Republicans are BIG GOVERNMENT “Control Freaks”

Republicans are Anti-Democratic Fascist “Control Freaks” who want BIG GOVERNMENT to control every aspect of people’s lives… what women can do with their own bodies, anti-choice Laws against Women’s Rights which Bans Abortions after 6 weeks with NO EXCEPTION for Rape or Incest, force 10 yr/old girls to carry and give Birth to a RAPIST CHILD, $10,000 Bounties on anyone who helps a women get an Abortion, what can be read in schools, what can be discussed in classrooms, Anti-Protesting Laws to silence anyone who dare protest and raise objections to Republican’s oppression, what can be written on the Internet on Blogs, attacking freedom of speech with laws making it easier to SUE when you speak out against them and everything else.

 

 

Control is now a pillar of the Republican vision

“Control over your body, your self-expression, your gender identity, your children, your family is what the Republican Party has been obsessed with in these last few years, all over the country, in every state where they have political power,” says Chris Hayes.

 

Here’s a list of the some of the ways these Anti-Democratic, Anti-Freedom FASCIST REPUBLICANS are attempting to control people;

  • Dystopian Laws Attacking Freedom of Speech to SILENCE & SUE Critics
  • Culture Wars and “Woke” BULLSHIT
  • Anti-choice Laws against Women’s Rights which Bans Abortions after 6 weeks with NO EXCEPTION for Rape or Incest. Force 10 yr/old girls to carry and give Birth to a RAPIST CHILD, $10,000 Bounties on anyone who helps a women get an Abortion. Proposed South Caroline law could sentence a woman to DEATH for having an abortion.
  • Anti-Science Republican Partisan Judge BANS Abortion Pill (Mifepristone) because he’s PERSONALLY against abortions.
  • Republican Ruled Idaho passed law to BAN interstate travel for abortions
  • Transgender athlete discrimination Laws
  • Florida Senate Bill 254 would allow the state to take Trans children receiving gender-affirming care away from Parents
  • Laws limiting what can be discussed in classrooms… Limiting what Teachers can Teach, Say and what can be discussed,
  • Law requiring Colleges Students and Faculty submit to Political Beliefs Surveys
  • Teachers must withhold classroom library books until they can be individually reviewed for certification or face being charged with a third-degree felony if violated.
  • DeSantis Hostile Takeover of Liberal New College of Florida is following the playbook of Fascist Autocrat Dictator of Hungary Viktor Orban by taking control of Education
  • Teachers must withhold classroom library books until they can be individually reviewed for certification in the wake of a new law, House Bill 1467, which can result in a third-degree felony if violated.
  • Indoctrinate Educators with Radical Right Wing Ideology. (Per news reports) Encouraged by DeSantis, Christian nationalist values and an “originalist” interpretation of the U.S. Constitution is now being taught in Florida Schools.
  • Florida HB 999 Republican plan to restrict the way history is taught at Florida’s colleges and universities is receiving outcry from academics & historians across the U.S. (Another example of Fascist, Authoritarian policies).
  • DeSantis has publicly called for putting cameras and microphones into classrooms to monitor teachers. He wants more surveillance in every part of our lives, empowering legislators to police classrooms, doctor’s offices, the workplace.
  • Voting Police to intimidate people so they’re afraid to vote in Florida
  • Florida Employees Threatened With Demotions If They Criticize DeSantis
  • Florida ‘Bloggers Bill’ which would require anyone who writes about Florida Republicans and DeSantis to register with the state and put on an ‘enemies list’. This is another BLATANT violation of the 1st Amendment and attempt to SILENCE critics. This is the same Anti-Democratic, Fascist Authoritarian tactic used by the Nazi German Propaganda Ministry in 1933 called the “Editors Law” and in 2014 by War Criminal Dictator Vladimir Putin, forcing bloggers in Russia to register with the Russian Media office.
  • Attacking Freedom of Speech – Bill HB 991 to significantly weaken libel laws. Critics believe this is an attempt to give Ron DeSantis even more power to sue his critics for saying things he doesn’t like. Bill 991 also gives Florida residents the right to sue others (both in the state or elsewhere in the U.S.) who describe their actions online as transphobic or homophobic, for $35,000 and would not allow the truth to be used in defenses against such lawsuits.
  • “Don’t say Gay” Law limiting what can be discussed in classrooms. This Law which doesn’t fix any existing problems, it’s a “Solution in Search of a Problem” and unnecessary BIG Government regulations & restrictions which makes teachers jobs more difficult.
  • Retaliated against Disney for exercising their First Amendment Right to Freedom of Speech, stripping Disney of 50+ years self-governing authority after Disney stated opposition to the ‘Don’t say Gay’ law which limits discussing LGBTQ issues in schools.
  • Retaliated against the Tampa Bay Rays by blocking state money for training facility after the team exercised their First Amendment Right to Freedom of Speech by tweeting against gun violence
  • Florida Police raided the home of former Covid-19 Scientist Rebekah Jones after her data contradicted DeSantis’ Covid Data claims.
  • Anti-Protesting Laws making protesting a felony & allowing protestors can be run over & killed with no consequences. This law was passed to silence and intimidate anyone who dare protest and raise objections to Republican’s oppression (similar to Russia and North Korea)
  • Bill to eliminate the Democrat Party in the State of Florida, thereby creating One Party Rule is similar to how dictator Victor Orbán took over the once Democratic government in Hungary
  • Felons Victimized by Republicans and DeSantis “Voter Fraud Crackdown”. Per an article at commondreams.org, “Most who were arrested were approved by the Florida Department of Elections, which sent their voter registration cards ahead of the 2020 elections. All were charged with third-degree felony voter fraud, a crime punishable by as many as five years behind bars and up to a $5,000 fine. The ACLU of Florida stated, “The arrests are a grotesque abuse of power by Gov. DeSantis”.
  • Using Migrants as Props. Per an article at theguardian.com, “DeSantis should be prosecuted for his treatment of immigrants. Those conspiring with him appear to have acted criminally under Texas law. Title 5, section 20 of the Texas penal code defines the crime of unlawful restraint. Under the statute, a person is restrained if their movement is restricted without their consent by, among other means, moving the person from one place to another. Restraint is without consent “if it is accompanied … by deception”. Under the statute, the violation is a class A misdemeanor, unless the person restrained is younger than 17, in which case it is a felony. According to reporting, there were children among those criminally transported to Martha’s Vineyard”.
  • DeSantis wants his own State Militia which would only answer to him and “not be encumbered to the federal government.”
  • Florida Republican Governor DeSantis fought for and was given the authority to redraw Congressional districts to rig elections in Republican’s favor. This resulted in House Seats being stolen from Democrats. Another example of how Republicans know they can’t win elections unless they CHEAT because their policies are UNPOPULAR.

Book Banning Republicans are NAZIS!

Book Banning Republicans are Anti-Democratic, Anti-Freedom of Speech, Fascist Authoritarian NAZIS

On May 10, 1933, German students under the Nazi regime burned tens of thousands of books nationwide. These book burnings marked the beginning of a period of extensive censorship and control of culture in Adolf Hitler’s escalating reign of terror.

 

Book Burning and Literary Censorship Similar to 1930’s Nazi Germany

 

 

The Republicans Are the Party of Thugs and Nazis

A groper in the White House, a man who just appears to have engaged in unprovoked assault welcomed to Congress, white-power extremists everywhere.

Since the founding of this country, we didn’t have laws outlawing books and limiting what can be discussed in classrooms. Teachers and school staff were trusted to display appropriate books and discuss subjects as they saw fit. If they did something wrong, they were reprimanded, removed and/or fired. This common sense approach to running schools has worked just fine since the beginning of our country.

Laws outlawing books and limiting what can be discussed in classrooms violates every Republican Principal of “Limited Government”.

REPUBLICANS legislating what books can be displayed, what can be discussed in classrooms where REPUBLICANS want to micro-manage and control every aspect of people’s lives, is BIG GOVERNMENT FASCISM

TODAY’S REPUBLICANS are the ENEMY of Freedom of Speech, Civil Rights, Women’s Rights, Democracy, Decency and Freedom

People who continue to vote for Republicans are DESTROYING the United States and tuning our country into Anti-Democratic, Anti-Freedom of Speech, Fascist Authoritarian country of CENSORSHIP and OPPRESSION.

Banning Books Stifles Curiosity, and Ultimately Imperils Society

In recent weeks, hundreds of books have either been challenged, barred, or face proposals to get pulled from schools, curricula, and libraries across the country. They’ve been deemed “controversial” for a variety of reasons. Some say they contain “objectionable language”, they’re “too sexually explicit”, or they fall falsely accused of being about Critical Race Theory. In some cases, the problem with these books is that their contents just might make a young reader or, more likely their parents, uncomfortable. There are a host of arguments made against the books – some are simply prudish, but several are clearly racist or homophobic or transphobic, and most of it is anti-intellectual: the same sort that gets us climate deniers and anti-vaxxers. Simply put, banning books is bad. It deprives people young and old of exposure to ideas, concepts, and world views that are not their own. It stifles curiosity. It perpetuates stereotypes. And when you dampen curiosity, you weaken our ability to think critically – to know when you are being fooled. Banning books is going to make us into a stupid society, vulnerable to misinformation and manipulation. We are less informed when our choices about the range of information we consume is arbitrarily limited. Sometimes it feels like there’s too much to fight for and it’s hard to win.

Rules of the Demagogue

 

Republicans are Fascists who want to DESTROY Democracy in the United States

 

 

Republicans are proving they’re Anti-Democratic Authoritarian Fascist, Threatening our Liberty & Freedom… passing laws which Criminalize Assembly & Protests, Laws Limiting what can be Discussed & Taught in Classrooms, Laws Legalizing Running over & Killing Protestors, Passing Anti-Choice Legislation Against Women, Turning the U.S. into a Gestapo Secret Police State by Placing $10,000 Bounties on anyone who helps a Women get an Abortion, Forcing 10 yr/old Girls to give Birth to a Rapist Child, Rigging Elections by Gerrymandering, Voter Obstruction, Voter Purges, Passing laws to Overturn Election Results, Decreasing Voting by Mail, Decreasing Drop Boxes, Decreasing the Days & Hours people can Vote, Making it Illegal to give Food or Water to people waiting in Long Lines they’re responsible for causing to make it difficult to Vote, Conspiracy Theories, LIES and refusing to eliminate the Electoral College which made two (2) unpopular & unqualified Republicans Presidents, who the majority didn’t vote for.

 

Republicans fit all of the Characteristics of Fascism described below

Fourteen Characteristics of Fascism Article by Dr. Lawrence Britt

1. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights – Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of “need.” The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc.

2. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause – The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial , ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc.

3. Supremacy of the Military – Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.

4. Rampant Sexism – The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Divorce, abortion and homosexuality are suppressed and the state is represented as the ultimate guardian of the family institution.

5. Controlled Mass Media – Sometimes to media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common.

6. Obsession with National Security – Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses.

7. Religion and Government are Intertwined – Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government’s policies or actions.

8. Corporate Power is Protected – The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite.

9. Labor Power is Suppressed – Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed.

10. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts – Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts and letters is openly attacked.

11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment – Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations.

12. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption – Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders.

13. Manipulate & Control elections – Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate & control elections.

14. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism – Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.

 

REPUBLICANS ARE LIKE ISLAMIC TERRORISTS

 

Radical Right Wing, Trump Supporting Republicans can be easily spotted in Pick-up Trucks with flags (similar to Islamic Terrorist in pick-up trucks with flags).

 

Republican ARE America’s TALIBAN

Lawless Radical Right-Wing MAGA Trump supporters smash into another car during a crazed attack attempting to run Biden campaign bus off the road. Note the FLAGS on Truck similar to those of ISIS Islamic Terrorists.

Here’s a few of the behaviors and ideologies Republicans, The Taliban and Islamic ISIS Terrorist have in common;

  1. Bullies
  2. Religious extremists (such as Christian Evangelists)
  3. Extremists who resort to Violence to get their way (January 6, 2021 riots to overturn legitimate election which their leader, Trump lost)
  4. Right-wing Anti-democratic Fascist (most Republicans condone eliminating a free press and democracy)
  5. Suppress Women’s Rights (anti-abortion laws)
  6. Extreme Patriotism with tons of flags

 

 

 

POLL: Only 36% Of Republicans Support Freedom Of The Press

43% of Republicans think President Trump “should have the authority to close news outlets engaged in bad behavior,” while only 36% disagreed with the statement, according to an Ipsos poll

 

Trump Supporters Are Excited By The Idea Of Him Being A Dictator

Donald Trump did exactly what most of us expected, and he actually convinced his base that he SHOULD be a dictator if he gets back into office, and that it is somehow a good thing to trample on the Constitution. Ever since Trump first made his dictator comments, his supporters have been quick to defend and ultimately offer their praise of the comments, and that part isn’t dying down, either. A new poll also shows that a strong number of Iowa voters say that his rhetoric makes it MORE likely that they will support him.

 

Republicans are engaging in Nazi tactics by “Accusing the other side of that which they are Guilty” (attempting to steal the 2020 election) and repeating Trump’s “BIG LIE” that he won the 2020 election.

 

Republicans are constantly demonizing Antifa (Anti-Fascist) as being BAD because Antifa supports Democracy and is a threat to Fascism. Republicans equate Black Lives Matter as being one and the same as Antifa. They’ll say “BLM Antifa Protestors” in the same sentence as though a BLM protestor is a automatically a member of “Antifa”. Not true.

Antifa is an ideology, not an organization” stated FBI Director Chris Wray in sworn testimony to congress on September 17, 2020.

