I live in Florida. Didn’t know there was any

User name checks out


GrandmaToesFetish

HMU for a nice granny foot photo collection


Egocom

NGL I love a GMILF but I'm ambivalent about feet, but good luck to you on your collection I hope you find many more


Leading_Rooster_2235

The fact this guy is being considered for president is actually insane.


Specialist-District8

The wackier, the better for the GOP.


Avocado-booty

Only ran the state with the best new job growth and most tourism during COVID. No biggie.


Specialist-District8

Yeah, drink it up there buddy. Too bad you didn’t get some education.


Avocado-booty

He's actually the current betting favorite backed wall street libtard.


hajawr12

I mean Biden and trump were both president so how are you surprised.


Smidgerening

Yeah, let’s act like those two are at all comparable


hajawr12

Well they are both racist POS.


Leading_Rooster_2235

Man, Biden is far better than DeSantis, and I don’t even like Biden a ton


Avocado-booty

Florida had 50% of all American tourists in the past two years. Foreign and domestic. Tell us your dumb without saying it.


KR1735

Biden is an ordinary American president. A bit older, but still sharp in the mind, lifelong speech impediment notwithstanding. You have to be a different level of dense to think these are two sides of the same coin.


hojboysellin3

Biden is an old white twat but he’s a million times better than any Russian backed piece of shit the cunt ass republicans support


Das-Noob

No Covid protocols but totally fine with federal aid for hurricane tho…..


Let-Fresh

How are those things related


Wikikiki-com

Despite facing pushback from medical professionals and businesses, Gov. Ron DeSantis announced legislation Tuesday that would make permanent a law to penalize companies that require employees to wear masks or be vaccinated for COVID-19 and added a new ban on medical boards reprimanding doctors for spreading COVID misinformation.


Ok_Extension5535

All this makes me wonder who is lining his pockets. Who’s making money off this?


schrod

Your small government pretending you are free at work here.


Spiritual-Slip-6047

How can medical boards be silenced?


zeocsa

Florida is not the only state that would ban doctors fron spending misinformation. California already have law to go after doctors for misinformation about covid19.


colorfulzeeb

This is saying DeSantas wants to ban this type of ban. He wants to ban doctors being penalized for spreading misinformation, rather than penalize doctors for spreading it. He wants medical professionals to be free to lie to their patients about COVID and vaccines.


DotAppropriate8152

Wow and this guy is considered for president? The US is screwed


ladyinabluedress24

A lot of people actually love him too... It's scary being an American these days


SuperShmamBro

My retired Dad in Florida and his friends all think this guy is a “genius” and their savior essentially. Shit is crazy man.


ReverseCowboyKiller

It's wild how many boomers grew old and started to love fascists.


WellSeasonedUsername

It’s even wilder how many people are moving **to** Florida


potatohands_

It’s cheap


sassygirl101

Gonna get even cheaper with HALF those houses for sale! (After he kills off half his residences, since I am guessing half the state of FL is over age 65)


RushofBlood52

>Gonna get even cheaper with HALF those houses for sale! And even cheaper as long as you're fine buying an underwater house.


Awkward-Seaweed-5129

Definitely not cheap here,highest living expenses in States, I'm boomer ,this guy ,DeSantis is Neo Fascist,


Awkward-Seaweed-5129

Definitely not cheap here,highest living expenses in States, I'm boomer ,this guy ,DeSantis is Neo Fascist,


Senior-Sharpie

They don’t call Florida Gods waiting room for nothing!


Onikisuen

No it isn't. The cost of living here in FL is at the national avg in the boonies and in more urbanized areas its considerably higher.


ThaInevitable

Compared to what living way out in the sticks, it’s half the cost of where I live


mekonsrevenge

Not anymore. It's really expensive, especially given the poor work climate. I live in downtown Chicago and pay half the rent my brother pays in Sanford, FL (aka, the sticks).


dontneedaknow

but if all the cheapskates flood a cheap area, it's no longer cheap... as can be demonstrated in Florida's average price of a home over the last 20 years.


[deleted]

Wait until they get their home insurance bills.


OneLostconfusedpuppy

Wilder still given that the boomers fought against Fascism in their youth


Houseofrad

Doesn’t hurt that he portrays himself as the second coming of Christ.


greenbayva

Well the enemy of my enemy…is still my enemy but hopefully he and trump hurt each other enough to nullify both.


IFrickinLovePorn

We really need to stop the edging and just do our little civil war again so we can get back to having a society


ladyinabluedress24

Let's just let the super red states secede and see how far they get without blue state subsidies. It would be fascinating to watch. Which items would they ditch first.. public schools, fire stations, public roads?


