Not really if you consider that Floridians voted this asshat into office. Twice. It’s more like they did it to themselves. It’s ok, they are happy about it, and the ones that can read have already left the state.
The only reason he didn’t get voted out is that ~400k COVID denying assholes moved here from other parts of the country in the span of a single election cycle.
Regarding DeSantis winning the past two elections, the Democrats here have simply not put forth a competitive candidate against him;
Gillum in 2018, (who only lost by 0.4% of the vote,) who has since been indicted on wire fraud, conspiracy, and false statements charges
And Crist, the former REPUBLICAN Governor
“the ones that can read have already left the state.”
This kind of rhetoric - painting Florida as a Republican wasteland - is what DeSantis and his ilk want.
Not everyone has the means to leave (poor, minors, etc.), and pretending like these people don’t exist and disenfranchising them is playing right into DeSantis’s hands.
There are also those of us that consider Florida our home and hate to see it being abandoned and left to be devoured by DeSantis.
Florida was a solidly purple state pre-covid, but now fans of DeSantis are encouraged to move here and anyone that doesn’t like him and/or is threatened by his policies is encouraged to leave, strengthening his stranglehold on the state and giving him a solid base to work from.
If we instead encouraged people that don’t like DeSantis to stay/move here and vote/take action against him, it would be much easier to remove him from power.

So you’re welcome for that I guess.
There you go, proof of great leadership. DeSantis is literally Making America [Outside of Florida] Great Again.

I’m at least one anti Desantis vote in Florida. And I can read too.
…but you’re on teamevil
I know …it was a reference to McCain (not bad) and Palin (numbskull) but quite frankly they are near saints to this bullshit.
