I remember his ad when he was first running for governor holding his child on his lap and talking about Trump. It was so sickening. I disagree with Mitt Romney’s policies, but he doesn’t give me the heebie jeebies. DeSantis and Trump both do, along with several other slimy Republicans..

Maybe there is a polite euphemism for it, or maybe they'll just call it being a "lab tech."

guns, Covid, or back-alley abortions don't kill you, then you're forced out if you're an immigrant, poor, gay or trans. If he's elected POTUS, the U.S. will operate similarly. Fascism not only deports people, it kills them.

In the past, I rarely used that word. But now with this new crop of trmp rethugs, I'm having to use it quite often. "Leaders" who enjoy hurting their own constituents, including children. And the lessons he's teaching them, among other things: it's okay to bully and harm the LGBTQ community and exploit / traffic / lie to refugees. Black history doesn't matter. Anything related to civil rights and justice is "woke" and should be banned. If there's a deadly pandemic, who TF cares? Everyone should focus on themselves only, even if it kills others. Votes don't matter. To stay in power, they will do anything: lie, cheat, steal. Divide and conquer, even if the country fails as a result.

Tiny d is a terrible, toxic and evil person. I can't believe Florida is truly headed in that direction. Especially what they said last time about Florida going to him by 19 points when it was a virtual tie in 2018? 🙄 And nobody questions it. It's really sad and alarming.
