There are lots of Florida goons. It�s one of the most hoppin threads in LAN.

The people who wrote the education standards for the new african american studies (who are not educators or historians or anyone who should be writing such a topic) cited 16 or so �slaves� who learned skills as a slave that later gained them notoriety. Half were never slaves, one was George Washington�s sister, and the none gained notoriety in a field from skills learned as a slave.

He's got two years, a friendly legislature and a friendly court to change that.

eta: My presumption is that he's working levers in the background that will allow him to maintain political relevance for decades to come*. He's spun up, I think, two new private police forces that are accountable to only him, he's gifted the current judicial with longer careers via pushing up the mandatory retirement age for judges and justices, and has show a willingness to apply the state's violence on monopoly to get his way outside institutional government. It's naive to think he's not going to attempt to hold onto power in Florida for as long as he can, legally or otherwise.

*this presumes the US Empire as it exists today has decades left on the clock

The friendly legislature can�t change the constitution which is where his term limits are.

L. Ron DeSantis posted:

Is Miami-Dade really that progressive anymore? DeSantis won it last year, and it seems like a lot of the Latino population there is pretty conservative, at least with regards to anything the right paints as socialism. (Though it is funny how many people love Obamacare now.) This is largely based on news reports as I've never lived in that area.

The last election is not really indicative. A fuckton of democratic voters just didn't vote because the top of the ticket was a republican and a cop against a republican and rubio. No one outside of top party brass wanted Crist or Demmings.

I�m still blown away that Florida schools won�t allow college psychology and African American studies but will flat out use lies from Dennis Prager.