Being against Antifa means your against Democracy and FOR anti-democratic, authoritarian Fascism. German Nazis were Right-Wing “Conservative” Fascist.

The full name of Hitler’s party was Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei. In English, that translates to National Socialist German Workers’ Party. But it was not a socialist party; it was a right-wing, ultranationalist party dedicated to racial purity, territorial expansion and anti-Semitism and total political control.

The Nazi party was largely supported by small-business men and conservative industrialists (just like today’s American Republican party).

 

Expert Compares Trump’s Politics to Fascism

Yale philosophy professor Jason Stanley explains why he claims President Donald Trump’s politics are akin to fascism, a political movement based around a leader.

 

Republicans admit they want Trump to be a Dictator and want to eliminate Democracy

 

Right’s Embrace of Authoritarianism

 

This video gives insight into the oppressive laws Republicans has been passing in recent years such as anti-voting laws to rig elections in their favor, anti-abortion, anti-LGBT laws and how Russia shares many of the same anti-democratic ideals and values held by Republicans.

Trump Endorses Right-Wing Autocrat In Hungary

Former U.S. Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul and former FBI special agent Clint Watts discuss with Nicolle Wallace the former president’s endorsement of Viktor Orban ahead of the Parliamentary elections in Hungary.

 

CPAC Gives Far-Right Hungarian Leader A Standing Ovation

Hungary’s authoritarian prime minister was met with a warm welcome from conservatives in Dallas, TX weeks after giving a speech in which he said he opposed “mixed race” societies. MSNBC political analyst Peter Beinart tells MSNBC’s Zerlina Maxwell that the fact Victor Orbán was given such a prominent speaking role at CPAC says that the Republican party is “less conservative than it is just white Christian nationalist.”

 

Thom Hartmann explains how Victor Orbán and his Radical Right-Wing Party took over the once Democratic government in Hungary and turned it into a anti-democratic authoritarian fascist one-party-rule dictatorship where elections & the courts are rigged, all of the media is state controlled and praise for Victor Orbán Propaganda is seen everywhere.

 

How To Dismantle A Democracy

If you’re curious about why Tucker Carlson is doing his show from Budapest, Hungary all week, so is Mehdi. Especially given that country’s recent history of doing away with democracy and rise of autocracy. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has become a favorite among Trump-loving ethno-nationalists. Yale’s Jason Stanley and authoritarian expert Ruth Ben-Ghiat break down why Orbán — and the fascination with Orbán — is so dangerous.

 

Why Republicans Don’t Want A Democracy

 

John Dean, former White house counsel to Nixon, joined Keith Olbermann to explain the theories in his new book, “Conservatives Without Conscience,” which explains a lot of the behavior we see in the Republican party today.

Famous Quotes About Fascism Which Apply to Today’s Republican Party…

Benito Mussolini – “Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power”

George Orwell – “In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”

Sinclair Lewis – “When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross.”

Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism – “Before mass leaders seize the power to fit reality to their lies, their propaganda is marked by its extreme contempt for facts as such, for in their opinion fact depends entirely on the power of man who can fabricate it.”

Franklin D. Roosevelt – “The first truth is that the liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is fascism — ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power…. Among us today a concentration of private power without equal in history is growing.”

Erich Fromm, Escape from Freedom – “When Fascism came into power, most people were unprepared, both theoretically and practically. They were unable to believe that man could exhibit such propensities for evil, such lust for power, such disregard for the rights of the weak, or such yearning for submission. Only a few had been aware of the rumbling of the volcano preceding the outbreak.”

Henry A. Wallace – “If we define an American fascist as one who in case of conflict puts money and power ahead of human beings, then there are undoubtedly several million fascists in the United States.”

Upton Sinclair – “Fascism is capitalism plus murder.”

Mehmet Murat ildan – “Let fascism find not even a single passage to power or else that poisonous snake will infiltrate into every vital corner of the country and kill the future of the nation!”

 

Republicans are starting to look like authoritarian parties in Hungary and Turkey, study finds | CNN

The Republicans have become more illiberal and populist in recent decades and are now starting to resemble autocratic parties like Hungary’s Fidesz and Turkey’s AKP, according to a new study from Sweden.

Per the above article’ “Experts from the V-Dem Institute at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden stated US Republicans are starting to look a lot like authoritarian parties like Hungary’s Fidesz and Turkey’s AKP.

“What we see is that the disrespect of political opponents, the encouragement of violence and also the violation of minority rights … they have all clearly increased with the Republican Party in recent years, since [President Donald Trump] came in the leadership but also before that,” Anna Luehrmann, V-Dem’s deputy director and one of the lead authors of the study, told CNN”.

Rand Paul latest in GOP to question ‘democracy and majority rule’

If Rand Paul wants to criticize “democracy and majority rule,” he’ll have to do better than this.

Per the above article; “About a month before Election Day 2020, Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) raised a few eyebrows by declaring via social media that the United States is “not a democracy.” The Utah Republican added soon after, “Democracy isn’t the objective”.

Eight months later, the New York Times published a report on the severity of Republican efforts to thwart our electoral system, and it quoted Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) making related comments.

“The idea of democracy and majority rule really is what goes against our history and what the country stands for,” the GOP senator said. “The Jim Crow laws came out of democracy. That’s what you get when a majority ignores the rights of others.”

At face value, it’s both unusual and jarring to see prominent Republican officials such as Lee and Paul expressing public skepticism, not about progressive governance, but about democracy itself”.

The Past 5 Elected GOP Presidents (except for Ford) have used unethical, unscrupulous tactics to obtain the Presidency

People are wondering about the parallels between today’s Republican Party, organized crime, and whether “Teflon Don” Trump will remain unscathed through his many scandals, ranging from interactions with foreign oligarchs to killing tens of thousands of Americans by denying them healthcare to stepping up the destruction of our environment and public lands.

History suggests, even if treason can be demonstrated that, as long as he holds onto the Republican Party (and Fox News), he’ll survive it intact. And he won’t be the first Republican president to commit high crimes to get and stay in office.

In fact, Eisenhower was the last legitimately elected Republican president we’ve had in this country.

Since Dwight Eisenhower left the presidency in 1961, six different Republicans have occupied the Oval Office.

As explained in the info & videos on this page, every one of them (except for Ford) from Richard Nixon to Donald Trump used unethical, unscrupulous tactics to obtain the presidency.

 

Nixon records show that in 1968, as a presidential candidate, he used Anna Chennault as his liaison in Vietnam, to persuade them to refuse a cease-fire being brokered by President Lyndon Johnson. This was done to hurt Democratic Presidential candidate Hubert Humphrey and help Nixon.

Johnson was livid. He even called the Republican Senate Minority Leader, Everett Dirksen to complain that “they oughtn’t be doing this. This is treason.” “I know,” was Dirksen’s feeble reply.

This treason cost the lives of many service men. To him, getting re-elected was more important. I’ll never understand why Johnson (who I’m no fan of) didn’t out Nixon as he should of for his treason and costing the lives of our troops.

The Corruption of the Republican Party

The GOP is best understood as an insurgency that carried the seeds of its own corruption from the start.

Per the above article; “Why has the Republican Party become so thoroughly corrupt? The reason is historical—it goes back many decades—and, in a way, philosophical. The party is best understood as an insurgency that carried the seeds of its own corruption from the start”.

“The corruption I mean has less to do with individual perfidy than institutional depravity. It isn’t an occasional failure to uphold norms, but a consistent repudiation of them. It isn’t about dirty money so much as the pursuit and abuse of power—power as an end in itself, justifying almost any means. Political corruption usually trails financial scandals in its wake—the foam is scummy with self-dealing—but it’s far more dangerous than graft. There are legal remedies for Duncan Hunter, a representative from California, who will stand trial next year for using campaign funds to pay for family luxuries.* But there’s no obvious remedy for what the state legislatures of Wisconsin and Michigan, following the example of North Carolina in 2016, are now doing”.

“Republican majorities are rushing to pass laws that strip away the legitimate powers of newly elected Democratic governors while defeated or outgoing Republican incumbents are still around to sign the bills. Even if the courts overturn some of these power grabs, as they have in North Carolina, Republicans will remain securely entrenched in the legislative majority through their own hyper-gerrymandering—in Wisconsin last month, 54 percent of the total votes cast for major-party candidates gave Democrats just 36 of 99 assembly seats—so they will go on passing laws to thwart election results. Nothing can stop these abuses short of an electoral landslide. In Wisconsin, a purple state, that means close to 60 percent of the total vote”.

The fact that no plausible election outcome can check the abuse of power is what makes political corruption so dangerous. It strikes at the heart of democracy. It destroys the compact between the people and the government. In rendering voters voiceless, it pushes everyone closer to the use of undemocratic means.

“Today’s Republican Party has cornered itself with a base of ever older, whiter, more male, more rural, more conservative voters. Demography can take a long time to change—longer than in progressives’ dreams—but it isn’t on the Republicans’ side. They could have tried to expand; instead, they’ve hardened and walled themselves off. This is why, while voter fraud knows no party, only the Republican Party wildly overstates the risk so that it can pass laws (including right now in Wisconsin, with a bill that reduces early voting) to limit the franchise in ways that have a disparate partisan impact. This is why, when some Democrats in the New Jersey legislature proposed to enshrine gerrymandering in the state constitution, other Democrats, in New Jersey and around the country, objected”.

“Taking away democratic rights—extreme gerrymandering; blocking an elected president from nominating a Supreme Court justice; selectively paring voting rolls and polling places; creating spurious anti-fraud commissions; misusing the census to undercount the opposition; calling lame-duck legislative sessions to pass laws against the will of the voters—is the Republican Party’s main political strategy, and will be for years to come”.

A Senate panel leaves Florida doctors shielded from medical malpractice suits

The Judiciary Committee postponed consideration of a bill that would have allowed parents of adult children to win pain and suffering damages in medical malpractice lawsuits.

Per the above article: “Senate panel leaves Florida doctors shielded from medical malpractice suits”

“The Judiciary Committee postponed consideration of a bill that would have allowed parents of adult children to win pain and suffering damages in medical malpractice lawsuits. Florida’s Senate has effectively abandoned bipartisan efforts to overturn what critics have derided as the state’s “free kill” law, which generally prevents families from filing medical malpractice lawsuits against doctors or hospitals when the victims are adults.

Consumers said the decision in the Republican-controlled Legislature improperly shields negligent doctors. It represents a victory for doctors and hospitals in Florida – and the state Chamber of Commerce – who said the current limits in the law keep their malpractice insurance premiums affordable. Similar efforts to overturn the law failed in the Legislature last year, too.

After roughly four weeks into the 60-day legislative session in Tallahassee, the Senate Judiciary Committee last week postponed consideration of a bill, SB 262, that would have allowed parents of their adult children to win pain and suffering damages in medical malpractice lawsuits. The committee, led by Sen. Danny Burgess, R-Zephyrhills, had the last of its seven meetings Monday with no further ones scheduled, effectively killing the bill, sponsored by Sen. Ana Maria Rodriguez, R-Doral. It is possible, but not likely, that the Senate president could authorize another committee meeting unexpectedly”.

DeSantis & Florida Republicans Don’t Care What Their Constituents Want!

 

Florida Republicans & Governor Ron DeSantis legalize carrying concealed weapons without permits. People have to get a license to drive a car… they also should be required to pass some kind of tests to own a gun.

 

Florida Republicans don’t care that a clear majority of Americans supports banning Assault Weapons. They’ve put their allegiance to the NRA above doing what the American people want. This is more proof that Republicans don’t believe in Democracy or representative government. Similar to Fascist Authoritarian Dictator Regimes, it’s about cramming what they want down their subjects throats.

 

Republicans are responsible for mass shootings and deaths since 2004 because President George W. Bush let the Assault Weapons Ban expire in 2004. Republicans have refused since then to allow it to be renewed.

The above graph shows how deaths by assault weapons exploded after REPUBLICAN Bush let the Assault Weapons Ban expire in 2004.

 

DeSantis who claims he’s a ‘Fighter who was Anointed By God’ has taken away rights and made Florida one of the most oppressed States in the U.S.

Steve Schmidt, a former GOP operative who has been critical of the far-right wing of the party, calls the ad “psychotic.” He writes that DeSantis,has clearly developed a God complex in Tallahassee. This Ron DeSantis ad is a cheap knock-off of the famous Paul Harvey meditation “So God Made a Farmer,” but this time, it is God who has sent the rest of us the pugilistic and cherubic Governor of Florida. It gives a window into a marriage dynamic that is interesting and disturbing. No one really knows what goes on in anyone else’s marriage, but we do know that in the DeSantis coupling there is a fair amount of idolatry around Ron Desantis. He is feeling flush with power and this ad reinforces, and is evidence of it”.

 

Video shows how DeSantis is fighting for corporations (like most Republicans) and to advance his own political career.

Per the description from YouTube: “Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is at the center of a major corporate corruption scandal. DeSantis has signed off on $5.7 billion in tax write-offs and giveaways to corporation, while raising taxes on working people by $1 billion. In return, he’s banked about $30 million from Wall Street and other corporate donors”

 

 

 

DESANTIS FLORIDA: WHERE FREEDOM GOES TO DIE!

