DeSantis says he would eliminate four federal agencies if elected president

Florida’s Republican governor said he would seek to abolish the departments of Education, Commerce and Energy, as well as the IRS.

“If Congress will work with me on doing that, we’ll be able to reduce the size and scope of government,” he added. “If Congress won’t go that far, I’m going to use those agencies to push back against woke ideology and against the leftism that we see creeping into all institutions of American life.”

He’s trying to out Trump Trump. You could say he’s trumping Trump. All in hopes he can steal away enough wacko votes to win.

But he can’t, and he won’t be able to. There is only one Donald Trump and you can’t easily replicate his appeal.

DeSantis is telling everyone that he’s going to destroy the United States, and you’re all just sitting there.

I’m not gonna vote for him. He’s not even a candidate yet. What should I be doing?

Laughing at Desantis’ ignorance or crying because republican voters are just as ignorant and eat that shit up.

Or my favorite… alternating between the two

Training and prepping. Historically, there’s only been one way to stop fascist conservatism, and it’s not something we are allowed to talk openly about until we’re doing it.

Did the 6th of January insurrectionists do the right thing, given they believed they were fighting against an authoritarian government? Or should they have accepted the result of the democratic process even though they disagreed with it?

Oh no. Is this the audience here?

Making sure that all of the subhuman republicans around you are as uncomfortable as humanly possible. They live among us and far too many people tolerate them.

we are not just sitting here, we’re posting it to kbin!

Relax, we’re doing a sit in.

Not much can be done as of yet. The election season will really kick off in January, and short of hiring a hit squad, marching around with signs and getting screamed at/assaulted by rednecks doesn’t really seem too effective. What would you propose?

Do the Florida sewer and septic sucking service workers have a union? Might be able to convince them to use their, ah “waste” from yet another school’s clogged septic tanks to, uh “fertilize” desantis’ yard.

He’s polling worse than fucking RFK jr, he stands no chance. YoUr’Re AlL JuSt SiTtInG tHeRe! We’re more than a year away from the general election, which he will never make it to because there are months of primaries before where Trump will assuredly win.

Most likely, but which of the two will still be ready for it in 2028?

I love comments like this for the blatant lack of self-awareness that you’re doing exactly what everyone else is.

While somehow finding a way to feel like you’re better than.

He’s polling a distant 2nd to trump believe it or not. Twice impeached, twice indicted traitorous trump is polling highest among R in their primary.

Wow. Commerce runs the weather satellites and Energy oversee nukes. Good luck with that.

reminds me of reagan wanting to give DoE the axe until he figured out they have the nukes lol

Rick Perry too. Then Trump made him the secretary of energy, lol.

I wonder if you asked him which departments oversee that if he wouldn’t be able to answer, akin to Rick Perry forgetting what departments he would get rid of…

Not to mention Commerce regulates international trade and enforces sanctions. Most Federal agencies do far more than most people realize.

Ron DeSantis is a fascist.

Fuck this fascist turd.
