In other words....

~sorry I was so overt in my views. But based upon what I've seen in the current GOP I did not expect that level of backlash.~

The, "who can think of the stupidest Bill to rile up the Base race", is going full tilt here in FL, what with the new rwing dictatorship and all.

Just think what Tiny D's brand of rwing authoritarianism will do for 'Murica!

And don't think WY is going to get away with out woman shaming FL. Gov Ron will fight back.

Of course, Floridians are about 56 for and 39 percent FOR abortion rights here, but the People don't really matter when Base Baiting is so lucrative.

I'm surprised they don't enforce a dress code of sheets and hoods.

Why are republicans so fond of traitors and losers?

The Civil War was about maintaining slavery and expanding it to the western states. The confederacy was about that, maintaining slavery. So any African American who votes for the Republican Party in Florida, is, by definition, voting to disempower him or herself.

The enslavers even tried taking over parts of other countries to perpetuate their slaveocracy. Witness, por ejemplo, James Walker getting blasted in Nicaragua and Henry Crabb's head stuffed into an olla of Sonoran mezcal.