  • Dystopian Laws Attacking Freedom of Speech to SILENCE & SUE Critics
  • Culture Wars and “Woke” BULLSHIT
  • Anti-choice Laws against Women’s Rights
  • Laws limiting what can be discussed in classrooms, such as the “Don’t say Gay” law. These laws doesn’t fix any existing problems, they’re a “Solution in Search of a Problem” and unnecessary BIG Government regulations & restrictions which makes teachers jobs more difficult.
  • Law mandating public colleges and universities survey students and faculty about their Political Beliefs (FL HB 233)
  • Teachers must withhold classroom library books until they can be individually reviewed for certification or face being charged with a third-degree felony if violated. (Bill 1467)
  • DeSantis Hostile Takeover of Liberal New College of Florida is following the playbook of Fascist Autocrat Dictator of Hungary Viktor Orban by taking control of Education
  • Indoctrinate Educators with Radical Right Wing Ideology. (Per news reports) Encouraged by DeSantis, Christian nationalist values and an “originalist” interpretation of the U.S. Constitution is now being taught in Florida Schools.
  • Florida HB 999 Republican plan to restrict the way history is taught at Florida’s colleges and universities is being condemned by academics & historians across the U.S. (Another example of Fascist, Authoritarian policies).
  • DeSantis has publicly called for putting cameras and microphones into classrooms to monitor teachers. He wants more surveillance in every part of our lives, empowering legislators to police classrooms, doctor’s offices, the workplace.
  • Voting Police to intimidate people so they’re afraid to vote in Florida
  • Florida Employees Threatened With Demotions If They Criticize DeSantis
  • Bill to eliminate the Democrat Party in the State of Florida, thereby creating One Party Rule similar to how Dictator Victor Orbán took over the once Democratic government in Hungary
  • Florida ‘Bloggers Bill’ which would require anyone who writes about Florida Republicans and DeSantis to register with the state and put on an ‘enemies list’. This is another BLATANT violation of the 1st Amendment and attempt to SILENCE critics. This is the same Anti-Democratic, Fascist Authoritarian tactic used by the Nazi German Propaganda Ministry in 1933 called the “Editors Law” and in 2014 by War Criminal Dictator Vladimir Putin, forcing bloggers in Russia to register with the Russian Media office.
  • Attacking Freedom of Speech – Bill HB 991 to significantly weaken libel laws. Critics believe this is an attempt to give Ron DeSantis even more power to sue his critics for saying things he doesn’t like. Bill 991 also gives Florida residents the right to sue others (both in the state or elsewhere in the U.S.) who describe their actions online as transphobic or homophobic, for $35,000 and would not allow the truth to be used in defenses against such lawsuits.
  • Retaliated against Disney for exercising their First Amendment Right to Freedom of Speech, stripping Disney of 50+ years self-governing authority after Disney stated opposition to the ‘Don’t say Gay’ law which limits discussing LGBTQ issues in schools.
  • Right Wing figures installed on the board of former Disney district. This is the same tactics used in Anti-Democratic Fascists Dictatorships
  • Retaliated against the Tampa Bay Rays for exercising their First Amendment Right to Freedom of Speech by blocking state money to their training facility after team tweeted against gun violence
  • Florida Police raided the home of former Covid-19 Scientist Rebekah Jones after her data contradicted DeSantis’ Covid Data claims.
  • Transgender athlete discrimination Laws
  • Florida Senate Bill 254 would allow the state to take Trans children receiving gender-affirming care away from Parents
  • Anti-Protesting Laws making protesting a felony & allowing protestors can be run over & killed with no consequences. This law was passed to silence and intimidate anyone who dare protest and raise objections to Republican’s oppression (similar to Russia and North Korea)
  • DeSantis wants his own State Militia which would only answer to him and “not be encumbered to the federal government.”
  • Felons Victimized by Republicans and DeSantis “Voter Fraud Crackdown”.  Per an article at commondreams.org, “Most who were arrested were approved by the Florida Department of Elections, which sent their voter registration cards ahead of the 2020 elections. All were charged with third-degree felony voter fraud, a crime punishable by as many as five years behind bars and up to a $5,000 fine. The ACLU of Florida stated, “The arrests are a grotesque abuse of power by Gov. DeSantis”.
  • Using Migrants as Props. Per an article at theguardian.com, “DeSantis should be prosecuted for his treatment of immigrants. Those conspiring with him appear to have acted criminally under Texas law. Title 5, section 20 of the Texas penal code defines the crime of unlawful restraint. Under the statute, a person is restrained if their movement is restricted without their consent by, among other means, moving the person from one place to another. Restraint is without consent “if it is accompanied … by deception”. Under the statute, the violation is a class A misdemeanor, unless the person restrained is younger than 17, in which case it is a felony. According to reporting, there were children among those criminally transported to Martha’s Vineyard”.
  • DeSantis fought for and was given the authority to redraw Congressional districts to rig elections in Republican’s favor. This resulted in House Seats being stolen from Democrats. Another example of how Republicans know they can’t win elections unless they CHEAT because their policies are UNPOPULAR.

 

 

‘Free to do as you are told’: Florida Republicans advance wave of draconian bills

Proposals banning abortion, discussions of sexuality, and white racial ‘discomfort’ aim to establish Florida as capital of Trumpistan

Per the above article: ‘Free to do as you are told’: Florida Republicans advance wave of draconian bills

“Proposals banning abortion, discussions of sexuality, and white racial ‘discomfort’ aim to establish Florida as capital of Trumpistan. A slew of bills has advanced attacking everything from diversity rights, abortion protections and free speech in schools, in addition to a proposal that would legally shield white people from feeling “discomfort” over the state’s racist past.

And last Wednesday, an anti-masker physician, hand picked by the governor and apathetic about the value of Covid-19 vaccines, was backed unanimously by a Republican senate panel as the next surgeon-general following a walk-out by Democratic politicians frustrated by Joseph Ladapo’s evasiveness.

Yet as the possible 2024 presidential candidate presses ahead with turning Florida into what critics see as his own conservative fiefdom – a de facto Trumpistan of the south with an “Orwellian-sounding” election police force – DeSantis is finding opposition beginning to harden.

More of the state’s 21 million people, which elected him in 2018 by barely 32,000 votes, appears displeased at the creeping authoritarianism. “People do not like the authoritarian nature of this governor and the way that he has weaponized fear between his constituents to try to curry favor with his base,” said Brandon Wolf, development manager and spokesperson for Equality Florida.

“And I think you’re going to see that show up at the polls. I know people get concerned that maybe Florida is gone forever. But let me tell you we fully intend to mobilize and show up for our communities in the election cycle.”

Trump Hush Money to Stormy Daniels Campaign Finance Violation

The above video explains how personal attorney / fixer Michael Cohen paid “hush money” to porn star Stormy Daniels days before the 2016 Presidential Election on Trump’s behalf which NY prosecutors claim is a Campaign Finance Violation.  Fixer Michael Cohen served over 1 year in prison for being a co-conspirator for this offense.

This has nothing to do with Politics. This is about violating Campaign Finance laws.

 

Trump could be indicted under New Your State Law for a hush money payment Cohen arranged to porn actress Stormy Daniels on Trump’s behalf days before the 2016 presidential election.

The New York hush-money probe of Donald Trump explained

More than six years after Donald Trump’s lawyer paid off a porn star, New York prosecutors appear to be close to deciding whether the former president should face charges in connection with that payoff.

Per the above article: “In the final weeks of the 2016 presidential election, Donald Trump’s lawyer tried to buy the silence of a porn actress who said she had a sexual encounter with the Republican during his days as a reality TV star. More than six years later, New York prosecutors appear to be close to deciding whether Trump should face charges in connection with that payoff, in what could become the first criminal case ever brought against a former president”.

The investigation centers on hush-money payments made in 2016 to two women who alleged that they had extramarital encounters with Trump, who has denied their accounts of his infidelity.

HOW WERE THE PAYMENTS MADE?

Cohen paid porn actress Stormy Daniels $130,000 through a shell company Cohen set up. He was then reimbursed by Trump, whose company logged the reimbursements as legal expenses.

Earlier in 2016, Cohen also arranged for former Playboy model Karen McDougal to be paid $150,000 by the publisher of the supermarket tabloid the National Enquirer, which squelched her story in a journalistically dubious practice known as “catch-and-kill.”

Trump’s company, the Trump Organization, “grossed up” Cohen’s reimbursement for the Daniels payment for “tax purposes,” according to federal prosecutors who filed criminal charges against the lawyer in connection with the payments in 2018″.

 

McCarthy & Jordan attempt to shut down NY DA Alvin Bragg’s criminal investigation of Donald Trump.

In a dramatic and transparent abuse of power, Representatives Kevin McCarthy, Jim Jordan and others attempt to interfere in New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s criminal investigation of Donald Trump. This represents a gross abuse of congressional power, a potential violation of the 10th Amendment (as this is NOT a power delegated to the federal government), and it may also constitute the crime of obstruction of justice. But we can expect more of this abuse of power by McCarthy and company if law enforcement authorities decline to hold McCarthy and Jordan accountable for these abuses.

People are FED UP with Republicans “WOKE” Bullshit!

All you hear out of Republicans these days is “WOKE” this and “WOKE” that because they don’t have ANY policies which help improve people’s lives. When DeSantis says “Florida is the place where woke goes to die”, it means he’s for anti-awareness, anti-knowledge and anti-truth. He wants systemic injustices UPHELD, he’s PRO-status quo and he’s against change in injustices.

People are FED UP with Republican’s “WOKE” and Culture Wars Bullshit!

Today’s Republicans are about TAKING AWAY people’s rights and forcing their OPPRESSIVE POLICIES down people’s throats. They belong in RUSSIA or NORTH KOREA.

 

Members of Ron DeSantis Staff admitted in court that “Wokeness” means activism against social injustice and injustices in the criminal justice system. Therefore when DeSantis says “Florida is the place where woke goes to die”, he means he wants systemic injustices UPHELD, he’s PRO-status quo, PRO-injustice and he’s against change in injustices.

In other words, Republicans “War on Woke” means “War on Freedom”.

DeSantis and Republicans wants everyone to stay “asleep” and do nothing to change injustice and the status quo. Those who speaks out against DeSantis and Florida Republicans, like Disney or the Tampa Bay Rays gets PUNISHED (as detailed in videos below). DeSantis also passed Anti-Protest laws to punish and criminalize protesting. This is classic anti-democratic authoritarian, fascist, dictator behavior.

 

In Andrew Warren suspension trial, Gov. DeSantis officials answer: What does ‘woke’ mean?

‘It’s a slang term for activism, progressive activism.’

Per the above article: “During the three-day trial this week challenging Gov. Ron DeSantis’ suspension of Hillsborough County State Attorney Andrew Warren, attorneys for Warren were able to put that question to aides for DeSantis, who called Florida the place where “woke goes to die” in his victory speech after being reelected last month.

Jean-Jacques Cabou, Warren’s attorney, noted DeSantis referred to Warren in his announcement of the suspension as a “woke ideologue” who “masqueraded” as a prosecutor. Then he asked some DeSantis officials what “woke” means to them.

Taryn Fenske, DeSantis’ Communications Director said “woke” was a “slang term for activism … progressive activism” and a general belief in systemic injustices in the country.

Ryan Newman, DeSantis’ General Counsel, echoed the part about systemic injustices, specifically regarding the criminal justice system.

“To me it means someone who believes that there are systemic injustices in the criminal justice system and on that basis they can decline to fully enforce and uphold the law,” Newman said.

Asked what “woke” means more generally, Newman said “it would be the belief there are systemic injustices in American society and the need to address them.”

Newman added that DeSantis doesn’t believe there are systemic injustices in the U.S. He also emphasized he believed Warren’s “wokeism” led him to sign the pledge not to prosecute abortion crimes, the primary factor that led to his suspension.

 

 

 

DeSantis’s Definition Of ‘Woke’ Doesn’t Work In His Favor

DeSantis fixation on ‘the woke’ has a poor track record as a political strategy in Florida

Rachel Maddow looks at the desperation of Ron DeSantis to convince Republican voters that his “war on woke” makes him worth their 2024 presidential primary vote, and looks back at another time in Florida politics when politicians waged a similar battle to their own political detriment.

 

DeSantis Complains That Republicans Can’t Define What “Woke” Means

During his interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper this week, DeSantis lamented the fact that most conservatives and people who rail against “wokeness” can’t actually define what that means. DeSantis said that HE can define it, and the proceeded to not define it, nor has he ever offered a clear definition of what it is. But “woke” is a great enemy for the Republican Party – a loosely-defined concept that can change to fit any narrative

 

As shown in this video, most Right Wingers Don’t have a Clue What “WOKE” means (because it’s a just stupid Right Wing grievance “catch phrase” / buzzword)

 

A USA TODAY/Ipsos Poll finds a majority of Americans are inclined to see the word as a positive attribute, not a negative one. Fifty-six percent of those surveyed say the term means “to be informed, educated on, and aware of social injustices.” That includes not only three-fourths of Democrats but also more than a third of Republicans”.

“Overall, 39% say instead that the word reflects what has become the GOP political definition, “to be overly politically correct and police others’ words.” That’s the view of 56% of Republicans. Independents, by 51%-45%, say “woke” means being aware of social injustice, not being overly politically correct. Most Americans understand that to be woke is to be tuned in to injustices around us,” said Cliff Young of Ipsos”.

“The findings raise questions about whether Republican campaign promises to ban policies at schools and workplaces they denounce as “woke” could boost a contender in the party’s primaries but put them at odds with broader public opinion in the general election”.  [source: usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2023/03/08/gop-war-woke-most-americans-see-term-positive-ipsos-poll/11417394002]

 

Why “Regressives” don’t want to say what ‘woke’ means

Judge Blocks DeSantis’ ‘Stop WOKE Act’ From Applying To Colleges

Court BLOCKS the Stop WOKE Act from being enforced in higher education.

