DeSantis, that lovable pander-bear.

A new law in Florida has instituted restrictions on how schools and businesses can teach race-related concepts. The law, called the Stop Woke Act, limits instruction on critical race theory. It's the latest part of Republican Gov. Ron Desantis’ extensive efforts to reshape public education and curriculum in the state.

Because Florida doesn't have enough crazy to deal with already, we have to make laws against things that don't even exist.

After a hundred years of mocking the state, you conservatives might really want to consider where you're looking for your leadership.

It is time to eject Florida from the union.

@CorvusBlackthorne Can they take Texas with them?

@CorvusBlackthorne @independentone If we're not careful, they'll take us all with them.

@independentone I feel that we should perhaps allow the former Confederate states a second shot at Independence. Let them secede, and move the former president's wall a bit north.

@CorvusBlackthorne Good idea, biggest mistake Lincoln made was going to war to keep those inbreds in the Union.

@CorvusBlackthorne We absolutely should do this. Invite secession. We would control our interactions, dealings, partnerships or lack thereof. They could affect this new nation only as much as we allowed them to and if necessary, they wouldn't have to be a trade partner. Necessity is the mother of invention and the North would be just fine. And then we'd show them what efficient but ultra-stringent border rules mean, 'cause they're not coming back.

A fantasy, and not wholly rooted in altruism or the high road. But rather than keep telling those of us who don't like the tearing part of this country to leave it, why not choose any one of the banana republics we're turning into? Try Venezuela or Sri Lanka. Russia's always looking for citizens and if you want to learn Chinese, now's the time. Authoritarian regimes are a dime a dozen; don't turn a perfectly good nation into one of them.
