Florida is governed with scientific ignorance  and religious bigotry and homophobia.
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. >

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. >

I saw a Trump Desantis 2024 flag up here in NJ 🤮 >

Remind them that Trump and DeSantis can't be running mates. >

This is something ISIS would do. >

It's something that Republicans would do, no need to compare them to another group.  Republicans have been antiwoman forever. >

Fa Fa Fa Fa Fa Fa Fascist >

republican far right theocratic brand >

Successfully bought a judge is the alternative title. >

Instead of governing these asshat republicans spend their effort working against portions of their population. >

Small and generally powerless portions of the population. Guess conservatives need punching bags. >

In the grand scheme of politics, WTF do school grades have to do with personal health issues? >

Nothing but fascists are insane. They used to say that people were TOO stupid to have kids and sterilize them at your friendly neighborhood eugenics clinic. But now abortion is bad so we use the exact same logic for the opposite conclusion and never think twice about it. >

How do people even get to be this disgusting? Like was he not held enough as a child or something? >

What an insufferable fuckwad. >

“If you get all As this semester I’ll let you get an abortion”
-Florida >

Just proves he is not capable for higher office >

dirtbags, all of them. >

The amount of people who believe him in Red states and rural areas. It’s sickening and I wish he and Trump would have such a fall of grace they feel it back to Nixon in the 70s. >

Does anyone know what happened to the girl? Was she able to go out of state or was stuck in Florida? >

Overturned on appeal. >

Probably hoping she'll put it up for adoption so they can basically SELL the child... >

Ding ding! Or they'll both be wage slaves cleaning Big Dick's house, since, yanno, no more  to do it. >

Can we just be open about this?Republicans want to rape kids without consequences. Dissolve this grotesque party already. >

Republicans want to enforce a social hierarchy where they can do whatever they want to everyone deemed "lesser" than them without consequences. There's a lot to dissolve them over. >

DeSantis is really pandering to the far-far right. >

He needs to go >

Florida is Gilead. >

-Texas has entered the chat >

Ohio has * status (you gotta be old to know this 🤔) >

Of course he did.  He thinks chaos is best for him.
