"SNIP....



“Gov. Ron DeSantis has become arguably the most powerful governor in Florida’s history,” Politico Politico reports.

“With one year left in his first term in office, DeSantis’ consolidation of power has become clear: Democrats, who are in the minority, are unable to stop him. And Republicans in the Florida Legislature are enthusiastically carrying out his wishes or are unwilling to buck him.”

Said one GOP legislator: “They are not going to embarrass Ron DeSantis. Ron DeSantis is essentially the speaker of the House, the president of the Senate and the chief justice of the Supreme Court right now.”

Said a former legislator: “There are no second chances. It’s well known you can’t go against him. If you cross him once, you’re dead.”

3. Other GOP governors are emulating his techniques

5. Including the Premier of Alberta. His popularity has tanked and

he lost the federal election for conservatives. The Liberals won because the suburbs in Toronto, made up of people from everywhere in the world in 2 or 3 generations, said "**** that lying, misinformation, autocratic ****!" And did not vote for conservatives.

4. And he has not shown fealty to Trump and promised not to run for President in 2024 if Trump does.

Hopefully he'll get a nickname pretty soon.

6. Democracy falls, state by state.

7. The odds of living if you listen to him are not great either
