He keep saying shit like this and just once I would like him to explain HOW. WHAT POLICY? What, Ron, will you do that will "push back against leftism"? Tell me what you plan to enact.
Being mean to trans and gay people. That's the policy.
But that's my point. I want him to say that. I want him to explain his actual policy in uncoded terms.
"Throw dem gays into the nuklear reactor"
Ron DeSantis probably
Don’t forget black people. He was busy scrubbing away black history in Florida.
The government having money to operate is A WOKE LIBERAL AGENDA!!!
Infrastructure spending? THAT'S A REAL LIBRUL IDEA YOU HAVE THERE. THEM BRIDGES SHOULD PULL THEMSELVES UP BY THE BOOTSTRAPS AND PAY FOR THEIR OWN REPAIRS.
Irs. Married filing jointly is only available for male female couples.
Education is an easy one because we already saw what he wants to do with floridas system. Basically erase history and ban books.
I have a guess he also wants to copy Hungary's education system, which is not only barely functioning due to a total lack of replenishment of retired teachers, but also horribly whitewash Hungarian history.
Think the "states rights" thing was bad? Get ready to the "we never did X, yet we got punished for it" method of teaching history.
It's a threat. He is saying if congress does not get rid of federal agencies he is going to use Executive Orders to try to force policy he knows will piss people off. I don't think the policy really matters at this point.
It does though. Policy should be the only thing that matters. We need to force our politicians to talk about their actual plans, the actions they will actually take, the policies they will enforce.
Let me rephrase. He is saying "Get rid of these agencies or I'm going to fuck you with all of the power they give me."
My point is that the details of how he fucks you is not as important as the fact that he is going to.
We fundamentally disagree my friend. I know what you're saying and I disagree. The how is important. I want him, and all politicians, to be pressed on telling Americans how they're going to do these things. Tell Americans in no uncertain terms how their policies will impact them.
I 100% agree with you there.
I'm just concerned about getting distracted by the "or else" part of his statement when his real intention is getting rid of the agencies.