The ACLU, the ACLU of Florida, the Legal Defense Fund, and Ballard Spahr filed a lawsuit against the unconstitutional Stop W.O.K.E. Act (HB 7) in August, which threatened Floridians’ First Amendment rights by censoring diverse viewpoints in our classrooms. This education censorship law is just the latest in the government’s attack on the First Amendment in classrooms. It also violates the Fourteenth Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause as Black educators, students, and historical events are disproportionately targeted by this law.

In its ruling, the court did not mince words, calling this shameful legislation “positively dystopian.”

“The law officially bans professors from expressing disfavored viewpoints in university classrooms while permitting unfettered expression of the opposite viewpoints. Defendants argue that, under this Act, professors enjoy ‘academic freedom’ so long as they express only those viewpoints of which the State approves. This is positively dystopian. It should go without saying that ‘[i]f liberty means anything at all it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.’”

Florida is one of over a dozen states across the country that have passed laws aimed at censoring discussions around race and gender in the classroom. This is a huge victory for everyone who values academic freedom and recognizes the value of inclusive education.

‘A Solution In Search Of A Problem’: DeSantis Goes After Disney’s Special Status

Fallout over Florida’s controversial new law that critics have called the ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill continues. This is another example of how Republicans focus on divisive social issues instead of governing and actually doing things to improve people’s lives.

 

Anti-Freedom Laws of Oppression are the hallmark Florida Republicans & Ron DeSantis’ Anti-Democratic Fascist Regime. Here’s examples;

  • Dystopian Laws Attacking Freedom of Speech to SILENCE & SUE Critics
  • Culture Wars and “Woke” BULLSHIT
  • Anti-choice Laws against Women’s Rights
  • Laws limiting what can be discussed in classrooms, such as the “Don’t say Gay” law. These laws doesn’t fix any existing problems, they’re a “Solution in Search of a Problem” and unnecessary BIG Government regulations & restrictions which makes teachers jobs more difficult.
  • Law mandating public colleges and universities survey students and faculty about their Political Beliefs (FL HB 233)
  • Teachers must withhold classroom library books until they can be individually reviewed for certification or face being charged with a third-degree felony if violated. (Bill 1467)
  • DeSantis Hostile Takeover of Liberal New College of Florida is following the playbook of Fascist Autocrat Dictator of Hungary Viktor Orban by taking control of Education
  • Indoctrinate Educators with Radical Right Wing Ideology. (Per news reports) Encouraged by DeSantis, Christian nationalist values and an “originalist” interpretation of the U.S. Constitution is now being taught in Florida Schools.
  • Florida HB 999 Republican plan to restrict the way history is taught at Florida’s colleges and universities is being condemned by academics & historians across the U.S. (Another example of Fascist, Authoritarian policies).
  • DeSantis has publicly called for putting cameras and microphones into classrooms to monitor teachers. He wants more surveillance in every part of our lives, empowering legislators to police classrooms, doctor’s offices, the workplace.
  • Voting Police to intimidate people so they’re afraid to vote in Florida
  • Florida Employees Threatened With Demotions If They Criticize DeSantis
  • Bill to eliminate the Democrat Party in the State of Florida, thereby creating One Party Rule similar to how Dictator Victor Orbán took over the once Democratic government in Hungary
  • Florida ‘Bloggers Bill’ which would require anyone who writes about Florida Republicans and DeSantis to register with the state and put on an ‘enemies list’. This is another BLATANT violation of the 1st Amendment and attempt to SILENCE critics. This is the same Anti-Democratic, Fascist Authoritarian tactic used by the Nazi German Propaganda Ministry in 1933 called the “Editors Law” and in 2014 by War Criminal Dictator Vladimir Putin, forcing bloggers in Russia to register with the Russian Media office.
  • Attacking Freedom of Speech – Bill HB 991 to significantly weaken libel laws. Critics believe this is an attempt to give Ron DeSantis even more power to sue his critics for saying things he doesn’t like. Bill 991 also gives Florida residents the right to sue others (both in the state or elsewhere in the U.S.) who describe their actions online as transphobic or homophobic, for $35,000 and would not allow the truth to be used in defenses against such lawsuits.
  • Retaliated against Disney for exercising their First Amendment Right to Freedom of Speech, stripping Disney of 50+ years self-governing authority after Disney stated opposition to the ‘Don’t say Gay’ law which limits discussing LGBTQ issues in schools.
  • Right Wing figures installed on the board of former Disney district. This is the same tactics used in Anti-Democratic Fascists Dictatorships
  • Retaliated against the Tampa Bay Rays for exercising their First Amendment Right to Freedom of Speech by blocking state money to their training facility after team tweeted against gun violence
  • Florida Police raided the home of former Covid-19 Scientist Rebekah Jones after her data contradicted DeSantis’ Covid Data claims.
  • Transgender athlete discrimination Laws
  • Florida Senate Bill 254 would allow the state to take Trans children receiving gender-affirming care away from Parents
  • Anti-Protesting Laws making protesting a felony & allowing protestors can be run over & killed with no consequences. This law was passed to silence and intimidate anyone who dare protest and raise objections to Republican’s oppression (similar to Russia and North Korea)
  • DeSantis wants his own State Militia which would only answer to him and “not be encumbered to the federal government.”
  • Felons Victimized by Republicans and DeSantis “Voter Fraud Crackdown”.  Per an article at commondreams.org, “Most who were arrested were approved by the Florida Department of Elections, which sent their voter registration cards ahead of the 2020 elections. All were charged with third-degree felony voter fraud, a crime punishable by as many as five years behind bars and up to a $5,000 fine. The ACLU of Florida stated, “The arrests are a grotesque abuse of power by Gov. DeSantis”.
  • Using Migrants as Props. Per an article at theguardian.com, “DeSantis should be prosecuted for his treatment of immigrants. Those conspiring with him appear to have acted criminally under Texas law. Title 5, section 20 of the Texas penal code defines the crime of unlawful restraint. Under the statute, a person is restrained if their movement is restricted without their consent by, among other means, moving the person from one place to another. Restraint is without consent “if it is accompanied … by deception”. Under the statute, the violation is a class A misdemeanor, unless the person restrained is younger than 17, in which case it is a felony. According to reporting, there were children among those criminally transported to Martha’s Vineyard”.
  • DeSantis fought for and was given the authority to redraw Congressional districts to rig elections in Republican’s favor. This resulted in House Seats being stolen from Democrats. Another example of how Republicans know they can’t win elections unless they CHEAT because their policies are UNPOPULAR.

Florida Blogger Bill Similar to Nazi Germany & Russian Laws

Florida Bill proposed which targets Bloggers who write about Florida Republicans and Governor DeSantis is similar to 1933 Nazi Germany’s “Editors Law” and forced registration with the Russian Media office in 2014 by War Criminal & Fascist Dictator of Russia, Vladimir Putin.

This Bill is a Unconstitutional Abuse of Power violation of the First Amendment Right to Freedom of Speech.

 

Florida bill would require bloggers who write about governor, legislators to register with the state

A Republican state senator in Florida has introduced a bill that, if passed, would require bloggers who write about Gov. Ron DeSantis, his cabinet or state legislators to register with the state.

Per the above article;  “Florida Sen. Jason Brodeur (R-Lake Mary) wants bloggers who write about Gov. Ron DeSantis, Attorney General Ashley Moody, and other members of the Florida executive cabinet or legislature to register with the state or face fines.

“The bill defines a blog as “a website or webpage that hosts any blogger and is frequently updated with opinion, commentary, or business content,” but it says the “term does not include the website of a newspaper or other similar publication. If a blogger posts to a blog about an elected state officer and receives, or will receive, compensation for that post, the blogger must register” with the appropriate office within five days of the post, the legislation says”.

It defines “elected state officer” as “the Governor, the Lieutenant Governor, a Cabinet officer, or any member of the Legislature.” Failing to register would result in a fine of $25 a day, and the penalty would be capped at $2,500 per posting, NBC affiliate WFLA of Tampa reported.

Brodeur stated to the publication, Florida Politics: “Paid bloggers are lobbyists who write instead of talk. They both are professional electioneers. If lobbyists have to register and report, why shouldn’t paid bloggers?”

Here’s my response to this BULLSHIT –

  • Like most blog sites, this site doesn’t receive ONE CENT in income. Most bloggers post articles out of sheer passion to express their opinions and expose wrong-doing
  • Real lobbyists are paid 10’s of thousands of dollars so Brodeur’s comparison is uninformed, asinine and ridiculous
  • This law is a clear violation of a bloggers’ Civil Rights and First Amendment Rights to Freedom of Speech. There will be multi-billion dollar lawsuits filed against the State of Florida and lot’s of BAD press using this as PROOF how Republicans are Anti-Freedom of speech, Anti-democratic FASCISTS if it’s passed.
  • Language in Brodeur’s bill is vague addressing whether bloggers who receive no income would be subject to this bill.
  • The bill doesn’t make it made clear if this law would retroactively apply to existing posts or only new ones.
  • The bill doesn’t make it made clear if this law would apply to blogs located only in Florida or throughout the United States
  • This law would be difficult to enforce. Almost all website owners’ data is hidden (and that’s perfectly legal). Therefore, there’s almost no way Florida officials could tell which blogs are in Florida and which are out of state. Attempts to enforce this law would likely result in harassment of website owners and the response will be lawsuits, more public outrage and more bad press for DeSantis and Florida Republicans.
  • Most bloggers will not register with the state of Florida so they can be placed on a “enemies list” and harassed. DeSantis has proven, he’s an out-of-control Wannabe Hitler Dictator with a Napoleonic Complex who retaliates against anyone who criticizes him. (e.g. Retaliation against Disney, Tampa Bay Rays, Berating Students for wearing masks & Florida Police raiding the home of former Covid-19 Scientist Rebekah Jones after her data contradicted DeSantis’ Covid Data).

This bill violates every principle of Republican “limited government” policies. It reinforces the public perception that Florida Republicans are Anti-Democratic Authoritarian Fascists who are taking away people’s freedom and attempting to use BIG GOVERNMENT to micro-manage and legislate every aspect of people’s lives.

Ron Kuby, a First Amendment lawyer in New York, said the law would not survive a court challenge if it is passed. “It’s hard to imagine a proposal that would be more violative of the First Amendment,” Kuby said. “We don’t register journalists. People who write cannot be forced to register”

Florida Republicans, ARROGANT and DRUNK with power, believe they can pass Unconstitutional Laws with impunity. Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich who was indicted on corruption charges in 2009, proves that State Officials CAN be held accountable and arrested for Abuse of Power.

Complaints WILL be filed to the Attorney General of United States Department of Justice and President Biden for Abuse of Power against Florida Republicans if this unconstitutional law is passed.

“After paying InfoWars blogger $37K, Florida Rep. Jason Brodeur files bill requiring bloggers to register with state”. It appear Brodeu’s motivation for creating this bill was retribution against bloggers as detailed in the article above.

 

Florida’s Dangerous Anti-Blogger Bill Is Blatantly Unconstitutional

Contrary to what Gov. Ron DeSantis might believe, the Constitution still applies in Florida.

Per the above article: “Contrary to what Ron DeSantis might believe, the Constitution still applies in Florida. It’s hard to think of any legislation that’s more in violation of the First Amendment than this bill from the governor’s allies. That said, it’s not surprising that the same politicians who favor banning books from public schools and libraries and removing any mention of slavery and racial injustice from courses at state universities would want to further restrict free speech and press freedom in this way.

“This draconian legislation attacking the rights of journalists and other media makers represents a frightening new strain of authoritarianism in the United States. Whether it’s Texas legislation that would ban internet providers from connecting to websites offering abortion information or moves to take away people’s right to protest in Georgia, efforts to undermine our constitutional freedoms are finding a foothold in GOP-controlled states across the country.

“When people believe their voices aren’t being heard in mainstream forums and their rights aren’t being upheld by politicians they often take to alternative means — including blogging — to express their opinions and be heard. The Florida legislation and other bills like it are clearly designed to silence these dissenting voices and those of others who aren’t represented in more traditional political arenas.

“Florida’s anti-blogger bill is part of a larger culture war that’s driven by disinformation and intent on dividing our country and silencing the opinions of people without power. This dangerous legislation should be deep-sixed long before it ever reaches a courtroom. Bills like this are blatantly unconstitutional, deeply un-American and completely unjust. We have to fight such horrible bills and call out the politicians pushing them, who seek to entrench the views and prejudices of a privileged few while stripping away the rights of everyone else.”

Video shows how Democracy is DESTROYED by Power Hungry Wanna-Be Dictators

 

October 04, 1933 – German Propaganda Ministry Editors Law

The German Propaganda Ministry (through its Reich Press Chamber) assumed control over the Reich Association of the German Press, the guild which regulated entry into the profession. Under the new Editors Law, the association kept registries of “racially pure” editors and journalists, and excluded Jews and those married to Jews from the profession. Propaganda Ministry officials expected editors and journalists, who had to register with the Reich Press Chamber to work in the field, to follow mandates and specific instructions handed down by the ministry. In paragraph 14 of the law, the regime required editors to omit from publication anything “calculated to weaken the strength of the Reich abroad or at home.” [source: encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/timeline-event/holocaust/1933-1938/editors-law]

More proof Florida Republicans following in the footsteps of German and Russian FASCISTS and are DESTROYING Democracy in the United States.

Any attempt to harass or silence this site would be a violation of the site owner’s CIVIL RIGHTS and 1ST AMENDMENT RIGHTS and will be reported to the United States Department of Justice, exposed on Social Media, Billboards and reported to worldwide news media outlets. If Bill 1316 is signed into law and blog owners are harassed, a Multi-Billion Dollar CLASS ACTION Lawsuit will be filed against the State of Florida on behalf of ALL blog owners affected by Bill 1316.

