It’s a debate that has roped in Disney, prompted a skit on Saturday Night Live and even compelled Luke Sykwalker to weigh in.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis knows how to get people talking, and usually is the one steering the conversation to favorable political ground. That’s been a tougher task with HB 1557, legislation formally known as the Parental Rights in Education act but labeled by critics the “Don’t Say Gay” bill.

DeSantis is poised to sign the bill into law. The roiling political debate generated by the legislation is certain to continue after the ink dries on the governor’s signature, though.

1. DeSantis is building his rightwing portfolio for the run for the Presidency

He will do anything to grab all of the 40% of hard core right, believing that enough "moderate" Republicans will join him for a win.

DeSantis should not become President for the very reason of how bad he wants it. Where Trump is just a clown with delusions of grandeur, DeSantis is evil to the core and would do everything in his power to drive the final stake into our Democracy.
