DeSantis is a mass murderer.
It's one thing to have the state government refuse to endorse safety protocols, it's another thing to actively ban them.  What a tool. >

Right — moves from merely shortsighted toward malicious. >

He's literally legislating a platform to kill people. >

Ironically, his core demographic.
Everyone hush while he's busy kicking himself in his nuts. >

Then claim election fraud after many of your voters have died. >

It’s going to take a while for that to happen…more dipshits are moving there to die daily. >

I say sure, let him ban it and let the dipshit army move there.  Then when there's an outbreak, federally ban travel to-and-from Florida.  Let them simmer in the stew they're trying to cook. >

That means there'll be fewer voters voting for him, next time.
Unless they vote from the grave, that is. >

Republicans regularly vote from the grave. >

The ultimate Absentee Ballot >

I want to permanently ban DeSantis from Florida. >

Same… >

This guy wakes up every morning and thinks about how to be an even bigger asshole than he was the day before. >

Greg Stillson likes this. >

maybe a hurricane warning ban too >

Jesus Christ, does this yahoo have nothing better to do? Does he realize his state is in serious danger of being underwater in the not-too-distant future? >

Don't worry, he is planning to ban climate change mitigation. >


”… Florida is the land of sanity.”

Source? >

looks around
sorry I got nothing >

Why not outright ban hospitals next? >

Does DeSantis plan to win a single vote from non-Trump voters if he runs for President? It seems like a no so far. >

Party of small government is at it again I see. /s >

The party of small government is about to have a smaller constituency if they keep this anti-science bullshit up.
It’s hard to have sympathy for people who vote for these folks. I have to keep reminding myself that they’re brainwashed. >

This shameless trumphumping moron is CRIMINALLY NEGLIGENT in the loss of thousands of lives already. Now he is going to finish Florida off, just for his own political and financial gain, and arrogance and foolish pride. F'n DISGUSTING. >

Behold... The Republican Healthcare Plan: Die faster, unnecessarily, and more often. >

What is there to ban? You can't wear a mask if you want by your own choice? Seriously, there are basically are ZERO COVID Health Protocols in Florida and even most states. >

You can but private entities can't choose to not associate with unmasked individuals  if they don't feel comfortable associating with unmasked individuals. >

But if you go into a Hardee's with no shirt or shoes they get to tell you to get the hell out >

Yeah that’s fucking insane. Everyone is insane now. It’s exhausting >

Let them die, I'm  past giving  a shit. >

I sometimes worry that the apathy is the point, but - yeah - for fuck’s sake. >

Are we sure DeSantis isn’t Pestilence of the Four Horsemen? >

He worships Papa Nurgle. >

A great unclean one is going to be photographed as part of his campaign team when election time comes. >

Florida voters are willing to die to "own the libs". Wow, but not surprised. >

Would be nice if they'd die faster but not take the rest of us with them. >

DeathSentence indeed >

Why?
[yes, I know, but again I ask, Why?] >

"Many say these protocols are worth the temporary inconvenience because they could save the lives of hundred of thousa ds of Floridians. Well I say: NOT ON MY WATCH!" >

Only an asshole will risk other people’s lives for some bullshit political clout. >


Go anti-liberal/anti-woke measures to get Republicans to move to your states
Remove COVID measures while pushing anti-vax sentiment
Watch as there's now a bunch of your own voters all in one place to spread the disease and kill themselves
???
Profit...? >

I do wonder how this mass MAGA migration to Florida will affect 2024. Obviously it means that Florida is now a red state, but I wonder if it makes any purple states more competitive for Dems. >

All the antivaxxers and anti-maskers dying from covid certainly helps >

Dictators do crap like this, not elected temporary stewards of democracy 
Health and safety protocols should be determined by health and safety experts with additional input from various interests
Education by educators 
Voting regs by impartial secs of states 
Etc >

Obviously Desantis was real  impressed with just how well being crazy worked out for Trump.. >

Actively campaigning to kill his own supporters? Odd strategy. >

There will be a state that will straight up make mask wearing illegal and I’m almost willing to guarantee it’s going to be Florida.  The sheer drive by the right to infect everyone in an effort to kill the weak is fucking disgusting >

Don't forget...he's for LESS government intrusion... except when he's not for less government intrusion. For example, banning abortion, banning gay marriage, curbing stem cell research et al. Government in your schools, government in your laboratories, government in your bedrooms, government in your doctor's office...
The modern GOP! >

Well, then if he doesn't follow federal guidelines Florida shouldn't get federal funds. >


Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo also spoke at the news conference Tuesday and repeated his claim that masks are not effective in preventing the spread of the virus and dismissed the effectiveness of vaccines.

