Definitely DeSantis was right. I live in North Florida...in the only blue county up here, Duval, blue because of the presence of lots of people from the NE. Our mayor, the idiotic Lenny Curry, is theoretically a Republican but has issued so many mandates that he has crushed local businesses, which have just begun to come back once DeSantis made Lenny back off a bit on store, restaurant and bar closings.
However, Lenny set up his own mask police. DeSantis declared the fines unenforceable, but it’s still very disturbing to see bicycle mounted mask police entering a restaurant or even outdoor public gathering. Jacksonville is a city that is unable to control its murder rate, almost entirely driven by half of the black male population attempting to kill the other half (not to mention the innocent bystanders). But that would be too hard to do anything about.
And what’s even worse, is that the lib Karens up here - mostly older white women and young white men - seem to spend every waking moment calling up Lenny’s hotline to squeal on their local businesses, churches, etc.
Go DeSantis! I hope he’s president someday.
DeSantis/Noem 2024! (Because Trump can't run for a third term)
