Desantis hates culture.
Republicans hate culture
“When I hear the word culture, I reach for my gun”
Seems that's a slight mangling of the line, but it's a common Nazi trope

Was it Goering?
Edit: it was not, see below.
The first paragraph on the wikipedia page linked says
So no, I don't think so.
Whoa there pal.
What part of driving pickup trucks with giant tires through the mud while drinking cases of ~~bud light ~~ Modelo and wearing jorts and a tank top with a picture of Rambo Trump firing footballs from a grenade launcher isn't culture?
Culture cuts through their slimey veneer
It's not that.
Outraging the left fires his base.
The Left: People who like art
Look at how art fared in Nazi Germany.
I'm pretty sure this is all related to Hitler's failing out of art school.
I mean, you can scratch that up more to the war time economy than anything.
If all your young artistic talent is getting methed up, loaded into APCs, and driven into the thick of Russian winter, they'll have less time to make art at home.
I might argue that the biggest thing we've done for the arts in the United States is to eliminate the draft. Now you can have a professional artistic community AND a professional military. Then they can come together to make the next Top Gun or Transformers or Marvel movie.
He doesn't know what culture is.
Sure he does. It's drinking a warm can of Bud at a Lee Greenwood concert.
It's Bud woke or something? Or did they move on from that already?
They offered an apology for daring to do a small barely publicized promotion with a queer person and then did a partnership with UFC, so they love the all-American company owned by the Belgians again.
HORSES!
The horses woke up now? I'm so out of the loop.
you mean the patriarchy?
Monocultures are as stupid as they are dangerous.
Yeah! Fuck lawns!
Rotation! Revolution!
I mean yeah, just listen to him talk.
Culture hates meatbal ron
