Florida's Republican governor said he would seek to abolish the departments of Education, Commerce and Energy, as well as the IRS.

"If Congress will work with me on doing that, we'll be able to reduce the size and scope of government," he added. "If Congress won't go that far, I'm going to use those agencies to push back against woke ideology and against the leftism that we see creeping into all institutions of American life."

Nothing says "Small government" like banning drag shows, banning books, banning certain subjects from being taught in college (CRT and black history), telling women what they can and cannot do with their own bodies, going after Disney because they opposed your anti gay bills, etc....

He wants to make America into Gilead, waiting for him to announce he intends to create the department of Christianity.

Asked how he would replace the existing tax structure, DeSantis said he has “supported all of the single-rate proposals," referring to a flat tax.

A flat tax, a.k.a. taxing the people who can least afford it rather than the people who can most easily afford it. Cartoon villain shit.

You say "Department of Christianity" like it's a bad thing. Guess those public schools that you're so adamant to defend utterly failed you. This country was founded BY non-catholic Christians, FOR non-catholic Christians. The rest of you have just been tolerated for the longest time; which has turned out to be the biggest mistake this country has ever committed.

To be 100% clear, if I had the chance to jump into an alternate timeline where the United States stayed a Christian Theocratic Republic, I would. You Demonrats are the most unsufferable collection of Savages in the entire multiverse. And one day, the last of you will finally die and this country can become great again.

Extremely weak ragebait attempt.

I don't troll. I was 100% serious about that post. And if it pisses off any of you subhuman leftists, too bad. This isn't Reddit. I won't be censored here.

@Craynak_Zero a song for you

Why don't you take your abhorrent chistofascism somewhere it's wanted? Because it's not here. That's some projection, given that the ideology that's dying is yours. Just look at the demographic shift away from religious absurdity that's taking place in most developed countries. I look forward to seeing it in the dustbin of history with other irrational, hateful belief systems.

I would like to see you somehow make me go somewhere else. It's not going to happen. This isn't Reddit, and I can't be intimidated by the worthless text of a leftist subhuman.

The demographic shift is temporary, as leftists don't have kids. They only abort them.

You want to know what ideology will die off within 20 years though? Current leftist ideology, as it's nothing more then a Death Cult. Meanwhile, us on the right won't abort our kids. Instead, we'll raise our kids as good, Christian people.

The most satisfying part is you leftists don't even realize that your days are numbered. You mutilate and abort children, so your Death Cult can only reproduce by indoctrination of our people's children. And the parents of the United States are starting to fight back against the left. Meanwhile, all I have to do to get my children to be Christian is tell them the truth, all of it. They are more then smart enough to be able to tell that Christianity is the only way forward.

Edit: Really? You have to resort to call me a Nazi? That's not going to work on me. Your opinion of me is irrelevant. And more importantly, the use of a logical farcety proves that your losing the argument. A suggestion; instead of name calling, maybe you should do something useful, like learning to code or something.

This is such lazy trolling. Try harder.

[–] YolkBrushWork402@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That is one way to destroy the United States

[–] fidodo@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

I don't understand the end game here. I understand corporations trying to get more control, but you have less money and power if you're just ruling over ashes.

This coming from the prince of unintended consequences.

Seem a very conservative number coming from him

[–] Spacebar@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Congress would have to grant him Presidential Reorganization Authority to do what he's promising. The last president to be granted that was Reagan.

DeSantis is a facist fool with the personality of wet paper. He should never hold public office again.

[–] fossilesque@mander.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

I mean there is an argument to burning it all down and starting over but this ain't it lmao.
