Ron DeSantis and Florida Republicans prove they’re anti-democratic Fascists attacking Freedom of Speech by threatening legal action against on TV stations that air pro-abortion rights ballot measure ads. The Department of Justice should respond by filing abuse office against Ron DeSantis and Florida Republicans for violating First Amendment Rights

 

Florida Republican Governor Ron DeDantis Busted in Extortion Scheme

RADICAL Right Wing Anti-Democratic Fascist Republican Governor DeSantis in Florida isn’t just content with crushing First Amendment speech against American voters to threaten criminals again against pro-choice ads running in Florida, but now his office may have committed extortion and fraud as well. Michael Popok take a look at new filings in a federal case against DeSantis’ administration and threats against his own lawyers to do his illegal bidding.

Florida Republicans PROVE They’re Anti-Democratic FASCISTS

 

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).

This is another example of how Florida Republicans are ARROGANT and DRUNK with power.

Ken Burns Compares DeSantis Bills to ‘Soviet System’ on CNN: ‘The Way the Nazis Would Build a Potemkin Village’

Documentary filmmaker Ken Burns joined CNN on Tuesday and accused Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) of creating a Soviet-like system through his bills targeting materials available in public schools. 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. House Bill 999 would give more power to a university board of trustees over curriculum being taught and essentially ban controversial curriculum like Critical Race Theory.

Per the above article: ‘This is what a dictator does’: Nikki Fried blames Gov. DeSantis for Republican proposal to abolish Florida Democratic Party

“Nikki Fried, the newly elected chairwoman of the Florida Democratic Party, blamed Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration for the proposal. “This is what a dictator does,” Fried said Tuesday in a conference call with reporters. “A dictator goes after those who oppose his policies, those who stand in his way of ultimate power.”

Fried also criticized what she called the “radical Republican Party” for opposing freedom of speech and the freedom to organize. On Wednesday, the Democratic Party called the measure “unserious” and a publicity stunt by Republicans. “The sooner DeSantis and his puppets in the Legislature learn that Florida is a democratic republic and not a banana republic, the better it will be for all Floridians,” the party said in a news release.

Florida Republicans Are Trying To BAN The Democratic Party

 

Florida Republican blasted over ‘ridiculous’ bill to obliterate all traces of Democrats

A Florida GOP State Senator has proposed a bill that would officially abolish the state’s Democratic Party, NBC reports.Sen. Blaise Ingoglia filed “The Ultimate Cancel Act,” which according to the Tallahassee Democrat, “never mentions the word Democrat or Democratic, but would decertify any politica…

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.”

@Patriot1690: “Members of the Maga GOP once again showing that if they ever take power again, they would do all they can to destroy democracy.”

@JordanAdams171: “This is downright authoritarian and fascism @GOP”

@JoePalank: “It’s refreshing to be able to say ‘oh, he’s a fascist’ as a statement of fact and not political opinion.”

Tim O’Hara: “This is so ridiculous even for the GOP.”

@TheMermaidAg: “Um Florida… y’all ok? You just wanna go all in on the whole fascism thing for real?”

 

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

This 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. 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 –

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 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.

 

 

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.

 

DeSantis & Florida Republicans are following the playbook of Fascist
Autocrat Dictator of Hungary Viktor Orban by taking control of Education

 

Radical Right Wing Republican Ron DeSantis Hostile takeover of liberal New College of Florida is similar to Right Wing Fascist Autocrats playbook around the world, turning Florida into a Anti-Democratic Fascist Christian Nationalist State

 

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.

Right’s Embrace of Authoritarianism

 

Videos show how Right-wingers turned Hungary into a anti-democratic fascist one-party-rule dictatorship. Trump & Republicans have followed the same playbook so it could happen here unless they are STOPPED. Republicans have passed laws to overturn / override election results in states they control and put partisans in control of counting the votes, allowing them to make sure only Republicans are declared the winner.

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).

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
