When Ron DeSantis was asked by a Fox News host two years ago if the United States is “systemically racist,” the Florida governor quickly responded: “It’s a bunch of horse manure.” He went on to boast that he had banned such ideas in Florida’s schools.
I would accuse Ron DeSantis of being an idiot, but alas he is something far worse. He is a perfectly intelligent person who is willing to use idiots to climb the ladder. If it means people stay in ignorance about the nation’s past because it hurts the adults’ feelings when it’s brought up that the US has a less than perfect past, so be it. If it means trans kids commit suicide because of the hostile atmosphere he fosters, so be it. It’s not about Ron DeSantis believing in something. All that matters is Ron DeSantis getting power. He’s one of the worst types of politicians.
Well said!
