1. I gave you a Rec for Rhonda. I also like calling him DeSatan 👿

[rzemanfl]

4. Mineral Man came up with that. I stole it. n/t

[Susan Calvin]

19. Really?

I respectfully suggest that both of you might want to rethink it. Now Ron DeSatan I am totally fine with. Because satanists are usually parodists. I'm tempted to say always.

[peppertree]

2. No problem: de Satan intends to steal it.

Flawrida: The American Latin America.

[malaise]

3. Nicely played

[rzemanfl]

5. Thank you. n/t

[Susan Calvin]

22. Um. No. nt

[Susan Calvin]

29. Um. No.

Unless I am seriously missing something. If I am, please inform me.

[rzemanfl]

6. I just recommend my own post to get it to the Greatest Page.

Shame on me!

[Susan Calvin]

28. I ask you, what is the point of Rhonda? nt

[Bucky]

31. When you call a man by a woman's name you're implying he's weak

Cause, see, women are weak and timid and hysterical. A woman is not up for the tough manly job of being governor, so renaming him a weak woman is the clever way of pointing out that Ron DeSantis lacks the hairy swinging sweaty testicles to do manly testicular governor stuff. Also they're bad drivers and they're constantly shopping for shoes and going to the bathroom in pairs.

Does that help?

[Susan Calvin]

39. Yes, I know that.

I was mentioning it, maybe to subtly apparently, to the OP.

[MineralMan]

7. Ha! Rhonda, indeed...

[rzemanfl]

8. I admitted my theft up thread.

That poor woman has taken a shitload of flack for not wanted to lie to the citizens of this state.

[Susan Calvin]

23. Wait, there's a backstory?

Exactly who is the poor woman, if I may ask?

[Susan Calvin]

25. Are you referring to some actual woman?

I will admit I don't immediately or call the name of the woman he sent the police after.

[MineralMan]

34. Not a theft. You're just helping it go viral.

Thanks!

[rzemanfl]

35. Some people say it is a sexist meme that is going viral.

[MineralMan]

36. It's not, though. It's about pissing off the Governor of Florida.

It's also about the sounds of words being sometimes confusing.

[Tanuki]

38. Thanks for mansplaining sexism. 🤮 You're not pissing off DeSantis.

He doesn't give a rat's ass. This is offensive to women and it needs to stop.

[Susan Calvin]

30. Why?

That is my question. What is the point of calling that guy that I definitely hate by a female name? Is there some backstory that I am missing?

[rzemanfl]

33. Please see what got started here.

I think most people pronounce it "Rhonda Santis." They are all sexist pigs!

[greatauntoftriplets]

9. I'm so happy for her.

What they did to her was beyond the pale.

[Susan Calvin]

20. Excuse me? nt

[greatauntoftriplets]

24. Rebekah Jones.

Read the linked article.

[Susan Calvin]

26. How does that relate to Rhonda?

Yes, absolutely know who she is.

[Susan Calvin]

27. Where did Rhonda come from?

That's what I'd like to know. It sure doesn't seem related to The Whistleblower except by the first initial, or maybe Help Me Rhonda.

[Tommy Carcetti]

10. Raises hand here. nt

[Susan Calvin]

21. Really? nt

[ShazzieB]

11. Calling a man by a nickname that implies he's a woman is misogynistic and inappropriate.

You can drag DeSantis to hell and back as far as I'm concerned. He deserves all that and more. But gendered insults of anyone are no bueno.

This is a Democratic forum, not some MAGAt cesspool. We should have higher standards here.

[johnp3907]

12. Seriously.

What is this crap? Are we missing something here, or is it just flat out misogyny?

[Ms. Toad]

13. You're not missing a thing. Unfortunately.

The standard line is . . . in 3-2-1:

Anything goes in attacking Republicans; I'm not insulting women (despite the fact that misgendering him is clearly intended as something positive) - It's the hypocrisy, or that I'm only using it becaue it will offend him.

Tired of this crap.

[Susan Calvin]

18. Thank you. nt

[Susan Calvin]

17. Thank you. nt

[obamanut2012]

41. Seriously, it's appalling

[Ms. Toad]

14. Please delete this misogynistic crap.

Using a female name to insult a male is misogynistic and offensive.

[Susan Calvin]

16. What I just said, thank you. nt

[Susan Calvin]

15. Help me Rhonda?

Otherwise I totally understand the point? How is giving him a female name making fun of him? I guess I don't understand.

[JoeOtterbein]

32. +1

I don't get it either. Ron is his name. Call him by it.

[Autumn]

37. Ron DeSantis is a disgusting asshole. Calling HIM a woman's name is disgusting

and offensive.

[Bucky]

40. Amen

[obamanut2012]

42. I cannot believe this was allowed to stay posted here

Bey9ond sexist. Are you proud of yourself?

[kcr]

43. I can't believe this is still here

Shame on DU
