    No. The reason why he doesn't denounce them is because he understands a large portion of his base are white males who believe white men have been gotten the **** end of the stick and that these types like Spencer are some of the few who address their concerns. DeSantis knows denouncing these people will alienate a large portion of his base.

    A lot of the "anti-wokeness" culture is knee deep in white male victimhood. "wokeness" is a disease meant to suppress the white male. This is a common belief amongst DeSantis supporters.

    People need to remember that the vast majority of Nazi white nationalist literature and rhetoric isn't about being superior but more about being victims of leftist and Jewish(cultural Bolshevikism )ideology.

    And the way I see it is the reason he doesn't denounce the is he wants their votes and agrees with their agenda. That's also what is Governing record looks like to me from the outside which reenforces that belief.

    I think that at the minimum that makes he a white supremist / Neo-nazi sympathizer which is just a spineless way of being a bigot without having the nuts to stand up for your (morally wrong) convictions.

    It's weird how someone who has spent the last few years repeating and endirsing white nationalist and homophobe talking points like building a wall, passing the "don't say gay" act, banning books and passing Chinese Immigrant exclusion acts - and then has spent the last few months promising to be even more of an extremists on this issue than Trump - gets this kind of reception.

    This is all framing.
    • the law never says "don't say gay", yet, leftists frame it that way
    • the banned books are often ideological indoctrination
    • the CCP deserves to be fought (of course not from a leftist perspective)
    "White nationalist" or "homophobic" is leftist framing with regard to DeSantis as well.

    We've seen the censorship as a result of the bill.

    Sure the law don't say gay explicity but what is it actual purpose?
    Public school teachers in Florida are banned from holding classroom instruction about sexual orientation or gender identity
    Aka
    They literally are banned from talking about sexual orientation (gay, lesebian, etc)


    Books are just books, u can choose to read it or u don't. Banning it bc u fear that it is often used tools to indoctrinate idea makes no sense.

    Hiding facts, disparaging student opinions, or rejecting any ideas that contradict the teacher's beliefs are examples of indoctrination.
    Indoctrination is a means of forcing, brainwashing, or imposing desired ideologies without open discussion.


    CCP deserves to b fought. No sht Sherlock.
    But this is different the bill restricts ownership of real estate by Chinese buyers and individuals from the other countries of interest within 10 miles of a military installation or critical infrastructure, with some exceptions.
    That's full on racist/discrimination.

    Ah u are an immigrants from China? No u can't buy land within 10 miles of a military installation or critical infrastructure.

    Keep positively spinning sht laws

    Nazis gonna Nazi

    and his supports are going to not see.

    (or they just don’t care that they’re on the same side as the neo-Nazis because they hold many of the same view which is why DeSantis won’t denounce their support)

    DeSantis Florida: Anti Disney (or more accurately, Anti expression-by-a-private-company) is more important than Anti Nazi

    @AroundTheWorld this is why Ron DeSantis is nothing but a corporate sack of ****. It's so easy to run around and yell culture war bullshit while doing the bidding of corporate America and lobbyists. That doesn't take any courage to capitulate to corporate America while ****ing over workers.

    Regan bush trump DeSantis their all the same. Scumbags. Stand for workers not corporations

    This is a safe space to post your fascinations with homosexuals and transsexuals….

    …. Your family can be kept in the dark while you keep yourself in the closet

    Yes, it's so interesting from a psychological perspective that often, those who think they are morally superior display the most hate and intolerance of anyone.

    And saying "only a dead ... is a good ..." is something only the most hateful people in the world had as their mindset.

    Again, it is sad that you appear to think being homosexual or transsexual is something to insult people about.

    It's revealing, funny and sad at the time that this is your mindset, all while you think of yourself as more virtuous.

    There is nothing wrong with being homosexual or transsexual or any other minority. People should be able to live their lives freely and without discrimination.

    What's wrong is expecting everyone else to bow to every demand because of a certain identity status someone chose or was born into.

    Everyone should treat everyone with respect - but forcing an ideology down everyone else's throat and sexualizing children is not treating people with respect.

    There are a lot of Neo Nazi adjacent posters…. Is it really that hard to connect the dots?

    Because conservative culture war stuff has a proven track record of genocide and overall human misery.

    You are what you argue….. Why are so many of your D&D posts about homosexuals and transsexuals?

    I can only assume you are a closeted homosexual or transsexual with your rhetoric and your posting….. which doesn’t bother me.

    …. but I know how your ilk have to hide this sort of behavior. It’s just sad you can’t be yourself!!!

    I agree.

    Many libs and atheists have railed against the Christian Right over their hypocritical superior values. I'm guilty of it as well. It's become reflexive to the point where many didn't understand the original values of humanism, universal love and faith in others they were championing for and opted to throw out everything related to religion altogether.

    In its wake, both the secular left and right (objectivism) have attempted to formulate an alternative moral standard by claiming original humanistic values ala carte.

    They've also chosen the old silencing tactics of the Christian Right (boycotting, social shunning, censorship, expert gaslighting) to the point where they're two sides of the same coin.

    One calls the other evil. The other ignores any inch for reason/discussion. Around and around they go.

    And yes, through SCOTUS redefinition of Title IX, trans/non-binary people can be treated as a de facto protected class with that ruling as a precedent.

    This minor league baseball salary thing is insane. The amount of money saved by the owners is chump change. Is this just a power play type move by the owners?

    This article says that there are 6,000 affiliated minor league baseball players.

    Upping their salary to minimum wage is going from about $10k per year to $32k per year. That's only an extra $1.2M per year for the entire league! That's such a negligible amount for billion dollar franchises that I don't even understand why they're fighting it.
