Btw, I attended a university that required approval for all protests. And they didn't approve protests. And punishments were very possible for anyone participating in a non-approved protest. There was absolutely no free speech at this university. You guys would love it.
Oh really? Tell us the name of the university.

IIRC, some areas require a permit/reservation while other places do not, and other locations it is prohibited.Kenneth_2003 said:Thunderstruck xx said:shiftyandquick said:

A&M has designated "free speech" areas and I'm pretty sure you have to reserve them. You can't just show up.
Probably BYU.Thunderstruck xx said:shiftyandquick said:

I really like DeSantis, but ultimately, I don't need to like him. I just have to like his policies and ideas, which I do - in spades.Rongagin71 said:I disagree to some extent.shiftyandquick said:
DeSantis is good at rolling out red meat that plays to the base. He's less good at being a relatable human being that people like. And that's why he gone.
His voice is a little harsh, but his competence shines through
his mannerisms and quick response to questions.
The idea that he is "not likable" was funded and pushed
both by Dems and by the Trump Campaign.
I hope to God Trump wins and DeSantis follows or another true Conservative.Ag87H2O said:
DeSantis is absolutely brilliant at identifying problems, analyzing options, developing policy, and implementing with a vengeance. His reputation for no bulls*** and delivering on his promises is impeccable.
If a blue state Governor delivered that proclamation, most of the useful idiots and paid subversives would laugh and keep protesting. In Florida, they whine and move on because they know DeSantis doesn't bluff, and if they don't stop they'll be out of school and staring at the bars in a jail cell in short order.

Let me introduce them to the St. Mary's school nuns in Taylor, TX in the 1970's. I am so very thankful for having discipline instilled in me at a very young age.

The list of allowable activities in the OP is free speech. Everything else is used to disrupt the lives of other people.
Saying what you want to say about a subject is not a problem. No conservatives on this board have an issue with people sharing their opinions.
When your activities prevent other humans from going about their business freely both physically and without feeling threatened. You have now moved away from free speech and entered harassment. There are no protections for that.
It is really not hard to comprehend.

A whopping 20 comments on that post. The first commenter I looked at was a "earth citizen" and a self proclaimed "tree hugger"

Decades old statutes that were used to crack down on criminality and violence perpetrated by the KKK.

DeSantis is good at rolling out red meat that plays to the base. He's less good at being a relatable human being that people like. And that's why he gone.
The story that he's not relatable is just horse crap.
He lost because :
a) Trump sucks all the air out of the room (for good or bad)
b) MAGA supporters were 100% in on Trump and Trump only
c) The media amplified both a) and b)
I didn't take a dump on Trump.91AggieLawyer said:Ag with kids said:He's been elected as Governor of the 3rd largest state twice and as well as being elected to the HoR 3 times...shiftyandquick said:

He lost in large part because he ran a crappy campaign. I hope he has the character to take responsibility for his own failures and not pass them off to others even if his supporters don't.
Every DeSantis campaign apologist on here (and I truly do like the guy) doesn't realize that every time they take a dump on Trump, they're essentially burying their own guy. If Trump can't win (or is a _____), and DeSantis can't beat Trump, how is that anything but a negative for DeSantis?

I detailed the reasons that DeSantis lost. And it wasn't a "crappy campaign". DeSantis ran against the de facto "incumbent". Like Reagan did in 1976.
But, apparently, any criticism of Trump is taken as an attack on him which cannot be accepted...
