DeSantis Goes to War
The American Mind ^ | 01/03/23 | Tom Klingenstein

Posted on 01/03/2023 11:22:21 AM PST by PoliticallyShort

People do not uproot themselves and leave the rhythms of home “for light and transient causes.” People are not coming to Florida just for the weather. They are fleeing the woke regime of blue America—an abusive, lawless, totalitarian regime which is waging war against American principles and the American way of life...For the American regime, a just society is one in which free men and women pursue happiness according to their abilities and according to nature. Such a society is one where merit rules. For the woke regime, on the other hand, a just society is one where the regime imposes identity group quotas based on victimhood rankings. Such a regime makes war on merit.

It’s one regime or the other.

Biden and Trump could hold a joint press conference declaring it.

Desantis is MAGA Lite, 1/3 less nationalism.

The way Biden is progressing it won’t be long before he’ll forget how to put his pants on or he won’t bother.

Why not, he’s not shy. If DeSantis is the #1 enemy of the country, why wouldn’t he go after him.

Does that mean DeSantis is obligated to promote vaccines, lockdowns, and wokeness in his state?

DeSantis is almost right! But IMHO Woke is a tactic more than the enemy. Being Woke is not “virtue” signaling, it’s obedience signaling! That whatever absurd insane lie our new global/BigTech/political feudal lords demand, we repeat and humbly assert as true. The enemy is same old totalitarianism of the past, its’ many failures hidden in Woke lingo. The tyrants don’t care if you believe their LIES, just that you assert them true. Then you’ve sunk to serfdom, slavery is next stop.

But some will still vote D. You know if they only had the right D everything would be better.

Drag show with children in Florida?

DeSantis revoked their liquor license.

DeSantis earned that endorsement from Trump by going on TV almost every night for months defending Trump from all his various problems/accusers. He also thanked Trump for that endorsement during his acceptance speech.

But for Trump, and his supporters, nothing less than 100%, permanent and unending support for him is acceptable. Since that’s not practical, more and more people are just saying no to that pressure. But carry on, soldier.

DeSantis revoked the liquor license from a restaurant that held a drag show where children were invited.

DeSantis is investigating another drag show where children were invited and men were simulating sex in front of them.

Trump partied with LGBT crowd and celebrated the horrible Defense of Marriage Act passed by the RINOs.
