DeSantis says, "Florida is where "wokeness" goes to die" FINE! Thanks to him thieir economy is plunging into a black hole.

@bijouxbroussard That stunt he pulled on those poor folks seeking asylum in the U.S Sending them via tax dollars to Martha's Vineyard was nothing short of pure sadism. He is the most evil man, worse than Trump ever was.

@Grateful4you It was a page out of the old school segregationists’ book—remember the "reverse freedom" rides ? This is why DeSantis is trying to kill black history, he doesn’t want anyone making the connection. Too late:

@bijouxbroussard Someone on You Tube said I was a moron for my love and support for Joan Baez, Few people realize she risked her life on the march to Birmingham Alabama. Her entire life has been dedicated to "We shall overcome" There are black people who say, "We don't need or want the support of white people" This is reverse racism, we are ALL family in this global village. We are ALL responsible for each other.

@Grateful4you There’s no such thing as reverse racism. It’s all discrimination. Some people are bitter and distrustful, but what they don’t understand is, we’re 12% of the U.S. population at [b]best[/b]. Any successes we’ve had were with allies. Alienating people who aren’t against us is stupid and self-destructive.

@bijouxbroussard Thanks for the correction. I'm so glad my dad was pro-active in the 60's for hiring gays and black people for managing his supermarkets. People warned my dad there would be backlash from his customers, instead, it made his markets far more popular. The majority of people wanted equal rights.

@Grateful4you but remember, DeSantis was cheered by a lot of people when he pulled the immigrant stunt. The DeSantis' of this world are where they are because they've been empowered. If it wasn't for the base Trump is just a lying blowhard with silly hair. If DeSantis disappeared in a puff of smoke another DeSantis-like politician would step into his place because a faction of the population strongly supports it. It may not be a majority but it's a big enough minority, as we've seen, to change the country.
I think all of this is going to end very badly.

@robingoodfellow Sad but true. People like Trump and DeSantis tap into the racism and xenophobia that are still very much a part of this country’s character. If those problems weren’t still here, they wouldn’t be able to do that. 😞
