This opinion reached some popularity on r/Conservatives. Its popularity may be that the forum leans more MAGA than most people on the right.

"I live in Florida. I'm a lifelong Independent and my husband had never voted anything but Republican until the last few years.

He voted for DeSantis the first time, but not the second. I am not a bot. I am a Florida citizen who finds DeSantis more dangerous than Trump. He completely owns Florida. Laws get passed in middle of the night. He retaliates against those who speak against him. He's banned certain majors at Florida Universities. He passed a law so that Floridians can no longer see who is funding his travel (we are) on his "book tour" that is a Presidential campaign on the Florida taxpayer dime.

I long for a day of actual small government conservative candidates. I most closely identify as Libertarian.

You think these guys are great for circumventing ethics in the name of the cause because they aren't targeting you. Even Rubio knows DeSantis retaliation against business is bad. And it's not just Disney. I live an hour 15 outside Disney and I hate it (I hate themes in general - Las Vegas is another example) so I'm no Disney apologist.

So I am not a bot. I guess no one calls themselves a shill so saying I'm not one is useless. I'm a Floridian Independent who has never felt less free than I do under Ron's governorship. And more people agree than you might think. His opponent was a former Republican governor. His landslide was more about lack of opposition."

"I am not a bot. I am a Florida citizen who finds DeSantis more dangerous than Trump. He completely owns Florida"

Ah yes the typical "I've always voted GOP, but NOT NOW! Too Dangerous!"

Sounds like another fake concerned moderate that is truly a leftist.

These stories always start with "I've voted Republican my whole life...but here's why I don't support X."

Moderate concern noted.

He later told all of this to his 3 year old son...and then they cried together.

would have been more believable if he ended with "l know , cool story brah"

Oh, no! Concerned moderates don't like Desantis.

Guess we just need four more years of marxism then. What can you do?

"Dear Facebook..."

Boyd Crowder, is that you?

I would love to feel "less free" under his leadership, as opposed to what we have now.

Stopped reading at Desantis is more dangerous than Trump.

Sub par troll. B-

Ron DeSantis* (R)
4,613,783
59.4%

Charlie Crist (D)
3,105,469
40.0%

Pretty sure that is a bot.

As someone who has lived in Florida for almost 15 years now, DeSantis is AWESOME. I selfishly don't want him to run because I don't want to lose him as governor. But, the left absolutely HATES him. As much as Trump. And just like with Trump they both make up and believe whatever lies and talking points are peddled to them.

And the person that was quoted off of Reddit is just another "keyboard warrior, concerned moderate."

The 2024 election cycle is gonna be wild.

• "I live in Florida. I'm a lifelong Independent and my husband had never voted anything but Republican until the last few years.

Starting off an argument that is in no way provable is disingenuous.

Reads like ChatGPT wrote it

The "majors" than have been "banned" by Desantis:

Quote:

---

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday signed a bill that would prohibit public colleges in the state from offering degrees in critical race theory or majors, minors, and programs that promote diversity, equity, and inclusion, Axios reported.

---

MSM had the rest of the country convinced that living in Florida is like like living in east germany.

So the most free state to be in during covid is now some sort of hell hole.

And the average **** bird laps it up like gravy.

My younger sister moved from N.C. to Florida last year. She hasn't felt this free since she lived in Texas. She is not a bot.

Let me see if I get this straight, this person wants small government and yet feels the ONLY governor of a large state that stayed open through the pandemic despite BIG government wanting to control/shut everything down is a danger to the republic?

Does she also feel the danger of living in a state where crime is at a 40 year low.

Yeah, sounds totally real.

I don't think it is a bot.

A bot would've have been more convincing.

Anonymous "Independent" poster. Ok. The "tell" is talking about banning subjects in school. Uh, no. He made sure the textbooks weren't some fever dream by BLM and the 1609 Project. They teach actual history and not propaganda. The travel thing is more about safety than anything and to prevent the Left and Trump folks from organizing and protesting him like they have done in the past. Disney thing is just lol.

Thing about DeSantis is he isn't a wallflower who is afraid to use his power. He knows the game of the Left is for them to go full bore and push the limits and then watch Republicans be too afraid to retaliate. DeSantis plays offense. He stays within the law but he hits hard and fast and right in the weak spots. It makes some folks squeal. She sounds like a Bill Kristol style "Republican"

The OP has 95 post including this gem from November:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disney's data indicates that being woke has not been a significant factor in their business. The movie cited in the OP has had a disappointing release to be sure (it's five days old), but the box office as whole has been down. Wakanda Forever is also considered woke but has been very popular, making over $200 million so far, and will likely stay #1 at the box office for the next few weeks.


Don't kill the messenger, I'm only pointing out the obvious to those blinded by their own narratives.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyone see a pattern here ?

One of the main reasons we see so many "Florida Man" stories is the stringent open records laws there. Nothing gets hidden from the public.

If DeSantis was really the tyrant they claim, pretty easy to sus that out, if they wanted to.

He's truly concerned. And super seriously independent moderate.

Damn, so DeSantis is more conservative than Trump confirmed. Trumps the RINO.

FIFY

So is Biden and the Dems a better option? They are killing businesses through the EPA…

"I've voted Republican all my life but I cannot bring myself to vote for GWB Trump DeSantis"

You knew it was going to happen once he announced.

Logs on to ChatGPT.

"Write a note by a concerned moderate about DeSantis being dangerous, and how we used to vote Trump but would never do so now. Write in normal dialect, not in the inflection of a bot."

Logs on to Texags.

I can't imagine he is any more dangerous than the Biden administration.

So Concerned

So Moderate
