So now the goalposts are at declaring war on Mexico.
Cool cool.
Its been there awhile with these people…I wish I was kidding but they believe Mexico and other countries that way are so evil this is reasonable. Their stereotypes just seem to get more and more crazy that they believe…
Many conservatives think that Mexico is a problem the same way they think that Native American tribes self governance is a problem. The Mexican history is that of the native Mexicans winning out over the Spanish and forming their country and many conservatives are still pissed about the Alamo because they think we should have kept going south in conquest.
Yea which is why I wish it was easier to take them down when they threaten violence to send us into a war. Since I know I can’t get things done to show I’m not capable myself for that or a lot of things(the audhd panics and meltdowns are oof with his stressed I stay…). Like the fact they won’t believe they’re in the minority sucks 😕
Also it’s fuckin stupid because Mexico is becoming our biggest trading partner. It’s beyond the pale stupidity!
Tell me about it…the right is so xenophobic among other things that they can’t see the bigger picture. They’d rather let these mega corps in our own country rule and ruin things than cooperate with other countries 🙄
I will never understand this shiz
Also, many undocumented immigrants who would normally be involved in post-storm cleanup and rebuilding are avoiding Florida after Hurricane Idalia because of DeSantis’ policies.
DeSantis is a fucking moron.
He’s really not, his base is dumb and he plays to them rather effectively but he’s not dumb just manipulative and without morality.
I disagree, he’s dumb and horrible with anything that has to do with economics too. Fascism is a terrible system.
I subscribe to the dumb-dumbs can vote for dumb-dumbs theory myself.
Politicians play roles, his is to be hateful and just barely effective. In that situation playing dumb is quite effective.
I agree that he manipulates his base.
He’s a fucking idiot, that’s not negotiable. He does too many things that do not serve the manipulation of his base that are too dumb to excuse. The meatball has no brain.
The Disney thing alone was pure ego. He is definitely dumb.

Americans are dumber than I thought.
Our systems are just so unbelievably broken. They gerrymander and destroy other systems to keep themselves in power and its just sick.
We have been far too tolerant of the intolerant for far too long. This is inevitable
Seriously…it’s that whole “they came after this group and you said nothing” bc we ignored the red flags. People ignore the signs until it hits them and its too late despite those like me doing what we can(which isn’t much) to fight it…
They’re dumber because lots of them want Trump, but I wouldn’t say this makes Americans as a whole dumber because very few of them support DeSantis. He’s just throwing random shit out there like this at this point.
Many,not all.
Idk, I wouldn’t call the Russians dumb because they have a fascist leader, it happens to a lot of countries. We were dumb in thinking it couldn’t happen here.
Euphoric Xenophobia moment.
Does anyone know if he’s had like… significant head trauma at any point?
If not, perhaps it’s time to correct that oversight.
Classic lead poisoning
Lots of fingernail damage to his temporal lobe.
How does a state have missiles against foreign country?
I wouldn’t put anything past Florida at this point. Florida man finds ways 😩
The fuck?
Goal post moving for his base. DeSantis “had to” take federal disaster relief money for the damage to his state caused by Hurricane Idiala(?) making him weak in their eyes(or so he believes). So now to appeal to/appease his sycophants he must promise the possibility of pain, poverty and destruction for those less fortunate.
In a world where things actually make sense, this would immediately disqualify this asshat for the presidency.
Of course, in such a world, all the bullshit the Orange Asshole did while campaigning in 2016 would have disqualified him, as well. Fuck our actual shit world, I want the “makes sense” world.
We’re on the verge of seeing a presidential candidate, during a debate, shove his hand down the back of his pants, pull out a handful of crap, and throw it at his opponent on live television…and still manage to win the election somehow.
There’s a greentext going around comparing the Russian invasion of Ukraine to the US invading Mexico and I’m really scared DeSantis is trying to make it come true.
Nearly all of my friends are Mexican citizens that moved to the States for work or folks that have family in Mexico. Why the fuck does DeSantis think like this? Hell even the conservative Latinos in the border states couldn’t support this nonsense right?
Never underestimate the stupidity of a conservative regardless of their heritage.
I’m sorry, why the fuck are these people allowed to be in politics? He’s openly advocating for war with our neighbor, get this fuckwad out of politics. Let him go fight a war first-hand if he’s so eager to get his dumbass killed. I feel like a requirement for getting into politics should be some sort of political “killswitch”, as soon as you start talking crazy like this, you’re out.
Technically we do, it’s called a guillotine.
It’s funky to imagine that a state that was once seen as “purple”, generally, would also elect someone was ragingly insane as DeSandurz.
You can thank gerrymandering and low voter turn out due to gerrymandering for that…
Also, so many old people too along with conservative organizations like Scientology and Disney.
Low voter IQ, I think you mean.
It can be both, and often is
Tbf he’s done a lot to disenfranchise those he doesn’t agree with or make it harder for them to vote. All bc that side can’t believe they’re not popular anymore…
That’s… that’s just great Ron. Hey, ya figure they might shoot back? With their army and navy that they definitely have? Dumb motherfucker.
YOoo I guess we’re so fucked up that border war and colonialism is back on the table
This is the guy who was the JAG at Gitmo during the torture debacle, right? Just checking.
He is the antithesis of ethics.
And this should be the only thing anyone needs to dislike him.
Why does Florida have missiles?
Outside of any in a military base, he doesn’t. It was a question about if he would authorize an aerial attack if he were voted president…
That said… he’s an idiot for even thinking that would be a good idea
But has the US ruled out using missiles on desantis
Seriously though, look at the terror Ukraine has been able to accomplish inside Russia with a hell of a lot less than what Mexico has. You guys want missiles blowing shit up in San Antonio and phoenix?
The cartels have been VERY careful keeping their violence on the Mexican side of the border, and not kidnapping Americans (usually), because there’s no better way to get yourself connected to God’s wifi. A war would basically throw all that out the window. The border towns like San Antonio would erupt with the same sort of cartel violence you see already in Mexico. Families of soldiers in those areas would find themselves turning into targets.
We shouldn’t rule out tossing DeSantis into the sun.
Don’t waste the energy, just hand him over to the cartels.
