At least he's not slamming or blasting the NHL.  They'd be in so much trouble if he slammed or blasted.
Everyone who opposes me is woke >

His new stump speech:

Ladies and gentlemen, I stand before you today as a proud member of a party that stands for common sense, not woke politics. We understand that being "woke" has become a distraction from the real issues facing our great country. Instead of focusing on woke political correctness and virtue signaling, we are focused on finding solutions to the problems that affect our communities and citizens.
We will not be swayed by the trend of being woke, but instead, we will remain unwavering in our commitment to doing what is right for the people we serve. We will work tirelessly to improve the lives of all citizens, without being hindered by the need to constantly show our wokeness.
Our party is about action, not woke rhetoric. We will demonstrate leadership and show we are not woke. We invite all those who share our belief to join us in our mission to make a real impact in our country. Together, we will put an end to woke politics and focus on what truly matters - the well-being and prosperity of the people of Florida. >

I bet he could've gotten 5 more wokes in that speech. >

It's like he gets paid every time he says a buzzword. LOL >

Omaha, Omaha, Omaha! >

Ron DeSantis is a fucking chode. >

Literally he's like 5'9 and is fat and stubby...Napoleon complex. >

5’9’’ is the average height of American men btw. 
Also Napoleon was 5’6’’. >

He's still a chode who made fun of Fauci's height (just 1-2 inches shorter) so....Not sorry. >

Here's the beginning of our story breaking down DeSantis' recent fight with the NHL ahead of the upcoming All-Star Game in Florida:  
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is squaring off with an unlikely opponent: the NHL.  
In the latest battle of the culture wars, the NHL—where gloves-off fighting still brings just a five-minute penalty, where the player base is 93 percent white, and until the hiring of Mike Grier by the San Jose Sharks earlier this month there had yet to be a Black general manager in the history of the sport—has somehow become the new epitome of woke culture gone awry.  
Over the weekend, the DeSantis administration got the NHL to fold on a local hiring event aimed at diversifying the league’s workforce ahead of its annual All-Star Game. (The All-Star Game and Skills Competition is set for the first weekend of February in Sunrise, Florida—a suburb a little under an hour north of Miami—home to the Florida Panthers.)  
How DeSantis ended up dropping the gloves with America’s fourth most popular sport ahead of an event ostensibly designed to draw tourists to the state and Floridians into the NHL’s front office jobs is the result of a wash, rinse and repeat approach to corporate efforts to brand themselves as inclusive.  
As one GOP strategist put it, DeSantis has found another way to “raise his profile as a fighter as well as raise money.” But as another Republican campaign veteran told The Daily Beast, this isn’t a risk-free strategy for the Florida governor and rumored 2024 contender; it could mark the beginning of a “strategy that works until it doesn’t.”  
“I've been in these rooms where political consultants get together, they try and say, ‘Well, what can we do to appeal to white voters without being just super-blatantly racist?’” said Stuart Stevens, the former George W. Bush, John McCain and Mitt Romney presidential strategist. >

The eternal Republican dance, how do I let the racists know I'm one of them, while maintaining plausible deniability for the people who aren't paying attention. >

That ship has sailed. You’re either go Full Racist or get pegged a RHINO. >

Republican Horror In Name Only? >

Or Really Horrible in Name Only? Sorry, I meant Racist In Name Only. >

If just one major employer (e.g., Disney) or high visibility employer (e.g., an NHL team) made good on moving out of the state, that asshat would stop his 'govern via spite' stunts instantly. >

I think you underestimate how popular attacking corporations is. I'd say corporations are almost as unpopular as government, if not more. People are angry. By tapping into that anti-corporate anger, desantis is likely going to win over at least a few independents, and maybe even some "Democrats," especially because Democrats are now the party defending corrupt corporations. 
Sure, desantis' attacks aren't focused on the things people actually care about, like corporations not paying taxes, but that doesn't matter. His attacks on perceived corporate abuses is going to resonate with people, and Democrats would be smart to try and get ahead of this by reframing the anti-corporate discussion so that it focuses on taxes and corruption. >


especially because Democrats are now the party defending corrupt corporations.

This is an absolutely laughable sentence. Who are the ones clamoring for corps to pay their fair share? Sure as fuck' ain't the Republicans.
