Unfortunately I'm moving there soon to be close to family. Despise the people who vote in the morons down there repeatedly -- against their own interests, at that. Embarrassing.

Voting against one’s own interests describes 90% of Indiana. It is a crimson red state with a few blue dots. It is also a working class/poor state (generally speaking) and the population votes for Republicans without fail.
Years ago I created a list of policies and benefits that would improve people’s lives and asked my stepfather and mother if they would like to see those policies created. Both were quite enthusiastic how great it would be to be able to access the benefits created (healthcare, social programs, etc). Then I handed them a list of the politicians running for the next election who were campaigning on those policies. Seeing that they were Democrats made my stepfather and mother immediately curse at me, accusing me of trying to trick them, lie to them and on and on. Both proclaimed in vivid language that they would rather die than ever vote for a “scum sucking Democrat”. This exchange did not happen in the last 6 years. It was 30 years ago.
It is a particularly peculiar human trait to deliberately thwart oneself. Humans would rather never change, even at great personal cost, than admit that they have been wrong. They would also rather be able to hurt others by denying them policies and benefits even if doing so hurts themselves. I can’t count how many conversations (rants) I heard around the kitchen table about making sure all those “damn others” (the most polite way to describe what was said) didn’t get anything from “my government”.
Being that you’re moving into someone else’s yard, you might not want to be acting like such a dick. Differences of opinion happen. If you’re going to come here with this fk you attitude, I’d suggest moving your relative closer to you. You don’t get second chances down here.
I'd say the vast majority of DeSantis's policies clearly are dick move material. Being vocally critical of the country (or state, in this example) are signs of patriotism. What patriot wouldn't want things to improve? Critique is requisite for things to change and get better. Only an anti-American would consider being critical of their government being "a bad thing."
I do have an open mind. Lots of wonderful people here. But too many don't vote with their own interests in mind -- only the party. Party over all else. There are absolutely republicans I would vote for. I'd wager the average republican REFUSES to ever vote for the other side. That's pathetic, childish, and anti-American.
If you think the vast majority of his policies are dick moves, the chances are high that you don’t know his policies and just accepted what someone else said.
It’s good to be critical, but not good to say it’s bad… ummm.. yeah, actually that’s still being critical. So far on your comments, the only thing I see that’s anti-American is you assuming what others do and being critical of your assumption. In other words, you made a completely asinine comment, and then called republicans pathetic, childish, and anti-American. Congratulations! That’s a uni-party comment dripping of anti-American sentiment and hate. I would also like to point out only 1 very short sentence. “Vote blue, no matter who.”
The policies I have read or heard him speak reflect authoritarian and anti-democracy creeds. Like taking away our agreed upon rights. That is anti-democracy. Destroying our education systems. Feels exactly like what Hitler did just before he began systematically destroying lives and gassing vast amounts of human beings. Look to your history to see how tyranny begins. We are there. Brainwashing the masses via fox "entertainment" and QAnon are extremist, cult moves supported by hostile foreign interests in destroying us. If
mama people do not understand our true history and that of tyrants, they are doomed to repeat atrocities agains innocent people. Like the goddamned weapons of mass destruction on our children. WTF. Who the hell in their right mind thinks that the common man deserves to have automatic weapons. That is just toxic masculinity and fear-based living and we are sick of this propaganda. At least those of who who want to live in a decent, safe world and still have our critical thinking skills to decipher right and wrong living.
And again, you’re proving by your words that you have no idea what he said or the laws he’s passing…so how about this.. pick 1 of his policies you dislike and is anti-American. But explain what you know about it. Everything you’ve said is generalized dem talking points. Nothing specific which makes me believe you are going by hearsay. 1 policy. Explain it and your beef. I’ll respond.

Which Desantis policies do you disagree with? Should Disney Corp. continue to get a huge tax break? Should our southern border remain open?

Perhaps some yards need to be cleaned up in order to keep our democracy.
