It seems to me like Florida is a practice state for Republican mass media fakery and gerrymandering. There are too many Democrats in that state for me to explain the votes that Desantis gets, unless of course the media stream is misinformstion central. Its a model for what Republicans would like to bring to the rest of the country. It seemed to me Texas had a good Democrat fighting the governor their and he still lost. I dont see this as not good enough Democrats. Its voter intimidation (see Biden bus attack in Teaxs) and Voter suppression in Florida (see DeSantis willy nilly "voter fraud" arrests and fear mongering. Coming to a nation near you.

I just can't understand how Republicans get away with their bullying, intimidation, fraud, naming things exactly opposite of the intent, constant lying, blaming, working to take away people's rights, and so much more. I honestly don't know how we stop it and keep the disease from spreading to other states. Republicans clearly have the money for the spread, and alas, the common folks who are swamped with work, kids, family responsibilities, and so much more will go with the lies if packaged neatly with just the right amount of their ingredients: fear, hatred of certain folks, blaming, cheating, pretending, conspiracy theorizing, insulting, pseudo-Christianity and picked over scriptures,along with other ingredients as needed. Truth, information, facts, caring, kindness, concern, human rights, don't seem to be strong enough to stand against the Republican brew and they have the money to sell their garbage far more effectively than we the people who actually care do. Because of that, we will all suffer, the rich white ones somewhat later and perhaps less, but the suffering will come to their children and grandchildren too. How is it they don't know it?
