'It's death to public discourse': First Amendment expert on Florida bills targeting media workers

[Rhiannon12866]

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is seen by many as apparently creating the right-wing "safe space" that Marjorie Taylor Greene seemed to ask for--a space where the children of certain white Christians will never have to learn anything that makes their right-wing parents uncomfortable. Joy Reid and her panel discuss the Florida bills and new laws passed by Republicans that experts say infringe on the First Amendment. - The ReidOut - MSNBC - Aired on 03/06/2023.

1. DeFascist seems to be an ever bigger snowflake than Donald Fucking Trump

Ron cannot HANDLE the media so he needs to GET RID OF THEM

[Rhiannon12866]

2. He tries to control them by bullying them, not a good look

How anyone can support either of these ill tempered and controlling guys for public office is totally beyond me.

4. see that's the thing

the idiotic repuke base sees this as a one-way thing: the voices of uppity women, POC, LGBTQ - you know, the usual "libtards" will be silenced - repukes would be throwing HUGE SHIT FITS if a Democratic governor was talking fascist shit like this

[Rhiannon12866]

5. Basically, they can't take it when those they don't support speak out

Which includes Joe Biden delivering the State of the Union Address! So they insult and cause distractions, repeatedly make fools of themselves - what they do is throw tantrums!

6. it's actually worse than that

they don't think women / POC / LGBTQ folk etc. should HAVE ANY RIGHTS, and it shows in EVERYTHING THEY DO

[Rhiannon12866]

7. Then what's the story with MTG, she thinks she has more rights than the president

She makes it a point to disrupt and cause chaos wherever she goes...

9. useful tool

although, they're probably thinking, be careful what you wish for

[Rhiannon12866]

10. Exactly. She goes off and makes a fool of herself at any opportunity.

3. The only good thing about what the DeFascist is doing

Is that he's doing it NOW, giving the entire country a horrifying preview of the kind of psychopath, authoritarian leader he would be if elected president. Now, let's hope enough voters are paying attention AND are sufficiently horrified!!

8. Yep! I thought he'd be smart enough to soften up the

rhetoric just to get elected then go full fascist. Happy to see he’s another over educated asshole.