 

Russian Lawmakers Pass Bill to Outlaw Insulting the State

Critics worry that the state will use the laws to silence critics in the country, which already has severely restricted free speech freedoms.

Per the article above: “Russian Lawmakers Pass Bill to Outlaw Insulting the State” is similar to how DeSantis and Florida Republicans want to silence critics. This is STILL the United States of America and NOT Russia (as it appears some RINO FASCIST Republicans wishes it would be).

 

Dictator Alexander Lukashenko used his warplanes to force a sovereign country’s plane, (Ryanair flight from Greece to Lithuania) to land in Minsk to ARREST Blogger / Journalist Roman Protasevich for writing articles critical of Belarus’s Brutal Dictator. This where Florida and the United States is headed unless these Anti-Democratic Fascist, Authoritarian, Radical Right Wing Republican BASTARDS are voted out and removed from office.

 

Is Florida’s blogger registration bill inspired by Viktor Orbán?

It wouldn’t be the first time Orbán’s authoritarian regime gave Florida Republicans some ideas.

Per the article above: Florida’s blogger registration bill is curiously similar to a section of a Hungarian law that requires media organizations to register with the government. The law, which was passed at the start of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s tenure in 2010, initially required news outlets to register before beginning to publish. (After blowback from the European Union and press freedom groups, it was amended in 2011 so that media organizations have to register within 60 days of starting up.) Could it be a basis for the proposed Florida law?

It wouldn’t be the first time Florida looked to Hungary. Orbán’s authoritarian government is in vogue on the American right and its illiberalism has already served as a template for Gov. Ron DeSantis and fellow Florida Republicans. The state’s so-called “Don’t Say Gay Law” was reportedly modeled in part on similar Hungarian legislation. And Rod Dreher, a right-wing figure who lives in Budapest, explained during an interview last year that a reporter told him they had “talked to the press secretary of Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida and she said, ‘Oh yeah, we were watching the Hungarians, so yay Hungary.’”

There are also parallels between Orbán and DeSantis’ efforts to push universities to the right. In 2018, for example, Orbán banned gender studies programs at universities. Last week, Florida Rep. Alex Andrade, a DeSantis ally, introduced a bill that would bar public universities from offering the major. Steve Bannon has called Orbán “one of the great moral leaders in this world.”

FIRE, an organization that has positioned itself as a more conservative-friendly alternative to the ACLU, called the bill an “affront to the First Amendment and our national commitment to freedom of the press.”

Florida Republican Proposes Bill To Make It Easier For Ron DeSantis To Sue His Critics

A Republican Representative in the Florida statehouse has put forth legislation that would significantly weaken libel laws, and critics believe this is an attempt to give Ron DeSantis even more power to sue his critics for saying things he doesn’t like. Legal scholars have trashed the bill, pointing out that a state cannot legally have different thresholds than federal legislation, making this bill all the more confusing.

Those accused of discrimination would have new protections under Florida bill

A bill proposed by a Republican lawmaker would change the meaning of “defamation per se.”

 

Florida Republicans PROVE they’re Anti-Democratic FASCISTS by introducing a bill to eliminate the Democrat Party, thereby creating ONE PARTY RULE similar to how DICTATOR Victor Orbán took over the once Democratic government in Hungary (more about this in detail below).

INCREDIBLE how Florida Republican Senator Blaise Ingoglia, who introduced the bill to ‘Cancel’ the Democratic party uses the ridiculous excuse of ‘Slavery’ when his party does everything possible to keep minorities from voting (details can be found in videos on this site).

Per the above article: “Ingoglia suggested in a news release that his bill was designed to get back at Democrats and ‘leftist activists’ who he said had ‘been trying to ‘cancel’ people and companies for things they have said or done in the past,’ including ‘the removal of statues and memorials, and the renaming of buildings.’

Florida’s Democratic Party responded to the proposed measure in a statement saying, “Presenting a bill that would disenfranchise 5 million voters is both unconstitutional and unserious. Under Ron DeSantis, Senator Ingoglia is using his office to push bills that are nothing more than publicity stunts instead of focusing on the issues that matter most to Floridians.”

Although deemed “unserious” by the Florida Democrats, many Twitter users are unamused by the proposed legislation.

@Longjacket2: “people this is not a test – this is full blow Fascist WTF crazy! ‘Sen. Ingoglia is backing a bill in FL he calls the ‘Ultimate Cancel Act,’ ~ ban any political party that once included slavery in their platforms from running in the state, including the FL Democratic Party.”

DeSantis has been focused on introducing legislation specifically aimed at explicit and “woke” materials in schools. His efforts have earned major pushback as critics argue new strict guidelines can be used to target LGBTQ and Black history-related content.

How To Dismantle A Democracy

If you’re curious about why Tucker Carlson is doing his show from Budapest, Hungary all week, so is Mehdi. Especially given that country’s recent history of doing away with democracy and rise of autocracy. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has become a favorite among Trump-loving ethno-nationalists.

“Dictators Playbook”

 

Per an article published by the Washington Post, “Anonymous criticism helped make America great” at washingtonpost.com/outlook/2018/09/08/anonymous-criticism-helped-make-america-great/

“Anonymous publication has been an essential feature of American democracy since its beginning. It has long allowed vulnerable voices to participate in public politics and speak truth to power. Indeed, anonymous debate was at the center of the revolutionary politics that led to American independence, the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights, which enshrined the press freedoms that continue to protect anonymous speech today”.

“In the late 18th century, pseudonyms and anonymous sources filled the pages of newspapers. In fact, some of the most prominent Founding Fathers regularly used the shield of pseudonyms in political essays during the era of the American Revolution: Thomas Paine, John Dickinson, Alexander Hamilton, Arthur Lee, John Jay, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. Influential texts such as “Common Sense,” the Federalist essays and the “Letters from a Farmer in Pennsylvania” essays were all published without an author’s byline”.

“Nikki Fried, the newly elected chairwoman of the Florida Democratic Party, blamed Gov.

Fried also criticized what she called the “radical Republican Party” for opposing freedom of speech and the freedom to organize.

Republican Ron DeSantis ‘God made a fighter’ who was ‘Anointed By God’ is Christian Nationalism Fascist Propaganda

DeSantis who claims he’s made Florida “one of the Freest States in American”, has taken away rights and made it one of the most oppressed. Floridians re-electing DeSantis has helped reinforce his grandiose delusions.

 

DESANTIS & REPUBLICANS HAVE MADE FLORIDA THE MOST OPPRESSED, ANTI-DEMOCRATIC STATE

  • Dystopian Laws Attacking Freedom of Speech to SILENCE & SUE Critics
  • Culture Wars and “Woke” BULLSHIT
  • Anti-choice Laws against Women’s Rights
  • Laws limiting what can be discussed in classrooms, such as the “Don’t say Gay” law. These laws doesn’t fix any existing problems, they’re a “Solution in Search of a Problem” and unnecessary BIG Government regulations & restrictions which makes teachers jobs more difficult.
  • Law mandating public colleges and universities survey students and faculty about their Political Beliefs (FL HB 233)
  • Teachers must withhold classroom library books until they can be individually reviewed for certification or face being charged with a third-degree felony if violated. (Bill 1467)
  • DeSantis Hostile Takeover of Liberal New College of Florida is following the playbook of Fascist Autocrat Dictator of Hungary Viktor Orban by taking control of Education
  • Indoctrinate Educators with Radical Right Wing Ideology. (Per news reports) Encouraged by DeSantis, Christian nationalist values and an “originalist” interpretation of the U.S. Constitution is now being taught in Florida Schools.
  • Florida HB 999 Republican plan to restrict the way history is taught at Florida’s colleges and universities is being condemned by academics & historians across the U.S. (Another example of Fascist, Authoritarian policies).
  • DeSantis has publicly called for putting cameras and microphones into classrooms to monitor teachers. He wants more surveillance in every part of our lives, empowering legislators to police classrooms, doctor’s offices, the workplace.
  • Voting Police to intimidate people so they’re afraid to vote in Florida
  • Florida Employees Threatened With Demotions If They Criticize DeSantis
  • Bill to eliminate the Democrat Party in the State of Florida, thereby creating One Party Rule similar to how Dictator Victor Orbán took over the once Democratic government in Hungary
  • Florida ‘Bloggers Bill’ which would require anyone who writes about Florida Republicans and DeSantis to register with the state and put on an ‘enemies list’. This is another BLATANT violation of the 1st Amendment and attempt to SILENCE critics. This is the same Anti-Democratic, Fascist Authoritarian tactic used by the Nazi German Propaganda Ministry in 1933 called the “Editors Law” and in 2014 by War Criminal Dictator Vladimir Putin, forcing bloggers in Russia to register with the Russian Media office.
  • Attacking Freedom of Speech – Bill HB 991 to significantly weaken libel laws. Critics believe this is an attempt to give Ron DeSantis even more power to sue his critics for saying things he doesn’t like. Bill 991 also gives Florida residents the right to sue others (both in the state or elsewhere in the U.S.) who describe their actions online as transphobic or homophobic, for $35,000 and would not allow the truth to be used in defenses against such lawsuits.
  • Retaliated against Disney for exercising their First Amendment Right to Freedom of Speech, stripping Disney of 50+ years self-governing authority after Disney stated opposition to the ‘Don’t say Gay’ law which limits discussing LGBTQ issues in schools.
  • Right Wing figures installed on the board of former Disney district. This is the same tactics used in Anti-Democratic Fascists Dictatorships
  • Retaliated against the Tampa Bay Rays for exercising their First Amendment Right to Freedom of Speech by blocking state money to their training facility after team tweeted against gun violence
  • Florida Police raided the home of former Covid-19 Scientist Rebekah Jones after her data contradicted DeSantis’ Covid Data claims.
  • Transgender athlete discrimination Laws
  • Florida Senate Bill 254 would allow the state to take Trans children receiving gender-affirming care away from Parents
  • Anti-Protesting Laws making protesting a felony & allowing protestors can be run over & killed with no consequences. This law was passed to silence and intimidate anyone who dare protest and raise objections to Republican’s oppression (similar to Russia and North Korea)
  • DeSantis wants his own State Militia which would only answer to him and “not be encumbered to the federal government.”
  • Felons Victimized by Republicans and DeSantis “Voter Fraud Crackdown”.  Per an article at commondreams.org, “Most who were arrested were approved by the Florida Department of Elections, which sent their voter registration cards ahead of the 2020 elections. All were charged with third-degree felony voter fraud, a crime punishable by as many as five years behind bars and up to a $5,000 fine. The ACLU of Florida stated, “The arrests are a grotesque abuse of power by Gov. DeSantis”.
  • Using Migrants as Props. Per an article at theguardian.com, “DeSantis should be prosecuted for his treatment of immigrants. Those conspiring with him appear to have acted criminally under Texas law. Title 5, section 20 of the Texas penal code defines the crime of unlawful restraint. Under the statute, a person is restrained if their movement is restricted without their consent by, among other means, moving the person from one place to another. Restraint is without consent “if it is accompanied … by deception”. Under the statute, the violation is a class A misdemeanor, unless the person restrained is younger than 17, in which case it is a felony. According to reporting, there were children among those criminally transported to Martha’s Vineyard”.
  • DeSantis fought for and was given the authority to redraw Congressional districts to rig elections in Republican’s favor. This resulted in House Seats being stolen from Democrats. Another example of how Republicans know they can’t win elections unless they CHEAT because their policies are UNPOPULAR.

 

Florida Blogger Bill Similar to Nazi Germany & Russian Laws

Florida Bill proposed which targets Bloggers who write about Florida Republicans and Governor DeSantis is similar to 1933 Nazi Germany’s “Editors Law” and forced registration with the Russian Media office in 2014 by War Criminal & Fascist Dictator of Russia, Vladimir Putin.

This Bill is a Unconstitutional Abuse of Power violation of the First Amendment Right to Freedom of Speech.

 

Florida bill would require bloggers who write about governor, legislators to register with the state

A Republican state senator in Florida has introduced a bill that, if passed, would require bloggers who write about Gov. Ron DeSantis, his cabinet or state legislators to register with the state.

Per the above article; “Florida Sen. Jason Brodeur (R-Lake Mary) wants bloggers who write about Gov. Ron DeSantis, Attorney General Ashley Moody, and other members of the Florida executive cabinet or legislature to register with the state or face fines.

“The bill defines a blog as “a website or webpage that hosts any blogger and is frequently updated with opinion, commentary, or business content,” but it says the “term does not include the website of a newspaper or other similar publication. If a blogger posts to a blog about an elected state officer and receives, or will receive, compensation for that post, the blogger must register” with the appropriate office within five days of the post, the legislation says”.

It defines “elected state officer” as “the Governor, the Lieutenant Governor, a Cabinet officer, or any member of the Legislature.” Failing to register would result in a fine of $25 a day, and the penalty would be capped at $2,500 per posting, NBC affiliate WFLA of Tampa reported.

Brodeur stated to the publication, Florida Politics: “Paid bloggers are lobbyists who write instead of talk. They both are professional electioneers. If lobbyists have to register and report, why shouldn’t paid bloggers?”