Does every single person in Florida have a double digit IQ? >

Of course not. 
Many of them have single-digit ones. >

So if a new deadly variant WERE to come to the state's shores the plan is to not do a fucking thing about it?
Gotta own the libs even if it's from the grave it appears. >

sounds woke as fuck >

I don’t understand the trend of being this rich and having such terrible haircuts? >

“DeSantis wants to kill everyone that voted for him” is the more accurate statement. >

I support this 1000% - Just with some caveats - no entering the mainland, no asking for any kind of federal help (including medicine or ventilators).
Have at it, morons >

And ban the distribution of life jackets.. >

Is it me or his leaning in way too much on these fascist-y gimmicks?
This will not play to a national audience. It may work with primary voters though. >

I think we should go a step further and ban hospitals, doctors and all healthcare from Florida.  I believe it would certainly improve the overall quality of the United States population. >

He and Trump do have 1 thing in common. If there is an obvious right and wrong policy, opinion, or view on a topic, he will choose the wrong one. Literally every time. >

Ban COVID, dumbass! >

Republicans learn nothing.
Guess they don't read those recent studies that show that more republicans died of covid. 
Keep pushing these stupid rules and there won't be enough republicans left to vote for you. >

Politicians are really smart and pretty much know everything about what is important. They have consultants and rich people throwing money at them so it must be true. >

Fuck this guy. >

Fucking idiot >

... And this is why my family and I will no longer go on vacation in Florida. >

Don't worry, if anything bad happens in Florida, it will most surely infect the rest of the country. >

Losing voters one way or another is his plan it seems...
Either by moving out of Florida, Changing political parties/go independent... Or three... Killing your more older voter base due to COVID.
What an age we live in. >

They were called boomer because of how many and how quickly they came into the world and I guess they plan on going out in a similar fashion. >

Great. I fully support Republicans killing their own base. >

Personally, I’m all for this.   It’s going to rapidly reduce the number of conservative voters in a state that needs fewer conservative voters. 
Win Win. >

Thin the herd Ron , thin that herd >

I can’t take this dorks constant culture warring >

Well if he’s that determined to kill off his constituents, then so be it. >

He wants to make viruses great again. >

Only someone who fully embraces the dark-triad traits of narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy would be so willing to kill people for power. >

It's so wild how the GOP gameplan is literally to do the dumbest things possible and be proud of it >

“Florida: One way or the other, you’re grandma’s gonna die here.” >

"Some of you may die...but that's a chance I'm willing to take." >

This guy really is batshit crazy or an absolute narcissistic psychopath >

No covid protocols? Sure. No covid funds/forgiveness, or resources to your state either. Than release another round of funding. And watch your constituents come crawling with their hand out asking you for their money.
Sorry, don't need the covid bail outs since covid doesn't exist in Florida. >

Just wondering if the Republicans got the memo on how many of their followers died because of protocols like this? 
And aren’t the Republicans always yapping about choice?? And freedom to make decisions??? >

Not surprised at all - he banned mask mandates in October 2020.
His laissez faire attitude towards COVID is a key differentiator between him and Trump. >

Laissez faire would be doing nothing. He’s dictating what even private businesses can and can’t do. >

I still cannot think of a single reason why republicans are trying to kill their own voters so hard. Are they just pure evil? Stupid? All of the above? >

Honestly at this point they believe all the covid lies i have dealt with people that really believe its the vaccine that has killed everyone and that bill gates and Fauci are behind it. They actually believe the misinformation my son was telling me about one local family who has pulled all there children from public school because they are afraid the children will be infected by other children who have had the vaccine. >

They being who? Not the GOP reps. They know for a fact it's all bullshit and have testified under oath to that. >

I'm in Texas, so excuse me... But who's still doing COVID mandates? 
Where I am, there aren't any COVID mandates or prescriptions in place. Do in just curious what he's trying to ban when he says why are we still doing this >