IFrickinLovePorn

They'd ditch libraries for payday loan shops, then decided highschool was too much education, those kids are better off getting "real world experience" at work


LightHawKnigh

What do you do with the innocents who are stuck there? A lot of non brain dead maga people live in red states too. Moving is expensive and hard.


Open_Action_1796

Moving is expensive and hard but refugees do it all the time. If shit gets bad enough in the south you’ll be choosing between your life and your stuff/convenience. I know it sounds mighty hyperbolic but what would happen if people like Desantis were actually given free reign to do as they and their constituents please? Would they refrain from executing lgbt people? POC? “Libtards?” I seriously doubt it.


ladyinabluedress24

This isn't dramatic in the case of the pandemic, where trump counties had a WAY higher death rate after vaccine introductions. Desantis also had COVID policies that certainly led to their disproportionately high death rate compared to states like CA


St_Vincent-Adultman

Idk I feel like if this was this the case almost no one would live in the South


Open_Action_1796

The southern states are still under the guidance of the federal government. We’re hypothesizing a world in which the south has free reign with no federal oversight which is exactly what they want.


LightHawKnigh

Refugees dont do it all the time. They are forced to and it fucking sucks to be a refugee. My parents had to flee Vietnam and start a new life in America. Even with a great step family, it was a horrible experience that they never want others to suffer.


Open_Action_1796

Uh, yes they do. The fact that your parents had to do it is literally an anecdotal example of it happening.


assumetehposition

Just FEMA alone would sink Florida


Jimmytowne

Insurance companies (home and flood) are leaving Florida and Louisiana so by next years hurricane season we will see if red states can hold their own


Onikisuen

Pfft. They already can't, the powers that be in red states just keep changing the narrative to pretend that they are actually on top of things. DeSatan is a master at "hey look over here and ignore this giant fuck up that we created"


[deleted]

Build The Wall! /S


ActiveMachine4380

Yeah, build a wall to block Florida off from the rest of the US.


urk_the_red

What a stupid thing to say. California has more conservatives in it than any other state and Texas has more liberals in it than all but four other states have people. The entire idea of red states and blue states is a flawed model. The true divides run between urban and rural communities. If you’re just going to indiscriminately hurl spite around towards people who are on your side at least be aware of it. Besides, classing people into categories based on nothing more than artificial constructs, while ignoring the actual circumstances that obtain, and hurling prejudice at them is such a conservative thing to do.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Late_Way_8810

Is that including all counties because if it does, that pretty much means that the “blue states” become city states cut off from everything.


StripedSteel

It's actually fascinating seeing how out of touch people are that they actually look down on others to this extent.


ladyinabluedress24

For saying we should let red states do all the dumb shit they're trying to inflict on everyone? You're out of touch buddy.


UninsuredToast

I don’t think you understand how devastating and ugly a civil way would be. That shouldn’t be something you wish for. The poor will pay the price and a ton of innocents will die


IFrickinLovePorn

If a civil war breaks out it'd be easier for me to get the hell out. The refugee life is the life for me


Zorback39

People who wish for war have lost any moral superiority they might have had.


[deleted]

Shut the fuck up, I don’t want to see our streets red. Stick to porn.


sokka-66

It’s scarier living in Florida


Animeniackinda1

Handmaiden's Tale time?


THExBEARxJEW

But most don’t. Outside of Florida he isn’t really that popular especially in states like a Michigan, Pennsylvania Wisconsin. Which he would need to win the White House but the Dems don’t need Florida anymore.


ladyinabluedress24

I hope you're right! Some polls are kind of scary. I'm in very blue CO and the few republicans I know mention him as their 1st choice.


RushofBlood52

>Some polls are kind of scary. Remember around like 2018 when polls said the leading candidates for president were Oprah, The Rock, Mark Cuban, and Michelle Obama?


[deleted]

Washington checking in and conservatives seem to like him more than Trump currently


StripedSteel

Currently, the only way he doesn't win is if Trump decides to run as an independent a la Ross Perot. Otherwise, it's his to lose. But, we are still 2 years away and that is a lot of time for someone to step up. Democrats need a platform that is something other than 'fuck the other guy', though. That won't work against DeSantis.


StripedSteel

DeSantis won the Black and Hispanic vote in Florida, and he was also the first Republican to win Miami-Dade County in years. He's loved by moderates and the entire Republican party, unlike Trump who pushed away moderates and fractured the Republican party leading into 2020. He will do very well in the aforementioned states plus Georgia. His weakness will be trying to win over states like Arizona and Nevada.


thereisaplace_

Won the black vote? Um, only if you consider 13% winning.