Here’s my response to this BULLSHIT –

  • Like most blog sites, this site doesn’t receive ONE CENT in income. Most bloggers post articles out of sheer passion to express their opinions and expose wrong-doing
  • Real lobbyists are paid 10’s of thousands of dollars so Brodeur’s comparison is uninformed, asinine and ridiculous
  • This law is a clear violation of a bloggers’ Civil Rights and First Amendment Rights to Freedom of Speech. There will be multi-billion dollar lawsuits filed against the State of Florida and lot’s of BAD press using this as PROOF how Republicans are Anti-Freedom of speech, Anti-democratic FASCISTS if it’s passed.
  • Language in Brodeur’s bill is vague addressing whether bloggers who receive no income would be subject to this bill.
  • The bill doesn’t make it made clear if this law would retroactively apply to existing posts or only new ones.
  • The bill doesn’t make it made clear if this law would apply to blogs located only in Florida or throughout the United States
  • This law would be difficult to enforce. Almost all website owners’ data is hidden (and that’s perfectly legal). Therefore, there’s almost no way Florida officials could tell which blogs are in Florida and which are out of state. Attempts to enforce this law would likely result in harassment of website owners and the response will be lawsuits, more public outrage and more bad press for DeSantis and Florida Republicans.
  • Most bloggers will not register with the state of Florida so they can be placed on a “enemies list” and harassed. DeSantis has proven, he’s an out-of-control Wannabe Hitler Dictator with a Napoleonic Complex who retaliates against anyone who criticizes him. (e.g. Retaliation against Disney, Tampa Bay Rays, Berating Students for wearing masks & Florida Police raiding the home of former Covid-19 Scientist Rebekah Jones after her data contradicted DeSantis’ Covid Data).

This bill violates every principle of Republican “limited government” policies. It reinforces the public perception that Florida Republicans are Anti-Democratic Authoritarian Fascists who are taking away people’s freedom and attempting to use BIG GOVERNMENT to micro-manage and legislate every aspect of people’s lives.

Ron Kuby, a First Amendment lawyer in New York, said the law would not survive a court challenge if it is passed. “It’s hard to imagine a proposal that would be more violative of the First Amendment,” Kuby said. “We don’t register journalists. People who write cannot be forced to register”

Florida Republicans, ARROGANT and DRUNK with power, believe they can pass Unconstitutional Laws with impunity. Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich who was indicted on corruption charges in 2009, proves that State Officials CAN be held accountable and arrested for Abuse of Power.

Complaints WILL be filed to the Attorney General of United States Department of Justice and President Biden for Abuse of Power against Florida Republicans if this unconstitutional law is passed.

“After paying InfoWars blogger $37K, Florida Rep. Jason Brodeur files bill requiring bloggers to register with state”. It appear Brodeu’s motivation for creating this bill was retribution against bloggers as detailed in the article above.

 

Florida’s Dangerous Anti-Blogger Bill Is Blatantly Unconstitutional

Contrary to what Gov. Ron DeSantis might believe, the Constitution still applies in Florida.

Per the above article: “Contrary to what Ron DeSantis might believe, the Constitution still applies in Florida. It’s hard to think of any legislation that’s more in violation of the First Amendment than this bill from the governor’s allies. That said, it’s not surprising that the same politicians who favor banning books from public schools and libraries and removing any mention of slavery and racial injustice from courses at state universities would want to further restrict free speech and press freedom in this way.

“This draconian legislation attacking the rights of journalists and other media makers represents a frightening new strain of authoritarianism in the United States. Whether it’s Texas legislation that would ban internet providers from connecting to websites offering abortion information or moves to take away people’s right to protest in Georgia, efforts to undermine our constitutional freedoms are finding a foothold in GOP-controlled states across the country.

“When people believe their voices aren’t being heard in mainstream forums and their rights aren’t being upheld by politicians they often take to alternative means — including blogging — to express their opinions and be heard. The Florida legislation and other bills like it are clearly designed to silence these dissenting voices and those of others who aren’t represented in more traditional political arenas.

“Florida’s anti-blogger bill is part of a larger culture war that’s driven by disinformation and intent on dividing our country and silencing the opinions of people without power. This dangerous legislation should be deep-sixed long before it ever reaches a courtroom. Bills like this are blatantly unconstitutional, deeply un-American and completely unjust. We have to fight such horrible bills and call out the politicians pushing them, who seek to entrench the views and prejudices of a privileged few while stripping away the rights of everyone else.”

 

Florida to CREATE REGISTRY of Bloggers Who Criticize Ron DeSantis!

Jesse talks about an insanely fascistic bill being proposed in Florida, requiring bloggers (who criticize the Governor, the Lieutenant Governor, a Cabinet officer, or any member of the Legislature) to register with the government. This is a clear and flagrant violation of the 1st Amendment and a dangerous departure from liberal democracy!

 

Florida Moves One Step Closer to Full Fascism

Florida Republican Jason Brodeur wants any blogger who write about Ron DeSantis to register with the state.

 

Florida Republicans Get Closer To Making It ILLEGAL To Criticize Ron DeSantis

A Republican lawmaker in Florida has introduced legislation that would require any “blogger” that publishes a story about Governor DeSantis or any member of his administration or the state legislature to register with the state. The writer would have to file monthly reports of what they wrote, who published it, and who paid them. This is a step in the direction of making it illegal to criticize the state’s government, as Farron Cousins explains.

 

RED ALERT: Florida Republicans want to force bloggers to “register” with the state

 

DeSantis’ Putin tactics with crackdown on media

A controversial new proposal in Ron DeSantis’s Florida would require bloggers who write about DeSantis or other state government officials to register with the state and disclose who’s paying them and how much. Critics say it’s all part of a larger DeSantis crusade against free speech and the press and even comparing it to a Putin law.

 

 

Russian Lawmakers Pass Bill to Outlaw Insulting the State

Critics worry that the state will use the laws to silence critics in the country, which already has severely restricted free speech freedoms.

Per the article above: “Russian Lawmakers Pass Bill to Outlaw Insulting the State” is similar to how DeSantis and Florida Republicans want to silence critics by making it easier to SUE them.

 

Similar to Florida Employees being threatened if they criticize Republican Ron DeSantis or tell the truth about Climate Change when Republican Rick Scott was Governor, during the invasion of Ukraine, Russia passed a law which would put people in prison for up to 15 years for criticizing Putin and Russia’s policies.

Democrats has never engaged in these type of restrictions or violations of Freedom of Speech. This commonality is found in oppressive RIGHT WING governments. It’s easy to see that Republicans are headed in this direction and would not hesitate to be just as extreme if given the opportunity.

Florida Republicans PUNISH Disney for Exercising 1st Amendment Right to Freedom of Speech by criticizing Florida Republican’s “Don’t say Gay” law

When Disney’s chief executive Bob Chapek exercised his First Amendment Right to Freedom of Speech by criticizing the “Don’t say Gay” law, DeSantis and Florida Republicans RETALIATED by revoking Disney World’s designation as a special tax district which allowed Disney to self-govern the 25,000-acre resort since its founding. Using the Government to Punish people who speaks out against Government policies is Anti-Democratic, Authoritarian FASCISM

 

A Solution In Search Of A Problem’: DeSantis Goes After Disney’s Special Status

Fallout over Florida’s controversial new law that critics have called the ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill continues. This is another example of how Republicans focus on divisive social issues instead of governing and actually doing things to improve people’s lives.

Republicans “Don’t say Gay” law is ‘A Solution In Search Of A Problem’ which doesn’t exist. It’s more Republican Authoritarian, Fascist BIG GOVERNMENT legislation to enslave and regulate every aspect of people’s lives.

43% of Republicans think President Trump “should have the authority to close news outlets engaged in bad behavior,” while only 36% disagreed with the statement, according to an Ipsos poll

 

Trump Supporters Are Excited By The Idea Of Him Being A Dictator

Donald Trump did exactly what most of us expected, and he actually convinced his base that he SHOULD be a dictator if he gets back into office, and that it is somehow a good thing to trample on the Constitution. Ever since Trump first made his dictator comments, his supporters have been quick to defend and ultimately offer their praise of the comments, and that part isn’t dying down, either. A new poll also shows that a strong number of Iowa voters say that his rhetoric makes it MORE likely that they will support him.

 

Expert Compares Trump’s Politics to Fascism

Yale philosophy professor Jason Stanley explains why he claims President Donald Trump’s politics are akin to fascism, a political movement based around a leader. 80+% of Republicans approve of Trump, even after he has LIED more than any other Politician in history (fact checkers claim over 30,000 false or misleading statements since becoming president).

Inside Hungary’s far-right movement

The radical narratives mounted by Hungary’s ruling Fidesz Party and far-right movements are gaining ground ahead of next year’s parliamentary elections. Euronews reporter Valerie Gauriat traveled to Hungary for the national Republic Day to hear from supporters and critics of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s hardline stance on immigration—and what it means to be Hungarian.

 

How To Dismantle A Democracy

If you’re curious about why Tucker Carlson is doing his show from Budapest, Hungary all week, so is Mehdi. Especially given that country’s recent history of doing away with democracy and rise of autocracy. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has become a favorite among Trump-loving ethno-nationalists. Yale’s Jason Stanley and authoritarian expert Ruth Ben-Ghiat break down why Orbán — and the fascination with Orbán — is so dangerous.

 

Republicans fit all of the Characteristics of Fascism described below

Fourteen Characteristics of Fascism Article by Dr. Lawrence Britt

1. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights – Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of “need.” The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc.

2. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause – The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial , ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc.

3. Supremacy of the Military – Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.

4. Rampant Sexism – The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Divorce, abortion and homosexuality are suppressed and the state is represented as the ultimate guardian of the family institution.

5. Controlled Mass Media – Sometimes to media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common.

6. Obsession with National Security – Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses.

7. Religion and Government are Intertwined – Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government’s policies or actions.

8. Corporate Power is Protected – The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite.

9. Labor Power is Suppressed – Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed.

10. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts – Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts and letters is openly attacked.

11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment – Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations.

12. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption – Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders.

13. Manipulate & Control elections – Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate & control elections.

14. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism – Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.

 

REPUBLICANS ARE LIKE ISLAMIC TERRORISTS

 

Republicans ARE America’s TALIBAN

Radical Right Wing, Trump Supporting Republicans can be easily spotted in Pick-up Trucks with flags (similar to Islamic Terrorist in pick-up trucks with flags).

 

Here’s a few of the behaviors and ideologies Republicans, The Taliban and Islamic ISIS Terrorist have in common;

  1. Bullies
  2. Religious extremists (such as Christian Evangelists)
  3. Extremists who resort to Violence to get their way (January 6, 2021 riots to overturn legitimate election which their leader, Trump lost)
  4. Right-wing Anti-democratic Fascist (most Republicans condone eliminating a free press and democracy)
  5. Suppress Women’s Rights (anti-abortion laws)
  6. Extreme Patriotism with tons of flags

Florida Republicans Attacking Freedom of Speech & 1st Amendment Rights

Florida Republicans are attacking Freedom of Speech and First Amendment Rights with laws making it easier to Sue Journalist, Social Media, Bloggers, Banning Books and dictating what can be discussed in classrooms.

 

 

DESANTIS FLORIDA: WHERE FREEDOM GOES TO DIE!

  • Dystopian Laws Attacking Freedom of Speech to SILENCE & SUE Critics
  • Culture Wars and “Woke” BULLSHIT
  • Anti-choice Laws against Women’s Rights
  • Laws limiting what can be discussed in classrooms, such as the “Don’t say Gay” law. These laws doesn’t fix any existing problems, they’re a “Solution in Search of a Problem” and unnecessary BIG Government regulations & restrictions which makes teachers jobs more difficult.
  • Law mandating public colleges and universities survey students and faculty about their Political Beliefs (FL HB 233)
  • Teachers must withhold classroom library books until they can be individually reviewed for certification or face being charged with a third-degree felony if violated. (Bill 1467)
  • DeSantis Hostile Takeover of Liberal New College of Florida is following the playbook of Fascist Autocrat Dictator of Hungary Viktor Orban by taking control of Education
  • Indoctrinate Educators with Radical Right Wing Ideology. (Per news reports) Encouraged by DeSantis, Christian nationalist values and an “originalist” interpretation of the U.S. Constitution is now being taught in Florida Schools.
  • Florida HB 999 Republican plan to restrict the way history is taught at Florida’s colleges and universities is being condemned by academics & historians across the U.S. (Another example of Fascist, Authoritarian policies).
  • DeSantis has publicly called for putting cameras and microphones into classrooms to monitor teachers. He wants more surveillance in every part of our lives, empowering legislators to police classrooms, doctor’s offices, the workplace.
  • Voting Police to intimidate people so they’re afraid to vote in Florida
  • Florida Employees Threatened With Demotions If They Criticize DeSantis
  • Bill to eliminate the Democrat Party in the State of Florida, thereby creating One Party Rule similar to how Dictator Victor Orbán took over the once Democratic government in Hungary
  • Florida ‘Bloggers Bill’ which would require anyone who writes about Florida Republicans and DeSantis to register with the state and put on an ‘enemies list’. This is another BLATANT violation of the 1st Amendment and attempt to SILENCE critics. This is the same Anti-Democratic, Fascist Authoritarian tactic used by the Nazi German Propaganda Ministry in 1933 called the “Editors Law” and in 2014 by War Criminal Dictator Vladimir Putin, forcing bloggers in Russia to register with the Russian Media office.
  • Attacking Freedom of Speech – Bill HB 991 to significantly weaken libel laws. Critics believe this is an attempt to give Ron DeSantis even more power to sue his critics for saying things he doesn’t like. Bill 991 also gives Florida residents the right to sue others (both in the state or elsewhere in the U.S.) who describe their actions online as transphobic or homophobic, for $35,000 and would not allow the truth to be used in defenses against such lawsuits.
  • Retaliated against Disney for exercising their First Amendment Right to Freedom of Speech, stripping Disney of 50+ years self-governing authority after Disney stated opposition to the ‘Don’t say Gay’ law which limits discussing LGBTQ issues in schools.
  • Right Wing figures installed on the board of former Disney district. This is the same tactics used in Anti-Democratic Fascists Dictatorships
  • Retaliated against the Tampa Bay Rays for exercising their First Amendment Right to Freedom of Speech by blocking state money to their training facility after team tweeted against gun violence
  • Florida Police raided the home of former Covid-19 Scientist Rebekah Jones after her data contradicted DeSantis’ Covid Data claims.
  • Transgender athlete discrimination Laws
  • Florida Senate Bill 254 would allow the state to take Trans children receiving gender-affirming care away from Parents
  • Anti-Protesting Laws making protesting a felony & allowing protestors can be run over & killed with no consequences. This law was passed to silence and intimidate anyone who dare protest and raise objections to Republican’s oppression (similar to Russia and North Korea)
  • DeSantis wants his own State Militia which would only answer to him and “not be encumbered to the federal government.”
  • Felons Victimized by Republicans and DeSantis “Voter Fraud Crackdown”.  Per an article at commondreams.org, “Most who were arrested were approved by the Florida Department of Elections, which sent their voter registration cards ahead of the 2020 elections. All were charged with third-degree felony voter fraud, a crime punishable by as many as five years behind bars and up to a $5,000 fine. The ACLU of Florida stated, “The arrests are a grotesque abuse of power by Gov. DeSantis”.
  • Using Migrants as Props. Per an article at theguardian.com, “DeSantis should be prosecuted for his treatment of immigrants. Those conspiring with him appear to have acted criminally under Texas law. Title 5, section 20 of the Texas penal code defines the crime of unlawful restraint. Under the statute, a person is restrained if their movement is restricted without their consent by, among other means, moving the person from one place to another. Restraint is without consent “if it is accompanied … by deception”. Under the statute, the violation is a class A misdemeanor, unless the person restrained is younger than 17, in which case it is a felony. According to reporting, there were children among those criminally transported to Martha’s Vineyard”.
  • DeSantis fought for and was given the authority to redraw Congressional districts to rig elections in Republican’s favor. This resulted in House Seats being stolen from Democrats. Another example of how Republicans know they can’t win elections unless they CHEAT because their policies are UNPOPULAR.

