How Ron DeSantis Wants to 'Make America Florida'

It’s hard to remember a time when Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis wasn’t acting like a man thirsting for the presidency.

But after endless speculation and refusals to make his ambitions official, he’s expected finally to announce that he is running for the Republican presidential nomination next week.

So what would a DeSantis administration look like? The last chapter of The Courage to Be Free: Florida’s Blueprint for America’s Revival, his second memoir, is titled “Make America Florida,” which seems to make clear that DeSantis hopes to bring his twisted views on freedom to the White House. Look no further than his legislative record for specifics: The governor’s pen has been used to enact countless bans and restrictions on issues ranging from reproductive rights to property rights.

Since they’ve been spewed out so frequently—sometimes in the dead of night as with his six-week abortion ban—we’ve put together a list of some of the key bills DeSantis signed into law this session to help keep track of all his work.

He has national attention alright. Florida put a total lunatic in the governor's mansion.

The message seems a bit mild in the hard-hitting spectrum..
I hope people start understanding just how despotic these zealots really are..

[carjam]

Who's going to stop him? This horrible man and those like him have little to no centrally or powerfully organized opposition. That's as horrifying as Desantis himself.

So, with Wrong DeSantis being a MAGA Republican, shouldn't that be 'redprint'?

One can only imagine what Ronny thinks of us up here....then again we are for the most part invisible to many Americans

This is a "hit job" and a not very good one at that! But I guess its just Mother Jones for you.

I believe that using slang for political purposes & not knowing the meaning of the slang used, isn't a wise move.

May I add that $10 million of the relocation money was used to relocate immigrants from TEXAS to Martha’s Vineyard.

[rayerickson]

To confront Grooming, wherever it may appear.

I smoke weed and I don’t want the whole country to be like Florida where it’s still illegal. I’ve been to Florida and I couldn’t score any weed there it felt like the 90’s for me trying to score weed on the streets and still being risky. I say booo this man!

[sekh]

Sounds like reasons I would vote for him, thanks for the reminder!

[hermosotino]

Besides being exclusive....he is definitely evil.

Doesn't DeDantis look like one of those guys that sit in the car around 3 pm in the next block down from an elementary school and has a small dog with him?

[googleboss]

He's doing good, he like free hands-on education, he;s not here forever and everything he's doing can be changed, After all you vote him in or didn't vote at all now live with it..
