He wants to make America into Gilead, waiting for him to announce he intends to create the department of Christianity.
Asked how he would replace the existing tax structure, DeSantis said he has “supported all of the single-rate proposals," referring to a flat tax.
A flat tax, a.k.a. taxing the people who can least afford it rather than the people who can most easily afford it. Cartoon villain shit.
You say "Department of Christianity" like it's a bad thing. Guess those public schools that you're so adamant to defend utterly failed you. This country was founded BY non-catholic Christians, FOR non-catholic Christians. The rest of you have just been tolerated for the longest time; which has turned out to be the biggest mistake this country has ever committed.
To be 100% clear, if I had the chance to jump into an alternate timeline where the United States stayed a Christian Theocratic Republic, I would. You Demonrats are the most unsufferable collection of Savages in the entire multiverse. And one day, the last of you will finally die and this country can become great again.
This is such lazy trolling. Try harder.

Nothing says "Small government" like banning drag shows, banning books, banning certain subjects from being taught in college (CRT and black history), telling women what they can and cannot do with their own bodies, going after Disney because they opposed your anti gay bills, etc....
This coming from the prince of unintended consequences.
Came in to lurk, but it seems that so many subhuman leftists are here from reddit. Like, jesus christ, is there any politics forum were you demons haven't infiltrated and corrupted?
That said, Desantis is weak and cowardly. I would've voted for him if he had not proven that with those fake AI photos of Trump and Faucci. So, I guess he did me a favor there.
Lastly, get rid of the IRS. It's not even a real american agency.
So a right wing echo chamber is what you're looking for. Exploding Heads and Voat have got you covered for your daily feed of blind hatred, vitriol and detachment from reality. Most people do not subscribe to that way of thinking (as it's backwards, reductive and harmful to society) and thus they are "everywhere". Your average online user is not a conservative.
Several falsities with this statement here.
Starting off with the fact that the only blind hatred, vitriol, and detachment from reality that has existed in this country in the last 22 years has been solely and exclusively from the left. What worse is, for quite a while there, the so-called thought leaders of the right did nothing meaningful to stop them; and in fact consorted with leftist terrorists in congress, giving them concessions, and ignoring their duty to uphold the Constitution.
We of the right are not backwards. We believe in family, faith, hard work, objective truth, honesty, and integrity. We believe that by placing these values first and foremost in our lives, we make our own lives and those of our families better. The left believes in themselves, faithlessness, laziness, "no truth but power", deception, and self image. They, at best, only wish for everyone and everything around them to serve them like kings. They are worthless parasites. At worst, the left actively works to destroy this country. Just look at New York, LA, Chicago, Portland, and San Franscico and see nothing but homelessness, unsolved crime, rampant drug use, and defunded police. They are run by the left and will die off in the next decade the same way that Detroit did.
Saying something is reductive is meaningless, as that word has become nothing more than a leftist buzzword.
As for the right being harmful to society; newsflash there is no more society in this country because of the left. Gender has been rendered as meaningless, Religion is being openly criminalized, the Constitution is completely ignored, leftist policy has destroyed what value the dollar had, etc. There is no common united society in the states anymore. No one on the right in a right leaning honestly cares what happens to a leftist anymore. Some foreign country could invade tomorrow, and the right won't lift a finger to help if that invasion happened in New York, Illinois, or California. I know I sure as hell won't care.
The Real problem is that for 23 years, smart leftists infiltrated news organizations and slow drove people insane with fake stories. I can't explain leftist judges, because no one on the left is smart enough to understand how the law of this country works. The left is sure conniving enough to be politicians though. After all, they never do any work themselves so all they need to do is lie, extort, and blackmail whoever they need to while they just sit around.
One day soon, this will all change though. The political pendulum is going to swing so hard back to the right that it's going to break the entire cycle. Your average person is seeing the lawlessness and insanity that has completely consumed the left. And they are pissed. The Bud Light effect is proof of that. The left is living on borrowed time, and they know it. That's why they push for censorship. That's why they called everything racist. That why they mob, riot, loot, murder, and intimidate. And I can not wait for the right to completely take over. I only wished it had happened sooner.
Oh, and thank you for the suggestions. I'll be sure to visit.
You should probably just keep lurking.
Only four?
Seem a very conservative number coming from him
I mean there is an argument to burning it all down and starting over but this ain't it lmao.
Congress would have to grant him Presidential Reorganization Authority to do what he's promising. The last president to be granted that was Reagan.
DeSantis is a facist fool with the personality of wet paper. He should never hold public office again.
Before everyone starts jumping to conclusions I just want to start by saying Desantis is a toxic douche who I do not and will never support. Please hear me out though.
The worst thing about federal agencies is that the President can control them with Executive Orders. In other words, power granted to these agencies is power granted to whomever the President is.
Getting rid of them does mean that we lose many regulations in the short term but it gives the power back to Congress and the states (yeah I know some states are going to do stupid shit and Congress is going to sit around with their thumbs up their asses and take forever to enact policy to replace it).
Long term getting rid of federal agencies could actually help protect us should another tyrannical President be elected.
If you want an example of why executive power is dangerous just look at what Trump and Ajit Pai did to internet regulation after the FCC was given control of the internet in the name of net neutrality.
Okay it could help, but the US need to not crumble or turn into a christofascist state first (impossible)