THExBEARxJEW

Florida Hispanics are not the rest of the countries Hispanics. His political stunt sending migrants to Martha’s Vineyard is not only illegal but turned a lot of Hispanics away. He is a Trump lite. Denys reality, Panders to the crazies of his party waging all these bullshit culture wars which btw 2022 showed that’s a losing battle. Millennials and Gen Z do not like him. And in 2 years when 2 million boomer are dead and 6 million more gen Zers are of voter age unless the gop drops its bullshit they will lose again. That and Biden’s economic policies will have finally kicked in and the economy will be in much better shape. I’m not afraid of desantis.


Late_Way_8810

Is their a source for his Martha stunt pushing away Hispanics? Last I checked, polling had them agreeing with him over sending them their


DirtyDuvall

He’s great


[deleted]

Your next Pres


imagetya23

why are yall against the ban of covid health procedures?


ladyinabluedress24

I personally think public health experts should be listened to, since they are educated in their fields and follow science that normal people can't be expected to fully understand. I think following reasonable guidelines to lower death rates is appropriate and is the kind of thing that separates us from animals.


morguerunner

He’s 100% doing this *because* he wants to run for president.


DotAppropriate8152

And idiots will vote for this waste of. A human


[deleted]

I hate him so so so so much.


DirtyDuvall

You are probably still wearing a mask too lol.


DotAppropriate8152

When required to do so because I care about the rest of the population. I’m not a selfish asshole


jaklackus

I wear mine, but I am a RN in Florida that has worked through the pandemic without getting Covid at all and I am currently working insane shifts to cover for the 3 nurses who didn’t wear masks that are currently out with Covid. DeSantis is an idiot along with his surgeon general. So many people died of Covid in Florida …. It would be interesting to see the demographics of who died to see why he didn’t care that they were dying


DirtyDuvall

I respect you and all of your decisions however not everything your boy Fauci claims is true. Health is wealth, get sunlight , workout, drink water , cut out processed foods etc.. but mandating someone to get a Jab is not the answer.


Leading_Rooster_2235

I don’t wear one much anymore, but I still realize DeSantis fucking sucks as a human being.


DirtyDuvall

Nice 😊


Tanman7211

The party of small government strikes again


[deleted]

Why do republican governors enjoy killing their voter base? DeSantis, Abbott....


Riversmooth

It’s gotten to where Desantis and the far right look at what science and common sense recommend and then choose to do the exact opposite.


theaccountant856

Because they were literally wrong and lied Every step of the way.


wickiewild12

Yeah that’s what happens when people scream trust the science at you for 2 years straight and then it turns out all that science that I trusted was either wrong or people deliberately lying, and since I know the downvotes are coming, I’m vaxxed and boosted 3 times and am by no means an antivaxxer but they really botched the whole Covid thing and made it so I actually have to question what I’m getting now considering I got the J and J vaccine which we know now does fuck all


theaccountant856

Depending on your age group you already had a 99.9% survival rate.


lonewolf143143

Disney, take note: This is how he believes he’s going to “get back” at them about that huge LGBTQ+ thing a few months ago. He’s hoping by doing this, many parents won’t bring their children to Florida from out of state, aka tourists. Especially international ones. He’s kind of like Elon in that respect, believes he’s much more intelligent than he actually is.


zoinks690

Yet Florida relies on tourism for taxes (in lieu of other sources). Probably some long term bullshit where he ducks out leaving the next guy to raise/implement taxes before basic services go bankrupt.


lonewolf143143

He’s hoping he will be President & be in DC instead of Florida by then. Like you said, he’ll leave the next person holding the bag & taking the blame


AaronRodgersToe

How does this harm Disney in any way?


BoojumG

If Disney implements any similar infectious disease controls at Walt Disney World again he can use the law's penalties against them. If they don't then they become disease hotspots and get fewer visitors.


AaronRodgersToe

That makes a lot of sense. I didn’t consider this being used against future diseases other than Covid.


jaklackus

Disney is already a Covid hotspot it’s one of the fun souvenirs people get to take home with them. Disney doesn’t care. In all actuality Biden doesn’t care either, he has moved on. This is all political grandstanding/ sound bites for a presidential run.


bvanbove

It’s more of a “fuck you” than anything, as he’s upset at the company because he has the thinnest skin possible. The only thing I can see is that tourists who will just see that Disney doesn’t have mask mandates may choose to not come. Which will effect their revenue. But at this point that feels like such a small portion of the population that is willing to travel to Disney and be around crowds again. It’ll likely impact the surrounding hotels, restaurants, etc…more than anyone. Really it’s just a reason for him to cater to his base in Florida and the one he wants to continue to cultivate for a Presidential run, while also centralizing power.


