No! Most people in Florida hate the governor! Have you not noticed that when somebody tries to do something against DeSantis he attacks them. The data scientist, Jones, that attempted to tell us the true number of Covid infected people in Florida, the elected attorney general that was fired for stating that he didn’t agree with the governor, many heads of departments have been fired and replaced with sycophants and of course there is a big fight with Walt Disney World. thank goodness we still have some free press that can tell us what’s going on.

Although Governor DeSantis has stepped up his authoritarian stance in recent months, his beliefs and actions are not new. Despite that, DeSantis won reelection in a landslide and a recent state wide poll shows that 59% of registered Florida voters approve of the job he is doing as governor.

No doubt some are standing up to him and paying a price, but a majority of Florida residents are supporting him.

I asked my 81 year old, Floridian Aunt, this question today. She said she voted for him both times without “paying attention” to who he really was and won’t do it again. He is Catholic she said and he seemed young and rational. (Arggg...that’s not a reason to vote for someone).

I told her it’s too late. The damage is done. Once the grand experiment of Authoritarian rule over Florida got out of the bag, it will be years before an overthrow and return to Democracy could happen.

Where are the parents who disagree with Moms for Liberty and this crazed Governor? The time is now to take a stance...not later. I’m dumbfounded that too many of us are sitting by...just watching it unfold.

I agree. De Santis has overreached again and again. He takes away rights of peaceful protest, removes ELECTED officials, ignores election results, like giving voting rights to prisoners who have served their sentences for misdemeanor and violently crimes etc. 😳