 

Florida Republican Proposes Bill To Make It Easier For Ron DeSantis To Sue His Critics

A Republican Representative in the Florida statehouse has put forth legislation that would significantly weaken libel laws, and critics believe this is an attempt to give Ron DeSantis even more power to sue his critics for saying things he doesn’t like. Legal scholars have trashed the bill, pointing out that a state cannot legally have different thresholds than federal legislation, making this bill all the more confusing.

 

A proposed Florida Bill which targets Bloggers who write about Florida Governor Ron DeSantis appears to be designed to SILENCE and PUNISH critics.

 

https://www.wfla.com/news/politics/florida-bill-would-require-bloggers-who-write-about-governor-to-register-with-the-state/

According to the above article; “Florida Sen. Jason Brodeur (R-Lake Mary) wants bloggers who write about Gov. Ron DeSantis, Attorney General Ashley Moody, and other members of the Florida executive cabinet or legislature to register with the state or face fines. Brodeur’s proposal, Senate Bill 1316: Information Dissemination, would require any blogger writing about government officials to register with the Florida Office of Legislative Services or the Commission on Ethics. In the bill, Brodeur wrote that those who write “an article, a story, or a series of stories,” about “the Governor, the Lieutenant Governor, a Cabinet officer, or any member of the Legislature,” and receives or will receive payment for doing so, must register with state offices within five days after the publication of an article that mentions an elected state official.

 

Florida bill would require bloggers who write about governor, legislators to register with the state

A Republican state senator in Florida has introduced a bill that, if passed, would require bloggers who write about Gov. Ron DeSantis, his cabinet or state legislators to register with the state.

Per the above article; “The bill defines a blog as “a website or webpage that hosts any blogger and is frequently updated with opinion, commentary, or business content,” but it says the “term does not include the website of a newspaper or other similar publication.” It also doesn’t say weather it applies only to FL or out of state owners So how can “no income” be verified without homes of blog owners being searched for financial records? DeSantis’s office said Friday it was reviewing the bill. “As usual, the governor will consider the merits of a bill in final form if and when it passes the legislature,” said his press secretary, Bryan Griffin.

“Brodeur did not respond to a request for comment late Thursday. He told the website Florida Politics, which first reported on the bill: “Paid bloggers are lobbyists who write instead of talk. They both are professional electioneers. If lobbyists have to register and report, why shouldn’t paid bloggers?” Ron Kuby, a First Amendment lawyer in New York, said the law would not survive a court challenge if it is passed. “It’s hard to imagine a proposal that would be more violative of the First Amendment,” Kuby said. “We don’t register journalists. People who write cannot be forced to register”

PAID BLOGGERS? I’ve never been paid to post an article and I don’t know any bloggers who are paid. Brodeur assuming blogs which are critical of Republicans receives payment shows he’s either a moron or is attempting to intimidate and shut down critics.

 

October 04, 1933 – German Propaganda Ministry Editors Law

The German Propaganda Ministry (through its Reich Press Chamber) assumed control over the Reich Association of the German Press, the guild which regulated entry into the profession. Under the new Editors Law, the association kept registries of “racially pure” editors and journalists, and excluded Jews and those married to Jews from the profession. Propaganda Ministry officials expected editors and journalists, who had to register with the Reich Press Chamber to work in the field, to follow mandates and specific instructions handed down by the ministry. In paragraph 14 of the law, the regime required editors to omit from publication anything “calculated to weaken the strength of the Reich abroad or at home.” [source: encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/timeline-event/holocaust/1933-1938/editors-law]

 

Putin signs law forcing bloggers to register with Russian media office

The Verge is about technology and how it makes us feel. Founded in 2011, we offer our audience everything from breaking news to reviews to award-winning features and investigations, on our site, in video, and in podcasts.

As stated above… in 2014, Putin signed law forcing bloggers to register with Russian media office.

More proof Florida Republicans following in the footsteps of German and Russian FASCISTS and are DESTROYING Democracy in the United States.

Any attempt to harass or silence this site would be a violation of the site owner’s CIVIL RIGHTS and 1ST AMENDMENT RIGHTS and will be reported to the United States Department of Justice, exposed on Social Media, Billboards and reported to worldwide news media outlets. If Bill 1316 is signed into law and blog owners are harassed, a Multi-Billion Dollar CLASS ACTION Lawsuit will be filed against the State of Florida on behalf of ALL blog owners affected by Bill 1316.

One of the 1st lawyers I’ll contact if I’m harassed is Ron Kuby, a First Amendment lawyer in New York who said “the law would not survive a court challenge if it is passed. “It’s hard to imagine a proposal that would be more violative of the First Amendment,” Kuby said. “We don’t register journalists. People who write cannot be forced to register”

 

Russian Lawmakers Pass Bill to Outlaw Insulting the State

Critics worry that the state will use the laws to silence critics in the country, which already has severely restricted free speech freedoms.

Per the article above: “Russian Lawmakers Pass Bill to Outlaw Insulting the State” is similar to how DeSantis and Florida Republicans want to silence critics by making it easier to SUE them. This is STILL the United States of America and NOT Russia (as it appears some RINO FASCIST Republicans wishes it would be).

Per an article published by the Washington Post, “Anonymous criticism helped make America great” at washingtonpost.com/outlook/2018/09/08/anonymous-criticism-helped-make-america-great/

“Anonymous publication has been an essential feature of American democracy since its beginning. It has long allowed vulnerable voices to participate in public politics and speak truth to power. Indeed, anonymous debate was at the center of the revolutionary politics that led to American independence, the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights, which enshrined the press freedoms that continue to protect anonymous speech today”.

“In the late 18th century, pseudonyms and anonymous sources filled the pages of newspapers. In fact, some of the most prominent Founding Fathers regularly used the shield of pseudonyms in political essays during the era of the American Revolution: Thomas Paine, John Dickinson, Alexander Hamilton, Arthur Lee, John Jay, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. Influential texts such as “Common Sense,” the Federalist essays and the “Letters from a Farmer in Pennsylvania” essays were all published without an author’s byline”.

 

 

Radical Right-Wing Anti-Democratic Fascist BULLY Republicans prove they HATE Freedom of Speech & the First Amendment when people or organizations speak out against THEM – Apr 27, 2022

 

Republican Attacks on Freedom of Speech: Florida Bill HB 991

Republicans are continuing their attacks on Civil Rights and Freedom of Speech with Florida Bill HB 991 which significantly weakens libel laws. It weaponizes defamation law to the point that it be a death knell for American traditions of free speech and could be used to crush critics of government policy.

Description from YouTube: “Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is seen by many as apparently creating the right-wing “safe space” that Marjorie Taylor Greene seemed to ask for–a space where the children of certain white Christians will never have to learn anything that makes their right-wing parents uncomfortable. Joy Reid and her panel discuss the Florida bills and new laws passed by Republicans that experts say infringe on the First Amendment”.

 

Bobby Block: HB 991 – bad for Florida, bad for America

This legislation is hardly a novel move.

Per the article above: “Imagine a world in which newspapers have been bankrupted and shuttered. Imagine that Reddit, the Drudge Report and Red Pill are no more and that social media platforms forbid political discussion of any stripe. Imagine that while some television and radio news shows still exist, they only feature endless stories about cats and dogs, and fawning coverage of those in power. Imagine a world in which robust political discussion has been cowed into silence, all government business takes place behind closed doors, and nobody can talk about what might have transpired in this darkness unless they want to end up broke, unemployed and homeless”.

This is not the backdrop of some new Netflix drama about a dystopian future in a galaxy, far, far away. No. This is a possible reality right here in Florida if lawmakers succeed in passing a bill that would lower the threshold for the rich and powerful to sue anybody who says something they don’t like.

HB 991 is officially called the Defamation, False Light, and Unauthorized Publication of Name or Likenesses Bill. But First Amendment activists like me who have read it call it the “Death to Public Discourse Bill.”

Key supporters of HB 991 want you to believe the legislation is about taming the excesses of the “liberal corporate” media by giving the “little guy” a chance to avenge “bad” coverage. But the truth of this bill is all about making it easier for government officials and their rich and powerful allies to use the courts to punish those who criticize them.

And despite the belief by some conservatives that HB 991 would only affect The New York Times, the Miami Herald and CNN if it were to become law, the reality is no information outlet would be spared the depredations of punitive lawsuits under its provisions. Fox, Newsmax, and conservative talk radio stations will all feel the sting of this new law as public figures across the political spectrum look to exact their vengeance against inconvenient news coverage and commentary. The fallout would just as likely crush Fox’s Tucker Carlson as it would the NYT’s Paul Krugman.

More than that, this legislation would also subject bloggers, community groups, average users of social media — in short everybody who wants their voices heard — to the untold financial and emotional burdens of lawsuits.

 

 

Florida lawmakers to consider defamation bill

A law expert explains the bill could allow the “little guy” to go after media companies reporting false information, but the average person could be sued, as well.

Per the above article: The AP reports DeSantis is seeking to undercut a 1964 U.S. Supreme Court decision that shielded news outlets from libel judgments unless proven that they were published with “actual malice” — knowing that something was false or acting with “reckless disregard” to whether it was true. Florida legislation to carry out DeSantis’ plan would make it unnecessary to prove “actual malice” when the allegedly defamatory statements don’t relate to the reason why someone is a public figure.

Goldman says HB 991 would make it easier for the “little guy” to go after media companies reporting false information, but it would also make it easier for the little guy to be sued, as well.

10 Tampa Bay asked Goldman about the implications of this bill. “This law is almost clearly unconstitutional on multiple fronts. And so most legislatures are reluctant to pass unconstitutional laws because they’re just wasting their taxpayers’ time and money,” Goldman said. “But I don’t know that the Florida Legislature is worried about that.”

 

 

Those accused of discrimination would have new protections under Florida bill

A bill proposed by a Republican lawmaker would change the meaning of “defamation per se.”

Per the article above; Bill would limit who is considered a public figure for the purposes of defamation suits and could make it more difficult for media outlets to use anonymous sources.

The bill could also have a chilling effect on news outlets reporting about people accused of discriminating against others on the basis of race, sexuality or gender identity, legal experts say.

“This is a very plaintiff-friendly bill,” said Clay Calvert, a professor emeritus of law at the University of Florida Levin College of Law. And he said the bill does not just apply to mainstream news — it applies to other forms of publishing as well, including social media.

Andrade noted that publishing true statements is an “absolute defense” against a defamation claim. And he said the bill does not just apply to mainstream news — it applies to other forms of publishing as well, including social media. HB 991 would limit who can be considered a public figure under the law for purposes of defamation. It would also exempt public figures from the actual malice standard “when the allegation does not relate to the reason for his or her public status.”

Calvert noted that revising American libel laws has long been a priority of many conservatives. When he was running for president in 2016, Donald Trump pledged to “open up our libel laws.”

 

Florida Republicans Criminalize Protesting

With the passage of an anti-protest law, Joy says, “DeSantis is actually governing like the former Alabama Governor … George Wallace made no secret of what he would do to protesters if they were lying in the street in front of his car.”

 

 

Gov. Ron DeSantis & Florida Republican passes a law that could create harshest punishments for protesters in the nation.

 

Florida passes law to Criminalize Protesting

 

CBS NEWS: Florida Republicans want take away peoples right to peacefully protest with Anti-Democratic Authoritarian “Rioting Bill” to quash Freedom of Speech.

