So sexism?  How many divorces does Trump have and they love his drama ass?
The First Amendment is being tested there, right now, by banning books and controlling the information taught to children. If they are allowed to win that battle, we have lost much more than just a fight over some books in school.
Fascism begins with the control of information. That's why the First Amendment is first. Because it's the single most important one, the first one that any attempt to impose fascism will need to defeat.  If fascists dismantle the 1A they win, they control the information. If they lose this battle, information about what they're doing will travel freely which is what prevents fascism from taking hold.
This is a First Amendment battle. This is fascism trying to squash free speech. There's a LOT riding on this. >

Then why isn't America taking this much more seriously? I say this as a Canadian watching the lunatic right wing here start adopting republican practices due to their success down south. >

Even those of us paying attention are at a loss for what to do. The same party controls the entire state of Florida. They can reasonably pass whatever laws they please, and there isn’t much anyone can do about it. The only real hope for Florida is that Desantis steps down and runs for president. >

Does anyone in Florida protest in the streets in Florida?
Last election, even the Metro areas voted for DeSantis.
Val Demmings got beat easily for the senate, and Crist won the Democrat primary over Nikki Fried.
I seriously don’t think people give a rip in Florida as a whole anymore.
DeSantis and his LARPing has pacified a population that just a few years ago were protesting gun violence as a result of the Parkland shooting. >

Partially because the Dems picked one of the most milquetoast candidates possible. Seems like they were TRYING to throw the election. At somepoint Dems are going to have to pick someone that is actually exciting. We're seeing that the strategy of "not being the other guy" can only work for so long. >

Yes, Nikki Fried seemed like an energetic candidate, that was firing up women and young people. >

She was also involved with a very public dispute with her partner at a hotel and she is involved with marijuana and to the boomers weed = bad 
Crist won bc he used to be a Republican and they went with him even though he is a conservative democrat now.
