I am very honestly surprised. I would have thought he would have touted this as saving children from the woke mind virus or whatever.

He just saw the writing on the wall. Supreme courts all over the states were slapping similar laws down left and right last week.

[–] gregorum@lemm.ee 16 points 8 months ago

Exactly. He hasn’t exactly been a supporter of it, and he knows it’s a certain loser, legally. He often touts phrases like “parents’ choice”, and this bill would also go against that. People forget that just because Desantis may be a shitstain doesn’t mean he always toes the GOP line.

Says that they are about to pass a new measure that targets sexual content and addictive features so I guess "don't say gay" but on the internet

Florida with its Republican supermajority is about to join the gotta provide your ID to do anything Republicans publicly feign indignation over and privately enjoy themselves. So much for less government interference. Hypocrites.

$10 says this was staged due to how incredibly desperate DeSantis is for a win, especially with the generation that will soon be voting him out of politics in his upcoming failed bid at the US Senate.

Everything about DeSantis is stage-managed political theater.

[–] Alto@kbin.social 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

DeSantis can't serve as the next governor due to Florida's consecutive term limits anyway

[–] Jaysyn@kbin.social 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I said US Senate for that very reason.

[–] Alto@kbin.social 2 points 8 months ago

Doh. Don't mind me, my brain just somehow completely failed to register that part.

Social media is doing an absolutely amazing job polarizing people. Why the fuck would anyone block it if it helped their position?

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 13 points 8 months ago (2 children)

That Pic. That's what he thinks a human smile is supposed to look like.

[–] Itsamelemmy@lemmy.zip 5 points 8 months ago (2 children)

I'm watching resident alien right now and it's the same smile as the alien pretending to be human.

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Alan Tudyk absolutely kills it on that show!

[–] blazeknave@lemmy.world 0 points 8 months ago

Omfg same first thought

[–] _dev_null@lemmy.zxcvn.xyz 1 points 8 months ago

That's how you know it's a conspiracy that DeFuckstain was just protecting Meta... it's the same code that Zuck uses to smile.

[–] EndlessApollo@lemmy.world 0 points 8 months ago

That's the "think of the children" party for you (:
