Private capitalists are men, and the party also consists of men (of course that is "men" in the older gender-free sense, but also mostly in the gendered sense as well).

So if he were president he would disband the FDA, CDC, and NIH, and just tell people who want safety information to check with the state of Florida - a state famous for people who make bad decisions?

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is either a sociopath, or he's out out of his goddamn mind. There is literally no other explanation. Wrong, there is, and that is, DeathSantis is a sociopath, AND he's out out of his goddamn mind.

Not only is DEathSANTIS a sociopath he is also a murderer. DEathSANTIS cut mediaid payments to hospitals by $200 MILLION during the pandemic, and refused to accept Federal funding which would have covered up to 3 MILLION underinsured Floridians, because of strings.. You know, strings like making sure brown and Black people get the same coverage as White people.When his wife allegedly had cancer DeathSANTIS latched onto the tit of gov't paid insurance. I'm sure any of the millions of people he considered unworthy of insurance would be grateful for just a fraction of the care his wife got.

Or he’s a grifter who sees that manipulating stupid racists is an easier path to power than engaging with the ethically-minded educated slice of the electorate.

Of course this doesn’t preclude his being a sociopath….

DeSantis is just a guy who has the courage to say what every drunk, bigoted, illiterate weirdo is thinking, but won't say for fear of getting punched in the face.

One step at a time. Gets easier as you move along the twisted and depraved path.

DeSantis has considered requiring parade drills for the Florida National Guard include goose stepping.

It is wilful. Ignorant and wilful. It is one thing to act because you have not been fully appraised of things. Another to embrace ignorance as a means to further your selfish goals.
