Ron Desantis was exposed as a white supremacist, and we thought it spelled his doom

[RhodeIslandOne]

We need to recognize what we are up against.

[AlexSFCA]

1. if he wins, it is because he is white supremacuats not in spite of it

[RhodeIslandOne]

3. Yup

Even our very enthusiastic candidate can't fight that hate.

2. "It's the economy, stupid."

Voters may think Drumpf, et al. are disgusting pigs, but if they're doing well economically, IT DOES NOT MATTER.

11. The Tea Party was blaming Obama for the Bush recession

In FEBRUARY!! some voters are stupid. Why is the economy doing well until the tax cuts & tariffs wreck it.

[Blaukraut]

4. We need to remember that he did not run nationally

The geezers in Florida like him and there are not enough urban/suburban/educated younger folks to offset that. We are a divided nation. Unfortunately; geographically, the division doesn't lend itself to an amicable 'divorce'.

5. I swear I'm moving

Between Michael and DeSantis there's nothing left for me here.

[manchu]

6. This is a symptom

This country is staring into the abyss and jumping into it with a smile. The next candidate can have a guy wearing a KKK outfit on stage and no one will bat an eye. Its their mission to normalize this behavior and sadly its working. Certain states take glee in the fact that conservatism is now synonymous with cruelty. Watch for the assault on the 14th amendment and any other laws that put minorities at a disadvantage. Hopefully the House can go to Dem hands but man I have to say I am let down by the outcome in FL.

7. So, FL is voting for Desantis

And to pass Ammendment 4? That doesn't make sense to me.

[manchu]

8. There are white folks who are ex cons as well n/t

[RhodeIslandOne]

9. They want the Aryan Brotherhood gangs to vote.

[catsudon]

10. heh

if the vagina grabbing is a-ok, being a supremacist is a resume enhancer. /s

12. Corey Stewart in Virginia got 1.25 million votes. More than 42%.

We do very much need to recognize what we're up against. These aren't people voting based on economics. These aren't people who simply have a different take on the role of government.

It is all about racism and sexism. People who are in denial about that need to wake the fuck up.

[TNLib]

13. I'm going to blunt

The south is racist as fuck including Florida. I use to live in central Florida as a middle school student I was litterally tormented by racial slurs growing up.

It hasn’t changed much there are large pockets of diversity and the demographics are slowly changing but it’s a racist state overall.

In fact The entire Bible Belt is filled with ignorant racist dumbfucks. I know I’ve lived down here my whole life and Democrat’s shouldn’t count on anything else.

Things are looking much better as we move west. Thank god.
