I’ve been rapidly accelerating my plans to leave FL and this Nazi f**k behind.  Will be fun seeing him flop miserably in 2024 due to his complete lack of charisma.  Guy has the personality of a fence post.
If you can't hear those warning alarms blaring, you must be deaf. I mean, JFC! >

The conservatives obsession with this is concerning but I don’t know exactly why? The genitalia? Are they that uncomfortable with things that don’t concern or harm them? Wtf is with this party? >

It's just what fascism does. They go after marginalized groups first. >

The operatve word here being "first." Nobody would be safe except the  fascist sympathizers, whatever that identity that group might take. >

Even fascist sympathizers end up eating a boot. It’s the primary failing of populism. You’ve got to always have an enemy and eventually the enemy and your supporters are a Venn diagram with only one circle. >

Night of the Long Knives says hello >

This.  Sometimes the fascists purge their own before they go after others.  IE the republican party fighting amongst itself >

Like Boebert and Midge screaming at each other?
That was fun news, tho. >

Florida is becoming a fascist state and the fact University Presidents are in on it shows education in Florida is becoming a joke. >

You used “becoming” twice and it wasn’t needed >

The saddest part is the university system in Florida is actually really good and affordable. It might not last much longer. >

With all this going on there will be a brain drain with all of the graduates leaving the state to work in non-crazy states (not that there seem to be many remaining). >

Already started with me! Recent UF grad who just got the fuck out of Florida >

First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me

....Yeah somehow I'm reminded of this poem when I read what the repugs are doing. >

But for them, thats not a warning, its a game plan. >

Correct.  First, go after the trans.  Then the gays/lesbians.  Maybe go after people who are child-free since they must be homosexual for not having kids. >

After they force through historically unpopular abortion bans the next item on their agenda will be attempting to ban all contraceptives, as they've already begun taking about. The GOP wants government oversight in every private aspect of your life, from the doctors office to the bedroom. >

And then they'll quote 1984 and say it was about liberals.... >

Actual antifa author too lol
