This isn't true at all. He's a maga darling outside of Florida. "I wish he was our governor" I heard many times during the start of covid.
In January, Smith had ruled that a 17-year-old teenager was unfit to obtain an abortion as he questioned her “overall intelligence”.

So not smart enough to be allowed to get an abortion but smart enough to raise a kid for the next 18 years?
That's some backwards ass logic right there. >

DeSantis wants to remind voters that this is the America he envisions. Birth panels run by conservative politicians.
DeSantis is exactly the flavor of Republican than the Republican voter rebelled against in picking Trump to destroy. This idea that he'll pick up Trump voters by acting this way is laughable. >

He appeals to both the religious and the sovcit nuts. I know, I live in this God-forsaken state.
The sovcits love him because of his vaccine rhetoric. The religious love him for his anti-lgbtq+ and abortion stances. The rich love him because he gives them constant breaks, loopholes, and advantages in his legislative agenda.
The one avenue that might knock him down is his past as a JAG lawyer who justified torture in gizmo. Maybe.
Or they finally realize he's a thin-skinned ego-maniac without any of the charm or gravitas of the last guy. >

I really think DeSantis will start to crumble when any pressure is put on him. He's like Homelander (behind the "scenes") level of incompetent, insecure, and awkward and you can see it come out when anyone puts a little pressure on him, like Gillum did in 2018, which will happen on a national stage. >

Hell, even Crist had DeSantis pinching up his face like a petulant child. 
I really didn't think Florida would do that again, especially after he barked at those kids. 
Then I remembered Florida is Freest, kids are property and everyone moved down here to live out their regressive fantasies. 
But OK. Do that. Between COVID, Federal incarnation and leaving purple areas for bright red leaves more places blue. I just hope it happens before we lose more manatees. >

The fuck is wrong with people? Oh you're doing bad in school, here's a kid, maybe it will get worse.

“Addressing her ‘overall intelligence’ … the court found her intelligence to be less than average because ‘[w]hile she claimed that her grades were ‘Bs’ during her testimony, her GPA is currently 2.0. Clearly, a ‘B’ average would not equate to a 2.0 GPA,’” he said in his ruling. >

This is borderline eugenics. Not in the way you’d expect, but definitely in a way that makes sense when you consider it’s Florida. >

Nothing improves your grades like a newborn baby >

Why would a girl be focused on grades when she has a baby and a kitchen to attend to?
-A Republican, almost definitely. >

Yep. It's not genuinely about her school grades; that's simply an estimate for her decision-making capacity, which is the cover story for the basic forced-birther position. They don't actually care about her academic potential. >

Please do not make this man the next president of the US. >

he's only supported in florida. Nobody outside of florida gives a shit about him. not even maga.
