TALLAHASSEE — Supporters of Confederate monuments and other historical markers could sue over removal or destruction of the displays, under a controversial proposal continuing to move forward in the Florida Senate.

In a 6-2 party-line vote, the Republican-controlled Community Affairs Committee on Wednesday backed the bill (SB 1096), which would give standing to people to file lawsuits if they believe they have “lost history” or the ability to teach about the past because of monuments being removed or relocated or because the structures were not protected from damage.

“What I like about these memorials in public places is that everybody has the opportunity to see who we were,” bill sponsor Jonathan Martin, R-Fort Myers, said.
CAn you find one bill in one red state or the House DC that is about jobs or whatever, nope.
I sigh in your general direction.

Currently the unemployment rate in Florida is 2.6pct. Another reason to vote for DeSantis.

And yet he can’t catch the psychopath.

Not to mention his authoritarian bullshit won’t play very well outside the Confederacy.

Oops. DeathSantis is another lying sack of shit Republican.

Welp, I agree with the small correction that it is white conservatives who haven’t stopped fighting the Civil War.

I would also note that the Republican Party abandoned the Black man after the Civil War because the Northern conservative businessmen wanted to do business with the South.
