DeSantis is installing a classic dictatorship style government.
And we can see what kind of society will be shaped.

In an autocracy it is important to have a ruling class which feels superior to the rest of society.
And groups who are second class, reviled and demonized.

The ideals of democracy, with equality for all, is to be firmly rejected.

conclusion that Trump is going to be the Republican candidate in 2024. Apparently they think Trump
is not going to be charged for any of his crimes.

As Miami gets flooded, it's like a punishment from God to wake up them up and give them the choice. Vote for someone who isn't against science or meet the fate of Atlantis.

DeFascist literally traffics human beings OUT OF TEXAS - not even his own state - as a political stunt for the cult - is that some kind of repuke "norm"?

let him get away with that!!!!!!! Nothing's has happened to him for such a horrific action, right?

Exactly how trump got worse... We had no means or will to stop him early.

They toe the line between right and wrong.

Unless we get more savvy we will not stop any of these MFs

DeSatan has the brains to carry out his evil. And he is also anti-democracy and fascist, as shown with his muzzling of the schools in Florida.
