Progressives aim to reinstate equilibrium to state’s lopsided politics that DeSantis has, in the eyes of some, dragged into fascism

    This idea that “oh if there’s any liberals left” is so smug and to me, is part of the reason why Florida and many other GOP-ruled states are where they are. The idea that the people who don’t like these regimes will move to New York, Illinois, or California is out of touch and absurd.

    With trans people alone, it’s estimated that 1.2-1.8% of the population of the US is trans. Florida’s population is 22.25 million. 400,000+ people should not have to become refugees in their own country. This cannot be the “response” to these laws.

    Florida is a fascist State, and I wish people would adopt the attitude toward “regime change” that they have for Russia when talking about Desantis.

    The Republican strategy there seems to be deterring liberals from coming or staying in the state through these laws. At the same time whatever children are there will have a very watered dawn education to indoctrinate them and filter our former atrocities.

    Little too late it seems. But if they are going to do something, then they better get a move on, lots of people moving out of state.

    It’s bad down here.

    “In the eyes of some”? It doesn’t matter what the others think, he’s operating within the definition of fascism.
