    Good. Put out a plain bill that bans something they claim won’t happen, and get them on record.

    DeSantis is going to invariably weigh in on this and make things even worse for himself

      “get them on record” nobody cares about that shit anymore when they have an ‘R’ next to their name. Pointing out the hypocrisy has been a waste of time for a long time. They don’t care.

        correct. getting them on record doesn’t do shit – but making sure they are legally liable if they do try that bullshit might help.

        Even so, there’s a line of racism that is still too far. Musk shows that well. It’s still worth getting them on record for appalling things in case that’s the straw that breaks the camel’s back.

      We have Trump on record admitting that he committed tons of crimes.

      He’s still allowed to lead this country.

        Luckily Desantis is no Trump. I will die before I’m able to wrap my head around what his followers see in him, but for whatever reason he pretty much really can do whatever he wants with zero repercussions. Desantis just doesn’t have that.

        Again, I will never understand it.
