  yup
context: why does a governor have the power to issue and revoke liquor licenses? >
  
  It’s the power of small government. >
  
  So small it can into all the nooks and crannies of your life. Duh.
  /s >
  
  Into the nooks and crannies of your daughter’s menstrual cycle. >
  
  I truly cannot believe that this guy could be so sick and vulgar as to even entertain this disgusting proposal! >
  
  Really?? Haven't you been paying attention?? >
  
  gestures at the whole of American partiarchal history >
  
  This guy should scare the hell out of everyone.
  Thinking he is considered as an alternative for president is the scariest ever I felt about a presidential election.
  He is dangerously unhinged and hateful. >
  
  And some Republicans will try to tell you that they eventually had enough of Trump's antics, so they need to support someone like Ron DeSantis instead.  Nope, buddy, you're still a fascist.  Fuck off! >
  
  That’s like saying you’re tired of Mussolini, so you backed Hitler. >
  
  Anton Drexler instead of Mussolini.
  He's the one who founded the anti-semitic organization that eventually became the Nazi Party. Hitler was a charismatic recruit who started the big recruitment push. >
  
  So he was like Ronald Reagan for Barry Goldwater? >
  
  That's a really good comparison. >
  
  Why the fuck does the governor have any say over an individual liquor license? Does he also write parking tickets? He’s an embarrassment to every single thing the US stands for. Fuck you, Ronald. >
  
  We need to get rid of all the Onalds >
  
  Surely you don’t include friendly old man O’hnonalds of Killarney? >
  
  Only the Onalds spelled Onald >
  
  Seriously asking, has anyone heard a libertarian complaining about Ron DeSantis’ political overreach?  The guy is a straight up authoritarian but the small government libertarians haven’t uttered a peep.
  This is why their party is considered a clown show. >
  
  Libertarians are just republicans who don’t want the label >
  
  Libertarians are Republicans who realize that most women stop talking to them if they say they are Republican >
  
  And are yet too stupid to realize nothing gets a woman drier than saying you're a libertarian. >
  
  Plenty fall for it. It's an easy way for conservative men in liberal enclaves to still remain in the functional dating pool. >
  
  Because it sounds better than being a conservative. Shocker that men are using coercion to get into bed with women /s >
  
  why doesn't he go after parents who take their kids to r rated movies >
  
  or Hooter's >
  
  Or church >
  
  Church leaders groom and abuse children more than drag queens (which is none, ever.) >
  
  The party of small, non-interventionist government, everyone. The aristocrats! (Sorry this was so blue, but they give you no choice.) >
  
  Literally waging war on christmas lol. >
  
  This is the most important thing needed in Florida right now?  
  What's wrong with these people? >
  
  You’d think there were drag shows and trans athletes on every block in America for how much of a energy Republicans put into demonizing them.
  I’d sure love to know what percentage of Americans have encountered either, in person, ever, in their whole lives.
  (I’d love it more if violent fascist bigots weren’t controlling policy, but still curious about the stat). >
  
  I've often heard people say something like, "I don't have any problem with gay people. I just don't want it shoved down my throat all the time." I always think, "Then stop paying attention to conservative media. It's almost the only thing they talk about." >
  
  That’s a really good point! 😆 >
  
  Wait til he starts pulling drivers licenses/ plates for displaying things he doesn't like. 
   I'd already been out of zombie land. >
  
  Sad part is, I'm just waiting until it somehow becomes a requirement to put a dumbass DeSantis sticker on my car in order to prove solidarity against woke culture or some bullshit. Can't wait to fight that one. >
  
  While I do joke about the abysmal critical thinking skills of his main base, I think armbands would be too on the nose for them not to notice.
  Politcal car stickers to 'own/trigger the libs' though? Right up their alley alongside Thin Blue Line Punisher stickers. >
  
  They’ve been panicking about marks on the forehead and hands for decades. Imagine if he started talking about putting trackers into women’s skin on the back of their hands. Watch them suddenly think what they’ve been calling the “mark of the Beast” for at least 20 years is totally fine, guys! >
  
  I am still perplexed as to why we aren't seeing a flurry of lawsuits over all this crap, from banning books in schools and public libraries to banning drag shows that are entertainment.  These are ALL first amendment violations, and people have the constitutional right to freedom of expression.  I mean, at the rate he is going, he will ban people from being able to purchase certain books and wearing certain clothes, etc.  Is he going to mandate everyone has to attend church too?? >
  
  Lawsuits take money, time, and lawyers.  They are expensive and slow, fascists know this so they do what they want and retaliate at everyone along the way.  DeSantis cut off his nose to spite Disney and his base loved him for it, he will do whatever he wants because no one can stop him.
  Outlawing wearing gender-non-conforming clothing is definitely something that we used to do that I'm sure Republicans would love to see come back. >
  
  Where is the ACLU? They are well funded. >
  
  Thank you for reminding me. I give to the ACLU every month. I just texted them to ask them if they are going to go after his fascist policies. We will see. >
  
  Did they sell alcohol to them? Were they unaccompanied? If you dont want to see a Drag show, dont fucking go, dont want an abortion, don't fucking have one. Am tired of these fucks saying they stand for freedom while taking rights away. >
  
  According to the actual complaint, they didn’t even cite an instance of children being present. The concern was that the show was advertised as “all ages welcome”, so a child might have attended. >
  
  He's for "parental rights" except when he disagrees with the parents, of course. >
  
  100% this going to court, 100% we are footing the bill for another stupid fucking culture war!  Fuck this guy! >
  
  To be consistent, all politicians who campaigned with this dude should resign.
  Giuliani in Drag >
  
  And Giuliani’s liquor license should be revoked as well. >
  
  You only need the liquor license to sell liqueur.  Rudy drinks it too fast to have any chance of selling it. >
  
  How does the governor of any State have authority over liquor licenses? Is the Florida Constitution three sentences, written in crayon? This isn’t even possible in my state. >
  
  Fucking fascist. >
  
  This is normal governor work stuff? 🤔 >
  
  It is in Florida if you are trying to excite the rednecks over a presidential bid.  Fascism in 2023, who would have thought?
  Everyone in Florida should be embarrassed by this guy >
  
  Makes sense…but if he wants to get serious about exciting dummies that vote for him, he needs to get himself one of those AR-15 pins STAT. >
  
  The progress the LGBTQ+ community has made is quickly evaporating in these fascist states.  Next year will be the 20 anniversary of the legal recognition of same-sex marriage, when the MA supreme court declared  gay marriage was an equal rights issue, and the MA senate and house fought back an attempt to stop the court action with a constitutional amendment.  I am not saying that life is perfect for members of the queer community here, there will always be a few haters, but think about queer communities that have to face state-sponsored attempts to eridicate them, like in Florida. >
  
  Yeah, agreed, the reds are working hard to suppress pretty much every one’s rights, except those “super oppressed” white males. >
  
  Way to go Florida! Good job electing the next American Hitler. >
  
  He’s off the fucking rails >
  
  It's Florida, there never were rails. >
  
  When are we going to see a drag act named Rhonda Santis? She could wear a pretty blue sweater and some bitchin white boots. >
  
  He'll be closing all churches where abuse of minors has happened, right? >
  
  Right after he stops all the Nazi’s and White Supremacists running around his state. >
  
  Ahh the good ole GOP using government to mess with private businesses.. >
  
  Department of Business and Professional Regulation says the venue violated state law by allowing a person to “commit lewd or lascivious exhibition” in the presence of children under the age of 16 
  Pretty sure this could be any Pop concert. >
  
  Or any beach in Florida. >
  
  If this is a signal of how DeSantis would behave as President, then people need to wake up about this guy. Hopefully his appeal goes no further than the nutcakes in Florida. >
  
  He'll probably pivot to the center when he's on the national stage to be more palatable to moderates. And if elected go full speed Orban style fascism. He's not a dumb guy and probably one of the most cunning and opportunistic people in politics. >
  
  Lol. People voted for them because they believe a government shouldn’t interfere in private business or citizens. How’s that freedom going in the red state? Tell us about your teen girls periods, because the government shouldn’t totally know that right? >
  
  ain't this a violation of the First Amendment? >
  
  From all of the headlines this guy makes I can only assume Florida's constitution grants him supreme authority with no checks or balances >
  
  But the constitution overrides the state. But if this were to make it to the US Supreme Court I don't think they would rule against DsSatan based on it's current make up >
  
  The SCOTUS majority has shown that they'll literally just lie in their opinion, even when the dissent (that they have read and are responding to) have photographic evidence to the contrary. They literally don't give a fuck about how stupid or blatantly wrong they sound. They have the power of a state that will gun you down in the street for nothing and then go grab lunch. >
  
  Ron DeSantis thinks that being petty and vindictive will win him points with Republican voters. I wonder why he thinks that. >
  
  So if drag queens show up to football games we have to stop serving alcohol, right?  Time for Drag Race Nascar. >
  
  Pure fascism. >
  
  Why does this man care what is in other peoples’ pants or skirts so much? >
  
  Probably because he doesn’t get to wear the pants at home. >
  
  DeSantis has become a despot because the Florida Democratic party is non existent. >
  
  Considering his opponent in the last election was our former Republican governor, I’d say you’re correct >
  
  Government meddling in a private business, wouldn't you think? >
  
  I just don't understand why they assume every drag show is sexually explicit in nature. If kids were attending sexually explicit drag shows I would understand the outrage but I'm pretty sure this isn't the case. >
  
  Because seeing men dress up like women makes them want to masturbate. >
  
  good point.. >
  
  It’s Cockams Razor. >
  
  Drag shows are legal.  Does Desantis know he lives in a democracy with rules for what he can and can't do?  Some prosecutor and judge combination needs to do him some learning..... >
  
  So there will be a point down the road where things start to fall apart.  Businesses collapse schools collapse and at some point Florida starts crying for help.  Ron is going to push into the stratosphere with suffering.  He has to beat Trump at being horrible.  GOP is all about the suffering now.  Bread and circuses. >
  
  This guy is the worst kind of corrupt fascist.  No wonder Republicans love him. >
  
  As opposed to the best kind of corrupt fascist? >
  
  
  The foundation “promoted the show using Christmas-themed promotional materials that did not provide notice as to the sexually explicit nature of the show’s performances of other content,” the complaint said.
  
  Let me guess, "sexually explicit" is whatever gets the governor aroused. >
  
  I am sure Desantis secretly dresses in drag, and just wants to eliminate all other competition in the state, so he can be the prettiest of them all. >
  
  its too late, we now have facism in the former united states. hes removed elected officials, has his own paramilitary police force and trafficks people from other states all with no consequences.
