Party of small government?

I figured surely this had to be bullshit.     

 

I mean, come on now:  in a democratically run society, we're supposed to believe a Republican official is seriously proposing a law that would force independent freelance bloggers to register with the state....and then literally report themselves any time they publish something that makes any mention of any elected state official?  

 

So much for the First Amendment and freedom of the press, right?   That sounds like some shit straight out of some Orwellian totalitarian playbook.

 

But it's absolutely true.    Here's a link to the actual bill that's filed with the Florida state senate.    Section 3. Section 286.31 Blogger registration and reporting  starts on page 5.

The guy who won the Republican nomination for governor in Wisconsin yesterday doesn't even live in Wisconsin. He's also got a significant chance to win and become governor of a state he doesn't even l

Republican politicians and associated committees are sending out desperate fundraising emails begging the GOP faithful to help save America by getting behind Herschel Walker in his Dec. 6 runoff race

While looking up that FLA blogger bill, I also stumbled across this other gem:  

a Florida senate bill that would offer greater protection and legal recourse for public figures who are accused of harassment or discrimination, even in the presence of  indisputable visual evidence proving their guilt .

Florida is basically trying to out-fascist the other red states 

 

Trump will end up attacking DeSantis for being a fascist, among other things.

 

The Trump/DeSantis fight is going to be glorious to watch.

None of this is surprising. Ideology wise DeSantis is far more dangerous than Trump because he actually believes his nonsense. Trump is just a grifter trying to hang on so he'll say whatever he thinks the masses what to hear.

It looks like, at least early, the comparison to Jeb Bush is a good one. He might fade quickly

DeSantis is also more competent.  Not a high bar, granted, but Trump would have been much more effective in his capricious presidency if he actually knew what the fuck he was doing and not surrounded by such a small cadre of his personally loyal idiots.

I'm not saying DeSantis is a better candidate or a bigger threat to win. I'm saying ideologically he's more dangerous. Hopefully Biden doesn't regress mentally and physically too much over the next few years because if he doesn't, he likely beats either one.

Biden sucks and will lose against any Republican candidate.   Failed policies, dementia, and corruption makes him unelectable.   Dems are better off finding another candidate that isn't a commie.

but,... any other Dem candidate will simply be labeled a commie or worse within a month's time by the right wing rage machine that's done a great job of keeping you irrationally angry and -- most important -- very pliable, full-throated Trump supporter.

And just for the record…”commie” refers to any candidate who expresses moderate / centrist views or anything short of extreme far-right conservative nationalism.
