Why do people support Ron DeSantis when he is so openly anti-First Amendment?

The ADL found that Florida is home to an overlapping network of white supremacists and anti-Semitic groups responsible for organizing numerous rallies and distributing hateful propaganda. Of course, because Ron DeSantis is their buddy.

Floridians should know that Ron DeSantis wasted 12 million dollars to send Venezuelan migrants from Florida to Martha’s Vineyard.

More political stunts from Florida’s wannabe dictator.

What makes you think he's anti-First Amendment? None of the things you listed qualify; in the unlikely event the ADL is actually correct, then defending the rights of bigots to speak their horrible ideas is not just the practical course of action- allowing bad ideas to be openly discussed and disproven- it's the Constitutionally correct thing to do, as well, since THAT'S WHAT FREE SPEECH *MEANS*.

Sending illegal immigrants to the places where the rich Democrat leadership lives is the only way to make them see the cost of poor border policies, short of sending them directly to the Captiol building (and given what happened the last time THAT was tried, you can't blame him for not wanting a repeat), and shows their supporters, too. Spending $12 million on it was probably more than necessary, but that way, you don't have people accusing you of horribly mistreating them by keeping them in miserable conditions.

Plus, Florida HAS $12 million to spare, because DeSantis didn't keep it shut down. It turns out that NOT destroying your economy makes money- who would've thought?

So the ADL found people are using their first amendment rights in a way you do not like and somehow that means DeSantis is anti-first amendment because he won't strip the people you want to silence of their first amendment rights... Meanwhile you somehow think Latin American migrants have something to do with the first amendment. Did your mom huff gold spray paint when she was pregnant with you?

😂 You don't know what you're talking about. He is for the first amendment when it comes to presenting ideas and then breaking down what is good and what is bad. He always goes with what is good and stops what is bad. That's just the kind of leader we need. He has my vote if he runs.

@AgagagagaForU2 I'm starting to keep track of some users here. Analyzing their writing so I can identify them in the future. This is either a new one or she just used somewhat different language. I will save this one for reference. Thanks.

[NewsReader]

@AgagagagaForU2 I got your comment. Yeah, I will be keeping an eye on her.

Preventing teachers from teaching young ass kids about sexual concepts and gender identities is not appropriate when the kids are legit below the age of 10


Kids should be taught those things right around the age where they hit puberty. That’s when it’s appropriate.


So no, him banning teachers from doing that isn’t anti first amendment.


Those teachers should teach those kids about math, English, science, etc.


Not what a cock n balls is etc.

Why to people reference organizations like the "Anti-Defamation League", "American Civil liberties union", or the "Southern Poverty Law Center" as if they were ever anything more than a highly partisan propaganda outlets?

I mean seriously these organizations are is no different than referencing the Democratic or Republican party website.

DeSantis is an authoritarian nightmare, and he doesn't even try to hide it. He embraces it, and he's proud of it.

I am very, very scared of him running for President, because he would be 1,000 times worse than he is now.

[Danny_dan92]

Oh right cause your wonderful president isn’t huh? The same one that tried to overreach his power to force the entire nation to get a vaccine?

I suppose your definition of an authoritarian is different depending on the individual in question

The white house staff has not once visited the border to witness first hand the illegal aliens entering the country on a daily basis and the meaning of "liberals" to me is "do what I say and not what I do" or "Not in my backyard". As a Lifelong Massachusetts resident Martha's Vineyard is where millionaires and Billionaires reside so if they are the ones calling Ron Desantis a racist or a bigot it only means that the biggest finger pointer's have the dirtiest hands

[jshm2]

They just don't know any better.,

They think pandering to their biases and being a wasteful prick ; makes Desantis look "strong". Instead of the small demagogue that he is

[BTCMoon]

I support him based on the performance of his state. I don't pay too much attention to the social semantics of politics. It's all a game. I think he runs a great state relative to the rest of the country.

[Sargentcaptain]

> citing the ADL as a credible source

lol, opinion dismissed

[Sandeeppingping]

Damn nazis had style, that's a cool ass outfit

[SiberFox]

That is an hilarious picture WP, also the ADL was formed to protect a pedophile who was eventually lynched for raping a minor.

How is he against religion. He kept churches open during Covid. You Democrats tried destroy religion and your BLM friend burned them down.

[loveslongnails]

Same reason Trump has so many supporters - they're stupid fucking idiots.

[KostasKouvalis]

You literally just gave an example of how he isn't

[cloud9vortex1234]

I love this guy and has the spine Republicans need.

[joeldalton]

Found the democrat bot.

[Cubus]

Do you have any examples?

Go away cry baby.

He isn't though.

Citing the American Defamation League is pretty stupid.
