If DeSantis wins

And social skills, humour, running a business, telling the truth, keeping a relationship, sticking to a promise, protecting his staff, protecting "the children" from "adult material", using technical terms correctly, not looking dumb, not being a kunt, being a father, looking somewhat sober...shit, could go on all day at this rate. Edit: oh yeah almost forgot not being intimately involved with Epstein!
I would like to believe that Trump is an easy candidate to beat in a general election, considering his shenanigans last time he was in office.
He lost last time and that was without the sixth of January having happened yet. I would like to think that moderates and independents dropped off as potential voters for him.
Yeah he knows. We all saw the rocket explode.
Which to be fair, at least the rocket got off the platform. Hard to say the same thing about Desantis
Sure, he might have lost a fair chunk of potential voters. But there are a great number of other factors.
A major one might be turnout. Trump may really enthuse the right into action, where the centre and left are apathetic and unenthused with ho-hum Biden. So Trump loses voters on 2020, but the Democrats lose more.
One might hope that the threat of Trump would bring out Democratic voters.
Then there's also the issue of abortions that could potentially energize voters.
Although I can also see people not showing up because of them thinking; "we've got this in the bag".
The abortion issue caused the GOP to lose almost all women voters for generations. That's why they're going so hard into the drag queen story hour and trans kids - they're hoping the same "save the baby!" crowd will show up to save the children vote.
And that's not just me being cynical - leaks documents from GOP meetings show they're using the drag show shit to get abortion out of the headlines ahead of the 2024 election.
That's the thing with zealots, they're really motivated.
Gee I wonder what Elon asked for in exchange for doing Desantis' Twitter campaign launch: https://www.rollingstone.com/politi...musk-spacex-spaceflight-liability-1234742632/
Republicans: Totally pro-business when said business is okay with a little quid pro quo.
Just look at California. Or tons of other cities with horrible policy that they blame conservatives for when conservatives literally have no voice whatsoever in those policies because the entire legislation are comprised of democrats.
Post the text of the bill that says that.
Worse stuff happened to that guy than any teacher in Florida. Any law that you pass will be tested in court, it's both good and bad, it's just how it is.
Why do you think those studies are trans-women athletes vs cis-women non-athletes? I don't know why you're so adamant that trans-women and cis-women are equals physically. There's literally things you can't reverse that's apart of normal development for both sexes. It's pretty basic logic is that chances are pretty low that we'd be able to completely turn a male into female in physical ability. Thus, if that is your claim, you have to prove it, and where is this proof?
That book wasn't banned.Well, he just got a very bland and terminally inoffensive call for unity banned
Florida school blocks younger students from reading Amanda Gorman's 'The Hill We Climb' poem
Amanda Gorman slams national school book bans in response to Bob Graham Education Center banning her 2020 inaugural poem The Hill We Climb.www.usatoday.com
Because, as we saw with his textbook ban, helping people is woke and should be banned
There's quite a few differences anatomically between the sexes that you can't reverse so yeah... I'm going need to see data saying it's fair.
Oh so Musk isn't trying to get to Mars, he's making the next gen ICBMs. I mean I should have figured. The Trek-Bro image was just a façade the whole time.
Why are you so against so many people? The point of the launch (that Musk probably has hardly anything to do with) was to figure out what works and what doesn't. Just look at things how they are instead of trying to put your preferred narrative over everything. You're literally mocking Musk for a science experiment that wasn't supposed to actually work that he had no part in. Why?
Post the text of the bill that says that.
Thankfully, you'll be able to supply your law expertise and get this all cleaned up, as you are smarter than every other lawyer
Like, what is your actual argument, that these pesky trans people are medically detransitioning when they don't have to in order to unfairly impugn Republicans?
And fucking what then? Option A) it fails the court test after costing large amounts of time, money and stress, and you start arguing we shouldn't be mad at the GOP because other people stopped their batshit discriminatory law, or B) it passes and we can't get mad at the GOP because it's obviously legal? At what point are we allowed to be mad at the right, precisely? Hell, you pretend to be left-leaning and I'm asking for citations at this point
False, he was not investigated by a State enforcement agency for potential criminal legal action. He wasn't suspended. He didn't resign. He only temporarily stopped teaching one class. The fact that you consider his situation as *worse* that potentially facing jail time for showing a fucking Disney movie is literally insane

Only woke liberals rent though, so republicans are fine with it.
I can't imagine this going poorly at all. At all.
Is why it's important to take notice of what Ron does in regards to corporate/financial regulatory areas - what he says out loud is meaningless fanservice - yet the wealthiest of donors are banking their money on him for specific results, these kinds results - this deregulation is their end goal: they ain't running out of money, connections nor motivation to keep lobbying to push further towards it neither, and it's not like a lot of them have anything better to do at the top of the pyramid. Understanding the ruthlessness and absurdly unequal access to political representation is essential to formulating more effective political strategies against these ghouls' dehumanising, cruel devotion to avarice.

Good old stupid people on twitter. The two things described, both described dishonestly, aren't even in the same bill.

Actually its pretty close.
HB133 does in fact not place a limit on fees landlords can charge:
DeSantis Signs Bill to Let Landlords Charge Nonrefundable “Junk Fees” Rather Than Deposits
The bill is aimed at making “Florida into a cash cow” for corporate landlords, one housing advocate said.
truthout.org
and then SB102 does in fact ban local governments from issuing rent controls:
Florida House passes ‘Live Local Act,’ which bans rent control, gives tax breaks to developers
Senate President Kathleen Passidomo’s $711 million effort to make housing more affordable for working Floridians is headed to Gov. Ron DeSantis.
It does not place a specific numerical cap on what the fees are. It does, however, say that the fees can only be an option taken knowingly by renters, with a signed agreement by the renters, in the place of a security deposit that must also be an option both before and after agreeing to such fees, so those fees can be opted out of at any time, and can never be charged without giving the option for a traditional security deposit. That is a lot of limits.Actually its pretty close.

Rent controls were already effectively banned in Florida. The law in Florida allowed rent control only if the local government made the argument that lack of affordable housing presented a "serious menace to the general public", then called a public hearing with notice for citizens to attend, and then have the measure approved directly by the voters on a ballot. There were already no rent control policies in effect in the state of Florida before the bill. And this is in a bill that's putting hundreds of millions into affordable housing investment, putting extra limitations and requirements on land developers, while weakening some of the authorities of localities that have NIMBY'd residential development out of their neighborhoods. The bill was introduced by members of both parties, and passed unanimously through committee and the Florida senate, with only 5 Democrats in the entire state House of Florida voting against it.and then SB102 does in fact ban local governments from issuing rent controls:

To describe that as Desantis banning rent control is deeply dishonest.
