Just in case you thought this was only a Florida problem.

    When did Democrats claim to be anti-regulation and pro-small government? Because that’s what Republicans claim while forever increasing government power.

      Like it or not, Republicans push for less business regulations, they’ve neutered the EPA at least some(as a moderate conservative I’m not necessarily in favor of that one but it’s reality) when given the chance,

      About the only things that democrats can pin this idea on the Republicans about is abortion and immigration.

      The Democrats forced the ACA, which is more regulation and bigger government. Republicans were the ones pushing back on vaccine mandates while Democrats pushed for them.

      So ya, I stand by my statement that the op statement is not some unique thing to the Republicans and I think stating that as if it is and then agreeing with it is an example of basing your opinions on feelings and propaganda, not facts and reality.
