"Because" DeSantis boasted, "everyone knows if I'm the nominee, I will beat Biden, uh, and I will serve two terms and I will be able to, uh, destroy leftism in this country and leave woke ideology on the dustbin of history."

I think this is the first credible candidate for President in our nation’s history that has promised to wipe out all opposition if elected. He said this on Fox News: https://www.rawstory.com/ron-desantis-v ... 660717964/
Again for someone who claims to be so smart you sure don't have much comprehension.
So this was a trolling thread got it
If this isn't a trolling thread then it is way to stupid to respond to.
The fact that you believe the republican party in general and DeSantis in particular want to kill liberals says all anyone needs to know.
Not only are they wrong, I guess they have to leave.
IMO he was doing a rah rah rah campaign event and is trying to lure Trump voters his way.ProfX wrote: ↑Tue May 30, 2023 9:05 am Dunno, he didn't say anything about killing anybody, I agree, but this idea that's his job - to "end" leftism, or wokeism, whatever that is ... sounds pretty nasty. (P.S. no previous POTUS did that, or even vowed to do it). Plus he already knows he's gonna win AND win 2 terms. Wow, that's a lot of arrogance.
Kind of up there with Sen. "Skeletor" Scott saying all socialists aren't welcome in Florida. Huh, must be that tolerance for intellectual diversity from conservatives I keep hearing about.
Perhaps we could talk about the educators, LGBT folks, and minorities leaving or boycotting the state. Well done Guv.
Lots of harsh rhetoric out the Prof. I know you guys go apeshit when I say this but both sides could stand to back off that type of rhetoric. But we are already into another election cycle so there is little chance of that.ProfX wrote: ↑Tue May 30, 2023 9:05 am Dunno, he didn't say anything about killing anybody, I agree, but this idea that's his job - to "end" leftism, or wokeism, whatever that is ... sounds pretty nasty.

This is the first time any credible Presidential candidate threatened his entire opposition.JoeMemphis wrote: ↑Tue May 30, 2023 10:25 am Lots of harsh rhetoric out the Prof. I know you guys go apeshit when I say this but both sides could stand to back off that type of rhetoric.

It is no big deal you paranoid little man. Nobody is coming for you. Take a pill and continue your afternoon nap. It will all be alright when you wake up.gounion wrote: ↑Tue May 30, 2023 11:43 am This is the first time any credible Presidential candidate threatened his entire opposition.
And you pretend it’s no big deal. Just normal, right?
No. What will he do? Make leftism illegal? If so I’ll be in jail - most of us will. Will you mind? Hell no. You’d cheer if all of us were hauled off to jail. You don’t believe in freedom, just yours.
No you are right Toonces. Nobody on the left ever uses harsh rhetoric. That never happens.Toonces wrote: ↑Tue May 30, 2023 1:24 pm I'd be prepared to write it off to hyperbole but if Florida acts as a microcosm, then we can see there has been animosity towards LGBTQ and visible minorities that ranges somewhere between covert and overt. DeSantis has deputized bigots to police what is acceptable. DeSantis has gone to war with Disney for their support of LGBTQ and for what? Will it result in the genocide of the left? That seems unlikely but to believe it is entirely benign is foolish.
All this has given people the belief that it's now acceptable to be openly hostile to people based on how they were born. Let me say that again, the actions and words of DeSantis and Donald have given people the belief that it's now acceptable to be openly hostile to people based on how they were born. That should not be acceptable in any civilized society. It's one thing for the crackpot down the street to do it, it's another thing when it's people in positions of power and leadership to do it.
You may now whatabout away.
I’m reminded of the entitled parents in the principles office that can’t believe their little Johnny does anything wrong. How are those rose colored glasses fitting on you?Explain.
In a discussion, comparisons are made between the similar circumstances. Happens all the time on this board. If I comment on Biden, then folks here will immediately go off on what about Trump or Reagan and on and on and on. So whataboutism is practiced quite often. By everyone on the board. But today whataboutism seems to bother you.
