"SNIP.......

Washington Post: “The Conservative Political Action Conference, an activist jamboree that has long been a hive of anti-political correctness, helped launch and sustain Donald Trump’s political career. But another Republican took the CPAC stage this week to deliver indignation and defiance that left little doubt he sees himself as an heir to the former president’s role as the right’s commander in America’s deepening cultural wars.”

“Addressing thousands at CPAC’s Orlando confab, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis blasted what he called the country’s ‘biomedical security state’ for encouraging vaccine and face mask mandates. He slammed corporations and universities for being ‘infected’ with a ‘woke virus’ that is trying to ‘tear at the fabric of society.’ And the governor called on Americans to put on the ‘full armor of God’ to combat liberals.”

1. Sounds like a flat speaker.

[sop]

2. DeSantis is a demagogic, racist, hateful, divisive, corrupt POS.

Florida's had some bad governors over the years, but this guy is the worst.

[Hotler]

3. He's a fascist... nt

4. "Full armor of God"--what even is that?

[sop]

5. Sucking up to the christofascists.

His speeches are peppered with code words and phrases appealing to the religious right.

6. He knows the words but not the music.

7. I would love for someone to ask him...

The definition of critical race theory.

[sop]

8. Even an accurate definition of CRT would be banned by fascists like DeSantis.

By necessity, any honest explanation of critical race theory would have to include the concept of racial injustice in America, something the bookburners don't even want to mention.

10. Great point. What they really hate is the truth.

[CrispyQ]

9. If he can get Trump's endorsement, he'll be golden with the cult.

But can he? Someone said he looks stupid but he's pretty sharp. Much smarter than Trump.

[crickets]

11. DeSantis wants to run for president. Oof. nt

[spanone]

12. Where do they find these fuckers?

[Crunchy Frog]

13. He basically wants a civil war in this country.

He wants Americans to hate each other. It helps the kleptocrats to get even more for themselves.
