  DeSantis wants Floridians to stay “asleep” even if it means forever.
context: Florida is one of them. Childless adults in the Sunshine State can’t get Medicaid unless they fall into a special eligibility category, like having a disability. And even adults with kids have a hard time getting onto the program because the standard income guidelines are so low ― about 30% of the poverty line, which last year worked out to less than $7,000 for a family of three. That’s not enough to cover rent, food and other essentials, let alone buy a health insurance policy.
  
  I knew it was bad but not that bad. Holy fuck. >
  
  Florida is one of 11 states that refuse to expand Medicaid for the working poor (Obamacare).  Yup - all of those people vote against their own self interest.  Fucking morons >
  
  Florida is becoming a Mecca for the right. They think it's the way America should be. >
  
  
  Florida is becoming a Me a for the right.
  
  And yet, we continue to FUND DeSantis’ agenda by vacationing in Florida.  
  Remove a chunk of tourist dollars from their economy, and you hold DeSantis’ feet to the fire.  Nothing else will work. >
  
  florida is in full on fascism.  going on vacation there would be like going to germany in 1935. >
  
  Keep everyone angry, ignorant, poor, and desperate. Sounds like everything is going according to plan. >
  
  That will never work. Keep them happy with bread and circuses. Bread and circuses is a general term, it doesn't mean literal bread or circuses. It means anything that keeps the people happy.
  A lot of times politicians keep the people happy by giving them a racial minority to feel superior to. You can see that in other recently posted stories like Florida book burning / Fahrenheit 451 (targeted books have the subject of diversity and inclusion), or the proposed rule that public universities in FL have to teach a certain Western history class / cannot teach minority history.
