The Left is terrified of DeSantis and wants Trump for the nominee: Change my mind

I consider the government that maintained such policy "for longer than necessary" and thus ruining a business and someones livelihood as just as much authoritarian as controlling their training. Neither are the job of government.

 

And you are using the qualifier to actually mean "for longer than Tilly deems as necessary" but would prefer that not be the framing but rather that your opinions be treated as factual.

 

These people?

 

The great thing about DeSantis is in order to attack him you have to go after his policies. Unlike most politicians who you can go after by saying he/she is a p____ grabber or a hair sniffer or 1/1024th indian or deleted e-mails or smoked crack. With DeSantis outside of his politics the only personal thing they have been able to dig up on him is he once wore white rubber boots.

 

Are you? That is not a geographic area. It is a legal entity that has the right to build all sorts of stuff (DeSantis even floated building a prison on their controlled land).

 

Liberal actor. Well done. He would be appalled at you using his likeness.

 

he wants the fbi/doj to do bidding of the potus. Surely maga can see the problems with potus having this power over law enforcement.


“DeSantis said he believes the DOJ and FBI have become partisan because previous Republican leaders simply "accepted the canard" that the two departments act independently.

"They answer to the elected president of the United States," DeSantis said. "So as president, you have a responsibility to be involved in holding those agencies accountable, clearing out people who are not doing the job.”

Ron DeSantis said he would fire FBI Director Christopher Wray on day one

 

Its literally the same thing, they just renamed it and put some Desantis cronies in charge. Its still a special district with the powers of a county/local government and tax privileges.

 

with a super majority that is afraid of him and much of his legislation ahs been struck down by the courts or is still in the courts. either way I doubt that the majority of america wants a dictator like him in office

 

A while ago I would have said DeSantis was a bigger threat in the general than Trump. Now I’m not so sure. DeSantis has made political blunder after blunder, and comes off as an arrogant little prick. He just doesn’t appear ready for prime time. As crazy as Trump is, he can be relatable when he wants to be.

DeSantis best playbook will be to just slog through, and hope Trump disqualifies himself with legal issues, and Biden disqualifies himself with health or cognitive issues. But Biden would really have to deteriorate a lot in 18 months for that to happen.

 

I love listening to Desantis threaten to put a prison next to disney. It is leadership at the highest caliber and showing that he takes his job as Governor for Only Conservative Floridians seriously. A job of his well understood.

 

My point is there really isnt a line for "authoritarian" ot sort of is or is not and frankly can be necessary at times. The term, like many today is watered down and thrown about.

 

Meh, you either believe the state has the power to shut down businesses for health safety or not. Conservative states used that power as well. The length of time is just a policy discussion of when to relax the rules, not an authority discussion.

 

is this a serious question?

firing school boards
firing college boards
Disney
don't say gay law
illegal voting districts
villages rep imprisoned for opposition
firing the DA
outlawing abortion
election police
pulling liquor licenses for drag shows
forcing UF to hire his lapdog surgeon general who is totally unqualified to treat my dog, let alone be surgeon general
firing anybody that he feels disagrees with him
book banning

do I need to go on?

 

I think this is correct. Though I think even if Biden stays Biden, DeSantis would look vigorous and energetic without even trying. Trump does endless rallies (but I think is viewed as a loose cannon) and will at least look more active. Covid kinda helped Biden in that he could do a lot less, this campaign will be a lot different, the low energy thing isnt going to be as favorable to him. They are going to need to stock up on those good drugs.

 

Thats sort of my point city. We can all claim terms when they suit us and technically are right.

 

Protecting the people from infectious disease is not the job of government?

 

Unlike ya'll, I don't hate actors just because they may be liberal.