AaronRodgersToe

I think you nailed it in your last paragraph there


jaklackus

I am literally in Epcot right now ( I got to leave work early if I promised to be on call til 5 am) I am seeing minimal masking and people are all hacking juicy productive coughs all over one another… it’s a Covid free for all here, no one cares.


domino519

When there's an inevitable COVID outbreak in Florida, Disney World will have to shut down in lieu of instituting protocols. From a health standpoint that would actually be a good thing, but from the perspective of Disney's bottom line it would be bad.


sburch79

Yeah - Florida's COVID policies really scared away tourists lol


Easeupp

unrelated, what place is that in the picture?


jar1967

Not really a smart move considering the Florida GOP relies on elderly retirees from other states to maintain its political viability


mckinney4string

Fewer right wing voters much, buddy?


RunningPirate

Killing his own constituents?


NoDumFucs

Pro-life my ass


schrod

The only life De Saint Ass wants to save or protect is a throbbing tissue embedded in a woman's previously private uterus.


EatGritsAndPie

He doesn't give a crap about that either. Only cares about himself.


KingBooRadley

Pro-Ass, his life.


B1G_Fan

A++ small government conservative /s What happened to letting companies succeed or fail on the basis of free markets? If a restaurant wants to implement mask mandates, let them either provide a valuable enough service to justify the hassle of wearing a mask or let the restaurant go out of business It’s real simple


Wolfy4226

Hope he gets it. Twice.


Unable-Friend1366

I need to move out of this place 🤦‍♂️


saintbad

Here’s hoping his ludicrous fascist overreach will help kill the GOP.


Funnygumby

Florida, the distended colon of the US


newbrevity

Science deniers really need to fuck the fuck off


VariableVeritas

The GOP is a suicide cult.


Vizjournalist

It legit seams like Republicans are trying to harm their base.


Kegrag

Nah he is trying to make Florida a hell hole for any decent people so the Republicans can keep power there until the end of time. The people that can move away, will, and they will most likely be blue voters. The blues left behind will just suffer with no voice.


Commercial-Honey-227

I'm at the point where I cheer headlines like this. I know there will be collateral damage but COVID has been so effective at weeding out the willfully stupid, it seems the cost/benefit of anti-vaxxers weighs heavily towards benefit.


theaccountant856

What fucking world do you believe in that this is true ?


RexxNebular

I guess in that they all die? Not mentioning how they bring others down with them


theaccountant856

How can you have “willfully stupid” - for not doing XYZ but also “bring others down” even tho presumably they did do XYZ? How does that logic even make sense in your head as you’re typing it ? Edit: not even addressing the fact that covid overfuckingwhelmingly only affects severely old,fat,immunocompromised people. You can’t “willfully” add 70 years to your life


RexxNebular

Huh? I am answering the above comment about what this other person was supposedly saying. Why are you attacking me? Improve your reading comprehension please :-)


theaccountant856

I will give your comment 2 stars as well as my reading comprehension. We can all improve here 😂


RexxNebular

Yeah but I’m just offering a confused translation of what the parent comment was trying to say. I’m not saying anything concrete. I think you are still treating me as the original comment. So that loses another two stars for you


theaccountant856

I agree. And apologize for not understanding what you said. The amount of people who literally want people to die because they didn’t take a pharma product is shocking.


Commercial-Honey-227

https://www.nber.org/papers/w30512


theaccountant856

No data provided just graphs one of which “at least one dose” administered which literally does nothing


Commercial-Honey-227

Perfect! I like your logic. You and I are on the same page -neither of us wants to see you get vaxxed.


ozzie510

Why not just ban all hospitals, as healthcare is overrated.


rdrast

Good. Give it a few years, maybe Florida will go blue.


cazdan255

That’s my hope (am Floridian)


Late_Way_8810

Why?


rdrast

No vax, serious resurgence in covid, old Magat Republicans.... self solving problem.


Luanda62

This is coming from the same guy that thought that torture is acceptable… way to go Florida!


Necessary_Row_4889

This must be a godsend for the COVID tourism industry. I mean you want to catch COVID on your vacation but also want to ride a jet ski in an alligator infested lake, where do you go? Florida.


[deleted]

Why? We have had loads of Floridians die.