Not many are, but he wants to permanently ban COVID mandates. So if there is another outbreak in Florida it will run rampant because it will literally be against state law to stop it. He also wants to limit the state medical board from reprimanding state physicians who spread COVID misinformation.  Both he and his surgeon general are doing a speed run back into medieval times. From a medical standpoint it’s absolutely nuts. >

Fascists gonna fascism. >

Can he do that? Like tell private companies they can't have employees with the vaccine? >

How ironic. A "Prescribe Freedom" event and he chooses to take away private entity's freedom of association. >

Might as well ban those lighting alarms installed at parks and playgrounds ....   
Ban NOAA hurricane alerts..
Ban front locks on all doors ... >

One thing I see with this is that he's in line with the Republican position handed down by Donald Trump to him COVID is like the flu >

DeSantis is an idiot. >

Leading the death cult. >

Government getting between people and their doctors? >

What a fucking asshole >

Manslaughter charges in 5… 4… 3… >

1 side is for science and the other side is not....  the side that does not... has a name. >


added a new ban on medical boards reprimanding doctors for spreading COVID misinformation.

???? >

Leader of all Knobs >

Dems are actively trying to instigate a match up with DeSantis and Trump. Can I imagine what DeSantis would do as leader of the U.S.?  Look at what he’s doing in Florida. He’s almost more of a danger to democracy and freedoms as trump is. >

The citizens of Florida decide; not him for them. >

Go for it >

Sure, why not? Florida only has some of the highest covid deaths in the nation, higher than NY. And that's with the crap Cuomo did. >

What's it gonna take for Greater America to write Florida off? >

I wanna see Mickey take him down (issues with them aside) >

Just when you think Florida can't get any dumber, DeSantis says here hold my beer. >

We are in the idiocrasy timeline no doubt about it. >

Fine, the next outbreak just call them SARS-COV-2 restrictions. >

I’m trying to feel bad for the people of Florida but they voted him in so this is on ju what they want? >

Cause he’s psychic and knows exactly what the future holds? >

The US is so fucking terrible 😅 >

What a fucking moron >

Pretty sure that’s criminal negligence >

Why don't they just ban COVID instead? >

He’s such a shitty little megalomaniac, isn’t he. >

This guy is next level delusional. And it’s a scary thought that he might run for President and the scarier thought is that he might beat Biden. >

Article is paywalled. 
Any word if individual measures one would take to protect themselves are being targeted? >

He should go all the way and deem himself a Florida-healthcare professional!  Dr. DeSantis! >

Pretty sure businesses have the right to mandate masking if they choose. >

Lots of older people  in Florida , many if not the majority  of them might just reap what they sowed by voting for him. If they are happy being on the front lines why would I  care. >

Targeting a shrinking demographic >

Why didn’t anyone else think of that?
/s >

Can we permanently ban DeSantis from positions of power? >

Fuckinh idiot. I'm tired of playing to the base of stupid. >

In 2023? How brave to take a stand. >

RIP cruise industry >

Ok, well. That's cool and all but maybe ban something useful? Like insurance companies charging insane amounts or out of state corporations buying homes to turn into outrageously priced rentals?   
- Sincerely,  
People having to consider selling their home and moving out of the only state they've ever lived because they got notice yesterday their homeowners insurance has finally exceeded their income, effective March 1st. Fuck you, DeSantis. >

Used to visit Florida and Texas. Used to....  Never again until the people of those states reject and replace the unhinged, performative and vindictive nut jobs. >

Little fascist says what? >

The federal government should play hardball and cut off all Medicare and Recovery Act money as long as the Florida government deliberately engages in acts of bad faith that undermine public health. You want to go it alone? Be my guest, and do it without my tax money. >

This is dangerous as fuck. How in the hell is this asshole in any position of power and the presumptive Republican presidential candidate? >

Not to be outdone by China’s removal of COVID restrictions to flush out the top heavy elderly population, DeSantis is embracing policies that will actually relieve the Medicare and Social Security rolls.  Allowing these programs to remain solvent well past the year 2050. >

This guy wants to be president? Not happening if he continues what he’s doing. >

I swear this guy was just praised by the media a while back for his covid response! What an moRon(pun intended)! Florida deserves what it gets! >

Who keeps voting for these clowns? >

As far as I knew most Florida residence aren't following those rules anyway. Not even my super liberal friends that live there. Even though those same friends lost a grandmother and a friend of 20 years to Covid.