Saying it is designed to quash the voices of Black and brown people, Florida Democratic lawmakers on Monday excoriated a proposal pushed by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis and legislative leaders aimed at cracking down on protests.

 

WJXT NEWS 4: Florida activists push back against proposed increased punishment for protesters

A day after Gov. Ron DeSantis rolled out a legislative package aimed at cracking down on protesters by creating a host of new crimes, a group of Florida civil-rights activists on Tuesday came out strong against the proposed laws.

 

‘Rally to Save Protesting’: March for our Lives Florida rallies against DeSantis’ ‘anti-riot’ bill

 

Florida Senate passes controversial ‘anti-riot’ bill pushed in wake of Black Lives Matter protests

The Florida Senate passed a controversial anti-riot bill that was pushed by GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis in the wake of Black Lives Matter protests last summer.

Per the above article; “The Florida Senate on Thursday passed, largely along party lines, a controversial anti-riot bill that was pushed by GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis in the wake of Black Lives Matter protests last summer.

The bill would increase criminal penalties for assaulting law enforcement officials while engaging in a “riot” and defacing monuments and other public property during riots. It would also penalize local governments that interfere with law enforcement efforts to contain riots and set up a citizen’s appeal process when cities and counties try to reduce police budgets in response to riots.

The final vote in the Senate was 23-17, with one Republican voting with Democrats in opposition. The bill passed the GOP-controlled House in late March. Democratic legislators argue that it would create a chilling effect on First Amendment rights and restrict political dissent”.

“This legislation strikes the appropriate balance of safeguarding every Floridian’s constitutional right to peacefully assemble, while ensuring that those who hide behind peaceful protest to cause violence in our communities will be punished,” DeSantis said in a statement”.

DeSantis statement; “This legislation strikes the appropriate balance of safeguarding every Floridian’s constitutional right to peacefully assemble” is total BS. The criminal penalties in the bill PROVES his statement is BS.

 

Trump Loving Florida Governor Makes It LEGAL To Kill Protestors

Under a proposed piece of legislation from Ron DeSantis, the Trump-loving governor of Florida, it would be legal for citizens to run over protestors without any fear of prosecution, as long as the protestor was in the street. This is a direct attack on the First Amendment of the United States, and DeSantis is merely trying to give voters the impression that things are out of control in the state. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains why DeSantis is doing this.

 

Republican Ron DeSantis ‘God made a fighter’ who was ‘Anointed By God’ Propaganda Political Ad really shows what DeSantis thinks of himself and what a danger to Democracy he is. DeSantis who claims he’s made Florida “one of the Freest States in American”, has taken away rights and made it one of the most oppressed.

“Dictators Playbook”

 

 

Republicans fit all of the Characteristics of Fascism described below

Fourteen Characteristics of Fascism Article by Dr. Lawrence Britt

1. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights – Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of “need.” The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc.

2. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause – The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial , ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc.

3. Supremacy of the Military – Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.

4. Rampant Sexism – The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Divorce, abortion and homosexuality are suppressed and the state is represented as the ultimate guardian of the family institution.

5. Controlled Mass Media – Sometimes to media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common.

6. Obsession with National Security – Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses.

7. Religion and Government are Intertwined – Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government’s policies or actions.

8. Corporate Power is Protected – The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite.

9. Labor Power is Suppressed – Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed.

10. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts – Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts and letters is openly attacked.

11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment – Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations.

12. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption – Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders.

13. Manipulate & Control elections – Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate & control elections.

14. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism – Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.

Trump Supporters Are Excited By The Idea Of Him Being A Dictator

Donald Trump did exactly what most of us expected, and he actually convinced his base that he SHOULD be a dictator if he gets back into office, and that it is somehow a good thing to trample on the Constitution. Ever since Trump first made his dictator comments, his supporters have been quick to defend and ultimately offer their praise of the comments, and that part isn’t dying down, either. A new poll also shows that a strong number of Iowa voters say that his rhetoric makes it MORE likely that they will support him.

 

German Nazis were Right-Wing “Conservative” Fascist

The full name of Hitler’s party was Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei. In English, that translates to National Socialist German Workers’ Party. But it was not a socialist party; it was a right-wing, ultranationalist party dedicated to racial purity, territorial expansion and anti-Semitism and total political control.

The Nazi party was largely supported by small-business men and conservative industrialists (just like today’s American Republican party).

Thom Hartmann explains how Victor Orbán and his Radical Right-Wing Party took over the once Democratic government in Hungary and turned it into a anti-democratic authoritarian fascist one-party-rule dictatorship where elections & the courts are rigged, all of the media is state controlled and praise for Victor Orbán Propaganda is seen everywhere.

FOX Refused to Air Jan. 6 Hearings to Keep Their Viewers In The Dark

While all major TV Networks committed to Air the Jan. 6 Hearings FOX Refused to Air them apparently to prevent their viewers from learning the truth about the extent of Republicans attempted coup to overthrow the U.S. Government and STEAL the 2020 Election.

 

25 years of dangerous lies from Fox News: “There is a direct pipeline from what appears on Fox News to the absolute worst manifestations, worst behavior, worst elements of our politics and society.”

 

The “Fox-Can-Lie Lawsuit” established that they are not required to be truthful by law. Since Fox has established that they have the legal right not to be truthful, Fox Opinion Hosts tells their conservative viewers that Democrats are “Radical Leftist Socialists” who want to take away your guns & freedom, that Republican policies are good for this country, that Trump’s a rational person and the MSM (Main Stream Media) such as ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, New York Times, Washington Post etc is “Fake News”. ALL the exact opposite of the TRUTH.

The FOX News Network is helping to destroy the United States & Democracy by promoting hate, conspiracy theories, omission of the facts to keep their viewers in the dark about the damage Republicans has been doing for the past 20 years and outright lies such as the 2020 election being “Stolen” and Trump “Won in a landslide”. Example shown on this page

 

 

Right-wing media use their platforms to demonize DEMOCRATS, the very people who fights for Middle Class and Poor Americans. They brainwash their viewers into believing the Mainstream Media is “Fake News”so they never watch legitimate news and learn the truth about the damage Trump and Republicans has been doing to our country while screwing over “the little guy”. Also, the more people who watches, the more money they can bring in for advertising because MORE VIEWERS = MORE PROFITS. And it helps Republicans get re-elected, against the best interests of middle class and poor Americans.

 

Republicans are LIARS who have NOTHING to offer except LIES, Divisive Social Issues, taking away Women’s Rights, Attacking / Demonizing LGBT’s, Cutting / Eliminating Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, giving Tax Breaks to RICH, Rigging Elections by Gerrymandering, Voter Obstruction and other anti-democratic tactics to prevent people from voting who aren’t likely to vote for them.

 

Republicans are bought and paid for by Huge Corporations and the RICH. The United States is Trillions of Dollars in Debt because of Republicans giving tax breaks to the Rich, refusing to make them pay their fair share and years of bloated military spending.

Ex-Fox News analyst: Trump is a danger to the US

Republicans must lie to survive: They have no other choice

From Ronald Reagan to Donald Trump, the path to Republican political success is rooted in profound deception

Per the above article; “The GOP exists to serve the interests of the wealthy and big business that comprise the richest 1%. No party, however, can ever win an election with only 1% of the vote. So to win elections, the GOP must necessarily reach beyond its own wealthy core and attempt to convince a large segment of working people in the 99% to vote for Republicans.

Normally, a political party wins elections by offering policies that benefit the voters. These policies attract the voters who then cast their votes for the political party.

But for the Republican Party, this is not an option. A candidate could not possibly campaign on the policies favored by the 1%. Just imagine the stump speech. “Vote for me and I will slash your health care! In fact, I’ll do even better — I’ll fight like mad to completely eliminate your health care!”

“Vote for me and I will get rid of your pensions! This would save corporations a bundle and boost profits to the shareholders! Screw the workers!”

“Vote for me and I promise to ship your jobs overseas under globalization! The exact same labor can be hired in Asia for only pennies! Hurray!”

The Republican Party is left with only one option. It cannot possibly be honest about its true intentions and actual policies. The working class would never vote for them. Instead, the only option is to lie”.

Right Wing Media has been extremely effective in propagating and reinforcing Republican’s lies to brainwashed viewers.

Proof of how Republican’s policies are bad for working class people is how California Republican Gubernatorial Candidate Larry Elder ran on a platform of eliminating the minimum wage.

 

Fox News C.E.O.’s Strategy at Center of $1.6 Billion Lawsuit (Published 2022)

Suzanne Scott remade Fox News Media into a lucrative consumer brand. But a defamation suit against the company is a test of her strategy and leadership.

Per the above article from the New York Times; “Since Scott took over the top job at Fox News in 2018, her colleagues said, she has managed from behind the scenes with a simple mantra: Respect Fox’s audience. Often that involves sparing conservative viewers what they don’t want to hear — even when that means ignoring one of the biggest stories of the year.

That strategy has helped Fox News succeed not just as the most-watched cable news network in the country but also as a multibillion-dollar consumer brand with a suite of businesses that, according to a recent company promo for one product, offers fans “The World According to Fox.”

But Scott’s Fox News — a sanctuary for conservatives where few unpleasant facts intrude and political misinformation has spread — also looms large in a case that threatens Fox’s business and possibly Scott herself. She has emerged as one of the central figures in the $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox by Dominion Voting Systems, in which the voting company accuses Fox executives of juicing ratings and profits by repeatedly airing false information about Dominion machines siphoning votes away from former President Donald Trump”.

The FOX News Network has put PROFITS & PARTISANSHIP above PATRIOTISM and telling the TRUTH

 

 

Fox News Pundits Partisan Double Standards & Hypocrisy EXPOSED

After getting busted for text messages to Mark Meadows Fox News Pundits Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson whines about their “private” texts being exposed to the public.

 

 

Here’s a photo of Sean Hannity’s home in New York. According to celebritynetworth.com/richest-politicians/republicans/sean-hannity-net-worth, Hannity is worth $250 Million and his salary is $45 Million a year.

When you look at the lavish lifestyle Hannity lives, one can see why he has a vested interest in doing or saying what-ever it takes to maintain his lavish lifestyle.

 

Tucker Carlson acts like a Spoiled Brat Psychotic Punk in the above video cutting off an ex-cop, abruptly ending the interview when confronted with information which didn’t fit his narrative.

Two Fox News contributors resign after Tucker Carlson special

Stephen Hayes and Jonah Goldberg announced Sunday night that they have resigned from Fox News, saying that Tucker Carlson’s “Patriot Purge” propaganda film was the last straw.

 

Title from Youtube; “Why Tucker Carlson pretends to hate elites”

Description from Youtube; “Tucker Carlson has branded himself as a populist, condemning the “liberal elite” that he argues makes up the American “ruling class.” It’s a good shtick, and it’s helped him stand out from other Fox News hosts. But while Tucker decries the “elite” on his show, he regularly ignores major stories of Republican economic policies that harm the working class, choosing instead to focus on bogus culture war stories.

That isn’t an accident. Carlson’s show is meant to distract Fox News viewers from Republican economics, channeling their frustration and anger at groups that don’t deserve it. That kind of misdirection produces what Marxist theorists call “false consciousness”: when workers are tricked into accepting their own exploitation”.

 

When spoiled kids whine

Saying the White House “can’t not give us a pass,” Tucker Carlson shows why we need a better class of rich people

Per the above article; “Nothing says “spoiled child” like Tucker Carlson. The son of wealthy Republican William Carlson, a former Los Angeles television anchor who became the head of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and a U.S. ambassador, Carlson used his family connections to sail into journalism. Except for a brief moment when he seemed willing to ruffle the powers that be – his first George W. Bush profile for Talk magazine comes to mind – he has done nothing but afflict the afflicted and comfort the comfortable in his career. Examples of his partisan ethics abound, but my favorite was his shrill defense of Scooter Libby in the Valerie Plame case while never acknowledging that his father headed Libby’s defense fund. Wealthy Republican family values at work”.

 

Here’s a photo of Tucker Carlson’s home. Per an article at velvetropes.com/backstage/tucker-carlson-house; “Tucker Carlson’s house is 7,400 square feet with 5 bedrooms and 6.5 bathrooms. In the fully-enclosed backyard is a 40-foot heated swimming pool, a veranda, a flagstone terrace, a lush lawn, and perfectly manicured mature landscaping”.

According to celebritynetworth.com/richest-politicians/republicans/tucker-carlson-net-worth is worth $30 Million and his salary is $6 Million a year.

When you look at the lavish lifestyle Carlson lives, one can see why he has a vested interest to do / say what-ever it takes to maintain his lavish lifestyle. Also, having a show watched by millions of people carries enormous prestige, to the extent some people might be willing to abandon allegiance to county & decency.

 

Tucker Carlson And Sean Hannity Forced To Sit For Depositions In Defamation Case

Both Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson have reportedly been deposed, among others, and this looks to be the one time that Fox can’t get out of serious trouble for what their hosts and guests said on the network.

 

Study Confirms That Fox Makes You Stupid

According to a new study recently published in American politics, research consuming too much Fox news can in fact, made you stupid. Now the study didn’t put it that way. The study said, it just makes you less informed about, you know, certain things, especially certain things having to do with science, but let’s not dance around it, right? We’re we’re not having to use scientific language. We’re not having to have this published so we can straight up say what it actually is. Fox news makes you stupid. Now, before I get into the details of this particular study, it is important to remember that over the years we have seen study after study, after study, that has confirmed that Fox news viewers are the least informed out of any other media consumers here in the United States.