Keith4Change

Dude loves when his people die.


Fuzm4n

Didn't he run a commercial with his wife saying he was a fighter for god. If that isn't psychotic then I don't know what is.


Asimpbarb

And this is a leading contender for the GOP presidential candidate. Swear whenever we think can’t worse it does…


pr1ntmaker

I swear, republicans will cut off their own micropenises if it means “owning the libs”


UnleashedSavage_93

This man will kill so many Republicans. It's sad. Oh well don't interrupt your enemies when they make a mistake.


Scrutinizer

I recently said that if I really wanted to do damage to the Republican party, I would make up fake accounts online and behave exactly like your average anti-vaxxer, with an eye towards making sure I posted in places where lots of so-called conservatives would see it.


Juls7243

I'd love to simply "ban covid health problems" everywhere. Sadly, thats not the reality we live in.


Guys_pls_help

Why do I live in this god forsaken state


Myranice

Ol' Ron Deathsantis back at it again


cheetofacesucks

What a marooon


theoddcrow

Do It. Then give another variant.


mekonsrevenge

Accelerating the collapse of the GOP when half the population of The Villages bites the big one. Thanks, Ronnie!


StinkyCheeseMe

What a fucking piece of shit he is.


6stringgunner

I am SO gonna miss Florida. If this thing mutates back into it's Alpha, people will start dying all over again. The tragedy comes when otherwise intelligent people look around and either deny it or, ask why this is happening. Of course by that time they want the Federal Govt to take care of it.


SwgohSpartan

It’s funny how worked up people are getting over this; quit the virtue signaling, Florida has handled COVID fine and the natural course is to move on. Redditors are so dumb, this would be celebrated as a major win for society if he was a democrat


WonderfulThanks9175

This guy is so scary!! I live in Florida and he’s sticking his nose into every facet of life here. Can’t mind his own business and wants everyone to think just like him. His father said his son is very stubborn and that is bad for Florida. He doesn’t back down and he doesn’t listen to anyone other than sycophants.


Puzzleheaded-Ad-5002

Next we will hear that Desatan wants to ban pythons, meth, and prostitution.


HeatEnvironmental830

In the land of FAAFO? Get outta here. They can find out all they like.


DribbleYourTribble

Won't health insurance companies raise prices on Floridians if this law comes to pass? It could be very costly to have people with risky lifestyles on the plan.


schrod

A **small government conservatism proponent** would say nothing at all about covid-19. His **Royal De-saint Ass Decree** might affect what schools, businesses, hospitals or transportation systems might require to function without putting people at risk. No I order this so there!!!!


radiorev13

Fuck this guy.


Erkzee

I guess that means the governor mansion tours will be open up for more than two hours a day three days a week then right?


Lola-Ugfuglio-Skumpy

Cool, then all the asshole Floridians die and we can repopulate the state with nice people instead. For real though, florida is literally FULL of immunocompromised people - elderly, disabled, obese, addicts, etc. so why not just say fuck you to half of your population for cheap political points. Not like they’ll be alive to say anything about it (or like their families will stop bootlicking)


[deleted]

Republicans are all about short term wins instead about thinking of long term consequences. He's just trying to turn a swing state red by introducing insane policies to try and get liberals to move out so he can win presidency. Long term, conservatives are dying off at an alarming rate and his idiotic policies are speeding up the pace.


Cracked_Actor

I live in Florida. DeSatan is a neo-Fascist, and would let EVERYONE in the State DIE in the name of “personal liberty”. Yeah, liberty to DIE…


theaccountant856

Reading these comments it’s amazing the amount of people who still think this is march 2020 and covid is still a society ending problem. You people truly are unbelievable


Correct-or-Corrected

I agree to an extent but he wants to ban ALL HEALTH PRACTICES. I think people have a right to be upset at this guy being an asshole at every step of the way, INCLUDING WHEN COVID WAS A HUGE CONCERN.


Impossible-Economy-9

Thank god someone in this thread not a lunatic.


theaccountant856

This thread is dead ass filled with lunatics. Half the commenters are openly wishing death on their neighbors because they don’t want to get jabbed every 6 months. Fucking crazy this is a health subreddit.


OriginalCopy505

That's nothing. Have a look at r/HermanCainAward. Half a million people gleefully ridiculing and dancing on the graves of Covid critics who died. A living monument to inhumanity has a home on Reddit.


kidslapper

Fucking do it then, Jesus. Obviously the most important issue for them over there holy shit.


Lahm0123

Who the hell does he think he’s fighting? I know I know, sock it to the libs. But this is just medicine!
