    Like that is some permission to go completely off the rails and attack Disney and put in place a 6 week abortion ban that is NOT supported by the majority of Floridians. You mean that?

    Your attempt at analogy will marginally work a bit .... if you allow the slave to make the decision. Otherwise just another feeble try. Telling I'd say that you're trying to go back 150+ yrs. to justify taking rights away. SMH

    LOL. Of course YOU would think that. You throw reality out the window constantly. You live in your own little bubble and NOTHING can change your mind. You are too rigid for me. Propaganda has poisoned your mind to the point you can't admit to reality. You have no proof just your opinions that you present as fact even though they are shown to be in FACT, wrong.

    Always an excuse. :D

    Actually he attacked Disney before he was re-elected. So I don't need to speculate, it already happened.

    He was re-elected in early November 2022.

    He threatened to revoke Disney's special tax district in March or April 2022.

    Gov. Ron DeSantis clears a way to revoke Disney’s special district in Florida. (Published 2022)

    Why? Slaves weren't legally recognized as people right?

    I'm not trying to take peoples' rights away, I'm protecting the most fundamental of rights of the unborn.

    Huh?

    You asked a question and I answered it. DeSantis was reelected in Epic fashion. He has supported life from the beginning. He has been calling out Disney since long before he was reelected.

    The funny thing is you are defining how you live outside reality. Keep it up. It is amusing.

    His assertion is meritless (false equivalency) and only intended to outrage, I think.

    Your comment about miscarriages involves issues of the legal and medical understanding of fetal development. His response on recognition of Black people as individuals involves civil rights and equality. Two different issues with different historical, social, and ethical considerations. To conflate them for scoring points is offensive and unproductive.

    There is also an illogical gem of insinuating that because black people had not rights before they were recognized as people, fetuses are people because they currently have no rights. Moronic.

    How do you explain what happened in Kansas and Wisconsin if abortion is supported by the majority? Those are red states. The PEOPLE went against their elected officials.

    Agree to a certain extent. Once the child is viable(whatever doctors say it is) then no, a woman shouldn't be free to get an abortion unless its for a medically cleared reason. We had a good compromise and think we should be back to that. Dumb decision by the R's on this and it cost them in 22 and will again in 24.

    You asked about DeSantis. And made the ignorant implication that he somehow was not strong about the Life movement and was not hard on Disney before he was re-elected.

    He signed an abortion bill in 2022 leading up to the election and has been fighting with Disney since long before the election.

    You really have trouble with reality…

    I’ve said it since it happened. Would’ve been a landslide for R’s in 22 but they blew it. No remorse for them. I moved from the right a few years ago when they put forth that idiot trump.

    Meatball Ron's positions on Disney and abortion weren't factors in his reelection. The most significant factor was his decision to reopen the state as quickly as possible from the Covid lockdowns. Florida is a state which is heavily dependent on tourism and the lockdowns killed the state's economy. Lifting them generated a significant economic rebound. Nevada was another state also heavily dependent on tourism in which the lockdowns were most likely the deciding issue. In that state the only Democrat to lose a statewide election was the incumbent governor who supported the lockdowns.

    This graph below illustrates the point. Unemployment peaked at 8.1%. By time DeSantis ran for reelection it was around 2.5%.

    I don’t disagree with that at all. He was the best governor during Covid and it was certainly the strongest reason for his Epic win. But let’s not act like he was not strong on the Life position and battling with Disney leading up to the election like @middleoftheroadgator tried to ignorantly imply.

    This post is a marginally (a bit) feeble attempt at an English paragraph
