    Ah got it. College Board isnt changing the curriculum (which runs afoul of Florida law) so schools just going to nix the class altogether. Dumb.
    The other thread on this is pretty informative too.

    Man has been shouting from the rooftops for at least a couple years now that he's an authoritarian freak. Some people seem to dig that.

    They believe him. They just think they’re on the right side.

    Ask Sarasota about his veto pen today.

    no they don't. Pubs do. It is a shame that they call themselves cons & think they are cons. The party has never been conservative, but I guess at some pt if the vast maj of people who claim to be cons say THIS BS is conservatism, that's what conservatism will be. sad. My father was a conservative. He would not even understand the BS the pubs are talking about.

    DeSantis has his pathetic little war with Disney. Disney's approvals remain basically the same. DeSantis's approvals tank.

    Wow. That is a disaster. Basically he has alienated moderates with abortion, Disney, etc and Trump has made him look like a wuss among republicans. Poor MBR.

    That’s the thing. There is no fixed definition of conservatism. The conservatism it seems you aspire to is actually historical global liberalism, eg freedoms, democracy individual rights and free markets. Republicans used to support some of that. Kind of. Now conservatives are more aligned to historical global paleo conservatism - cultural, religious and authoritarian conservatism.

    Goodly number of Florida Republicans: “Damn! I know DeSantis said he was going to do A and B. That’s why I voted for him. But holy hell, I didn’t really expect him to do it!”

    For those wondering if it's Dee-santis or Duh-santis, it's actually Iscariot
