And yet, I bet if she showed sleeping beauty: a story about a prince kissing a woman to wake her up and marry her, it would be fine and totally not pushing a belief on the kids.

Almost. But in this hypothetical scenario you made one mistake. A Disney movie.

Those are illegal in Florida!

Well maybe not now but I'm sure that's coming.

"That can't happen here!" is what leads to exactly that happening here.

"Well, first of all, I’m troubled by how thoughtlessly people throw around that term. At this point, anybody who disagrees with us is a fascist." - Madeleine K. Albright

I think she is referring to you.

Maybe you should have read the entire quote?  :-\

"Well, first of all, I’m troubled by how thoughtlessly people throw around that term. At this point, anybody who disagrees with us is a fascist.

In the book, I try to argue that fascism is not an ideology; it’s a process for taking and holding power. A fascist is somebody who identifies with one group — usually an aggrieved majority — in opposition to a smaller group. It’s about majority rule without any minority rights. Which is why fascists tend to single out the smaller group as being responsible for or the cause of their grievances."


That came from an interview where she was discussing her book warning about America's right wing turning to facisim.

How about another quote where she is asked why she didn't call Trump a facist.

"You’re right, I don’t call him a fascist. He’s certainly anti-democratic, and I say so in the book, but I don’t call him a fascist because he isn’t violent. If he ends up declaring an emergency at the border over immigration, then I might change my position. There’s a long history of fascists using “emergencies” to create fear and conflict, so that’s a potential red line. If Trump does that, then he really is a bully with an army."


If she were alive today, I think she would have pretty harsh words about DeSantis, and those that support and enable him.

"But are we witnessing an anti-democratic spiral? I think so. Some people have said my book is alarmist, and my response is always, “It’s supposed to be.” We ought to be alarmed by what’s happening. Demagogic leaders are taking advantage of all these various factors and using it to divide people further. We should absolutely be alarmed by that."

I think she is referring to you.

It's not exactly that.

I remember this story from around a year ago.  Some red state governors made a big show of welcoming cops who were pushed out of their jobs by wokism.  Florida did this.  I think Texas also.

This goes back to the squishy definition of woke.  In this situation being woke meant not wanting police to murder citizens.

I'm not really talking about the "bribes" I mean that cops who get in trouble in one state often move to another and get hired. I'm pretty sure that happens all over the country.

Oh that.  Yeah, totally.
I remember reading about a rookie cop who was fired for being emotionally unstable.  Got a job in a neighboring police department.  Never got his references called.  Killed an 11 year old for no reason while on duty.

The most under-reported story right now is the fact that the Florida legislature has so far refused to send #SB7050 to DeSantis for signature. This is the voter suppression bill that contains the provisions allowing DeSantis to run for president without resigning from Gov. #FLpol


So, as it currently stands, if he runs for President, he has to resign as governor. 
His campaign slogan is supposedly,  "MAKE AMERICA FLORIDA"  ....   No I kid you not.

Interesting. I'm guessing that it's not a major roadblock. Maybe DeSantis could just refuse to resign and use the chaos to either strong arm the legislature to send the bill or pass the matter to the state supreme court which he's been packing.

I wish the tweets had more information as to why the legislature hasn't sent the bill. Maybe it's something trivial.

I doubt it.  Most likely Trump will be at everyone else's throat and everyone else will just stand there and take it.  A strategy that worked brilliantly in 2016.
