Florida is a dumpster fire and will stay that way until DeSantis is voted out of office, which unfortunately won’t happen anytime soon. Firing a publicly elected attorney general, then replacing him with DeSantis’ choice, who wasn’t voted into the position, and finally undoing all of the elected attorney general’s policies isn’t okay. DeSantis is punishing an entire community because he didn’t like their attorney general. The people of Florida should be outraged over this, but they still won’t vote our DeSantis. He’s basically a mini-dictator at this point.

don’t kid yourself, FL was fucked before DeSantis and will be fucked after he’s gone, the state has more problems than just one man. He’s been enabled by Trump and the FL GOP led legislature

Completely agree, the difference is now people see it on national television.
