyone else does – get a room at the Motel Six and grab the Gideons," he wrote.

Well i'm not a leftist so you can stop there. I would be equally bothered if a Democratic governor did this to a company.

MyPillow guy spreading lies and working to overturn a legitimate election is way worse than Disney saying they didn't approve of a bill.

In Disney’s case they did it to themselves.

I was watching Desantis today. Video of him in Nevada. The guy is just a total demagogue. Exactly the type of person we should NOT want in charge of anything. Very sad that anybody would vote for anybody like that.

But it's the world we live in. And I guess it always has been. That's why we had Hitler.

Yeah. DeSantis is exactly like Hitler.

You’ve officially fucking lost it.

Yup, I almost spit out laughing as soon as I read that line. He might not be the first, but I think that's the first CS time where DeSantis has now been compared to Hitler. However, considering JSO's track record (COVID, minority voting in the US, Joe Biden's mental state) he hasn't been right about anything in quite a while, so this could just be more of him being incorrect.

So Hitler wasn’t a demagogue? Or you don’t think DeSantis is showing demagogue like tendencies?

FFS comparisons to Hitler like this are just stupid. FDR is probably the American politician closest to Hitler because he rounded up American citizens and put them in camps and I wouldn't call him Hitler. Obama could be defined as a demagogue, Is he Hitler? Maybe we need to define them better.

Trump - Orange Hitler
Hillary - Bitch Hitler
W. Bush - Dumb Hitler
Obama - Black Hitler
McConnell - Cocaine Hitler
Biden - Senile Hitler
Harris - Blowjob Hitler
Warren - Indian Hitler
Cawthorn - Wheeled Hitler
MTG - Dumber Hitler

Calm down, Fiver. JSO didn’t make a direct comparison. He pointed out the demagoguery and where it can lead if it’s accepted.

It’s really not much different than claiming Bernie would lead us to Marxism.

As Fiver pointed out, DeSantis is no more of a demagogue then Obama was. I would add that most modern so-called progressive politicians also fit the definition of demagoguery. JSO's opinion of DeSantis is based on opposing ideology not reason. Fiver's response humorously pointed out the stupidity of JSO's observation.

Bernie's positions and past statements and link him much more closely to Marxism then anything Trump, DeSantis, etc. said or did link them to fascism. FFS, he's identifies himself as a socialist.
