I will literally die of shock if a Republican candidate ever presents a detailed plan for how to actually help working people.

If they wanted to help people, they wouldn't be Republicans

“I mean, like for me, most people, they have to juggle all this just to make ends meet. That’s not a good economy for the middle class,” said DeSantis, now a millionaire who lives in state-provided housing and is insulated from economic variables like the property insurance crisis.

Mmm this is good sas

It used to be you could support a family on a single income

...in the 1960s and early 1970s. Thanks to the oil crisis, inflation in the late 1970s (spurred on by the Republican-dominated congress) and then the recession throughout the Reagan years (and the skyrocketing corruption and lobbying) by the mid eighties, a family required two working adults, and young adults couldn't get jobs in their field. By the 1990s, young adults were having to stay at home with parents until they were established.

In the aughts, adults were moving back in with parents or consolidating households.

At this point he's really just reading from the list reasons why no one will vote for him.

Don't forget: the cruelty is the point.

Republicans get a hard-on from evil shit like this because their goal is to be evil.

Lots of people will vote for him. Hopefully lots more will vote against him.

About

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis aspires to be the same kind of Autocrat despised by the founders of the United States. He must be exposed for what he is: a great threat to our Democratic Republic and American values. Republicans don't punish big businesses like the Walt Disney Company for disagreeing with them. Fascists do. DeSantis and those like him are a massive threat to our Democracy.
