It just doesn’t get much worse than this stance. The only way it gets worse is when they start saying they’re re-implementing indentured labour laws
You mean like they'll systematically target black people to send them to prison and then force them to do labor for slave wages?
Yeah, but they won't be so sneaky about it.
Bro, it's been happening for decades already!
Yes. That's what I was referring to. ಠ_ಠ
There is no visible line… why not simply deny slavery and the holocaust as a hoax
As soon as the last person dies that might have personally met a camp survivor they will. They can’t deny the evidence that survivors bring to the table but once people can no longer point at grandma with the number tattooed on her arm, they’ll start playing it down more and more

Every day we stray further from gods light
You sure ‘bout that? I’m pretty sure he didn’t really bat an eye when slavery was in full swing, hell, if i remember right he actually endorsed it, as much as a fictional character can endorse anything.

Ahhh... The old "replace factual history with 'belief-ism'" tactic. What's the saying? "Those who don't read history are doomed to repeat it"
It feels like 1984, unironically.
"Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past."
History doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme a lot.
I can't imagine living with as much insecurity as conservatives face every day
It has to be a nightmare. Maybe that's why they so mad all the time at the sightest breeze of sanity
When the only thing that keeps your marriage together is the church and the only thing that keeps you from liking the same sex is god, you keep on fighting.

Ok, so I know "retarded" is an offensive and outdated term, but I propose we redefine it as "being ignorant, knowing that you are, and stubbornly refusing to make any attempt to fix it".
Used in a sentence: Ron DeSantis is retarded.
Actively working to retard the progress of humanity as a whole, so maybe..retarder?
Oh that's good. He's like a wet blanket for the fire of progress. That's also what I hear his wife says about him in bed. 🔥🔥

Hm if black people benefitted from slavery, why not reintroduce slavery then? And while you are at it, maybe white people want to benefit, too? Maybe DeSantis specifically could also benefit. Let's make him "benefit". /s
Bring back? Slavery isn't gone. It's still allowed in the prison system.

I mean, has anyone really crunched the numbers on if that's possible? If not I say we look into it maybe.
Nature has you covered.
Nature will have Florida covered.
When you realize that Florida man can and does run for office 😵💫
Learn to swim, I'll see you down in ~~Arizona~~ Alabama Bay.

Dear all those people that made this happen.
Fuck you.
After George W. Bush was selected by the Supreme Court
Government bodies selecting election winners is all the rage these days
Don't worry, they're the first state that'll be underwater from climate change and simultaneously one of the biggest deniers of it. No sawing required.

DeSaster once said that being woke means “war on truth” What the fuck do you call this then? Cuz this ain’t it, chief.
The ironic thing is, we have a quasi-official definition of what "woke" means from one of DeSantis' goons:
The governor's general counsel, Ryan Newman, said, in general, it means "the belief there are systemic injustices in American society and the need to address them." He added that DeSantis doesn't believe there are systemic injustices in the country, reports Florida Politics.
I guess if that's the case reps can't complain about "welfare queens" Because systematic injustice isn't real
You sawed off too little keep going with Alabama and Missouri.
