55% increase hospitalization in FL over last 14 days
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.
Edit: /s of course, we'll fight the fascist bastards to protect the non-crazies and kids who live there >

Umm no thanks I live here and so do my loved ones. I hate dipshit and all of the losers moving here for relaxed Covid rules. I didn’t vote for this douche and don’t agree with any of his politics >

Some of you will die, but it’s a risk I’m willing to take. 
-Ron DeSantis >

I want to permanently ban DeSantis from Florida. >

Not with a 19 point landslide you’re not. >

Going out on a limb here but I'm hoping DeSantis' brand of Hungarian-style fascism, big government overreach, bigotry, and right wing Christofascist bullshit isn't going to be popular forever.  One of these days, the luster is going to wear off and folks will want to act like Americans again. >


Going out on a limb here but I'm hoping DeSantis' brand of Hungarian-style fascism,

Is Hungry a thing?  Is it some new utopia for MAGA-folks?
The reason I ask is because I've just been told by my 77 year old parents who live in Florida that they're going to vacation in Hungry in the summer.  It came out of the blue and they'd never expressed interest in Hungry before. >

Yes, Hungary is a thing for the ultra right, and Ron DeSantis is doing to Florida what Viktor Orban is doing to Hungary.  And if he's elected president he'll do the same to America.  CPAC even held one of their meetings in Hungary and had Orban come over to speak in Texas. >

Orbanizing the US is actually the best case scenario. The worst case scenario is putinizing it. >

Oh honey, you underestimate just how bad it could be. >

oh it could be worse, but it wouldn't be at the hands of DeSantis, it would be at the hands of the supreme court. See Moore v Harper where the supreme court is considering straight-up ending democracy in the US, or that court case between California and texas which could result in balkanization if they rule in favor of texas and California decides in response that the supreme court is no longer legitimate. >

#CascadiaForever >

That flag is a catastrophe however >

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 >

No. Just ban hurricanes. Take the liberal NOAA's maps with hurricane arrows pointing at Florida and use a sharpie to draw then going back to sea. Or Cuba or Mexico. Then drop a Nuke on them. Easy. >

Then blame the nuking on the cartels. >


”… Florida is the land of sanity.”

Source? >

looks around
sorry I got nothing >

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. >


Seriously, there are basically are ZERO COVID Health Protocols in Florida and even most states.

But what if there's another wave that's worse than all the previous ones? Florida will quickly become ground zero. >

Florida was pretty much a super spreader state.
I know about 5 families who went to Florida and they all came back to Maryland with covid. >

I can't imagine why anyone would choose to go to Florida. >

People have to do their Disney world in the middle of a pandemic I guess. >

Sounds gross. Even not in a pandemic. If I had to do Disney, I'd go to California, or even better, Tokyo. >

I actually went to Disney about 10 years ago.
It's wasn't all that great of am experience.
I would have been happier going to Bush Gardens or Kings Dominion. >

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. >

Why not outright ban hospitals next? >

It is hospitals already. They require that you wear a mask to walk in but once you are in the wards of the hospital not all staff members wear a mask. Most…but not all. >

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

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

His plan is to get Trump idiots from across the country to move to Florida >

They are. And it probably effected the midterms. >

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 >

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. >

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. >

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. >

"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!" >

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. >

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

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

If it were just them, fine, but they're going to take innocent people with them. >

People can move. There are all kinds of costs to that, but they're not without recourse. >

Unfortunately viruses can move too, lots of tourism in Florida, lots of it from people not partial to wearing masks that live in our states. >

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

Florida should secede along with Texas. Both states are run by idiots. >

Hey, FL has a functional power grid. >

Well, there is that… >

As a person who currently is suffering through a “mild” case I plead that you don’t. >

Honestly it's hilarious. He's legit massively ruined his states economy and they're fudging numbers. The entire event industry has basically pulled out of Florida and Disney's threats to leave are actually becoming real instead of bluster. They've lost hundreds of conferences, events, conventions, etc and more are pulling out every day. I'm two years the state will have basically no event economy at all which the state massively relies on for funding. 
Actual businesses both huge and small are abandoning the state and taking billions of dollars with them because of this covid stuff and the trans/gay rights restrictions. 
State will be a festering, rotting wound on the country in ten years and will probably be seen as unlivable and admitting you live there will be a serious albatross around your neck. >

Is that true about Disney? Wow. >

That’s right. Kill off your voters. Just don’t come crying to us afterwards >

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! >

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 >

Psychopath >

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

Honestly, I don’t know how much longer I can stay in Fl. The level of aggressive ignorance and stupidity is untenable. I was born here. Grew up here. Returned for college after serving in the army, and then came home to be near friends and family… 
I don’t see friends or family nearly enough to make up for the misery of watching my home continue to devolve into a Republican hellscape. >

DeathSentence indeed >

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

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

Yeah they're both just SO fkn clever >

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

Literally trying to kill Americans. If Democrats did the messaging thing, they could use this. >


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. 

If DeSatan becomes president, Ladapo is likely to be Surgeon General. We're in big trouble, because with those two, the CDC will be completely destroyed. >

💯 Ladapo was in that crazyass demon spawn video >

sounds woke as fuck >

... 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. >

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

Who keeps voting for these clowns? >

Pray for the public health workers who have to deal with this moron’s awful decisions. SMH 😔 >

Brought to you by the party of small government. >

DaSatan COVID decisions killed my sister, a Duval county bus driver who died of COVID pneumonia 3 weeks after he pushed schools back open. >

The headline writing has failed to keep up with the general knowledge of the population.  This should read: "Florida governor again ignores basic science to appease idiots" >


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 >

Fuck this guy. >

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 >

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

No covid protocols? Sure. No covid funds/forgiveness, or resources to your state either. Then 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. >

especially if they just use it for political stunts >

The Governor is working hard to achieve the State’s unofficial motto: “Florida: It’s Where People Come To Die”. >

I’ll bet that Disney cannot wait to donate to his next opponent in 2026. >

The party of “small government” and “fReeDumbs” >

I have banned myself from ever going back home to Florida to visit. >

Banning things seems to be the MO for the “freedom of choice” party. >

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??? >

This is a crime against humanity. >

In the increasingly aging population of Flordia? >

That seems ambitious and foreboding. >

He's still going to be moaning for a bailout from the feds next storm season. Remember quiet he got last year during the storms? He was so close to licking Biden's boots. >

The last time this bloated, beady-eyed muppet opened his mouth about Covid it was to announce a grand jury investigation into vaccines just as the state legislature was convening in a special session that gave home owners insurance companies even more power to fuck over Florida homeowners. So what's Ronald trying to distract from this time?
