Could also be written Ron DeathSentence. What on earth did Florida voters see in him, in the first place?

(16,856 posts)Florida isn't on the border and Mexican immigrants aren't coming to Florida in droves and spreading the plague to the population. From what I've seen in articles about Covid victims, it seems like most Floridians in the hospital with Covid are white, or at least they aren't Mexicans. It's people who are too fucking obstinate to go and get a free vaccine that's available just about everywhere.

(47,602 posts)because he knows who his constituents are. He may be highly educated, but he knows they are not. Trump proved that you can say anything and they won't fact-check you.

(47,602 posts)I swear these republican politicians have been using the same damn script for decades, only changing a word here and there to tag a different group to demonize. They don't sell their policies and expertise, they sell fear and hate, because hey, it keeps on working.

Chances are pretty good that they're the same people that won't get over those god damned emails.

This whole "the surge in COVID vases is being caused by tons of immigrants illegally crossing the border" seems to be the new trumper go-to so they don't have to blame themselves for the COVID resurgence. I see that all the way from TX to IL and WA state. Even saw someone posting from Alaska complaining about COVID-positive illegal Mexicans yesterday.
The level of cognitive dissonance these so-called people have is incredible. I mean, seriously, they cannot even acknowledge reality when it is killing them.

(8,812 posts)May want to take a good look at his open ports with unmasked, in vaccinated cruise ship people going and returning from countries with massivevout breaks. The Columbia variant, reportedly worse that Delta and Lambda will get in via Miami. The mist used port entry from Columbia. And DeSatan and his cult are traveling all over the country. Here in WNC Floridiots are thick vacationing here. And when fall colors arrive, they are a thick as a free MAGA KKKlan rally featuring Trump and all his spawn in Georgia, MTGs district, with free bud light in AmurKKKan flag cans wait until college football kick off in those red state venues. They travel to all states for games, lots of shit and lots of fans are on the horizon.

(6,212 posts)I figured that, since he was setting up for a Presidential run, he was showing off his ignorance to the Trump base as a way of endearing himself with them.
Hey Ronnie, you need to pay more attention to your own state. You've got some serious Covid shit going on down there. Or is your callous indifference to the health of Floridians more of your pandering to the Trump base? Yeah, I guess it is.

(1,910 posts)Wants so bad to be the 2024 nominee so he went as extreme as he could. Worked well for a while, but then delta variant came with a vengeance.
Now he is stuck, he can not moderate at all or the MAGATs will turn on him, but he has lost any possibility with independents and suburbans in 2024 in PA, MI, WI.
Lots of people died and suffered thanks to his blind ambitions.

(43,295 posts)Meanwhile, the old GOP is working the phones ... I get calls, I'm invisible, yet my GQP Congressman calls me, the polling places call me, some Republicans want me to grab the Senate with them .... again this is very abnormal, they are leaving no stone unturned. We are being duped into inaction.
To all DUers I say, become active. Your local committeeman or woman, the events, fundraisers, the County Committee ... everywhere in the USA there is one, even if it's in a red state ... they all need energy and manpower ... outreach is as important as all the funding emails they send ...
Become active people!

(20,006 posts)Texas "governor" Greg Abbott scapegoated immigrants as far back as March, maybe earlier, and Iowa "governor" Kim Reynolds scapegoated migrants just last week. GQP loves the big lies and bullshit.

(778 posts)There was a recent poll and if the election would have been held just a few days ago, Charlie Crist would have barely beaten him. Nikki Freid would have lost to him. 🤔🤔🤔 Maybe that's why I think several people I encounter are really stupid.
