Ron DeSantis faces one setback after another in battle against LGBTQ rights

Quote

Multiple federal court decisions have frozen key portions of Ron DeSantis’ campaign against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights in recent weeks, complicating the Florida governor’s efforts to present himself as a conservative champion with a track record of winning cultural battles over LGBTQ causes.

In the last week alone, the DeSantis administration faced setbacks in three legal battles over LGBTQ rights. Judges rejected state efforts to block transgender adults’ access to gender-affirming care under Medicaid, bar transgender children from accessing puberty blockers, and ban minors from certain types of live entertainment at restaurants — legislation widely interpreted as a proposal to target drag shows.

DeSantis’ agenda has hit other roadblocks, with judges blocking portions of his plans to control teaching and training on gender identity in schools and workplaces. The governor also faces ongoing litigation over his efforts to ban transgender athletes from competing on sports teams of their declared gender and to restrict access to school books, including those with LGBTQ themes.

The left wing opinion rag is LYING. There is NO war against queers. The Governor ruled that CHILDREN could not have their dicks or breasts cut off just because they wanted to wear either dresses or pants.

Gee, Batman. The law also says minors cannot get a tattoo, buy a gun, buy alcohol.

You are just incurably STUPID.

The Miami Herald is a lying left wing opinion rag. It has ZERO credibility.

I'm just echoing what MOST OF AMERICA believes, whether you fcking like it or not.

Your goose stepping opinions are a MINORITY.

You're guilty of that, by citing the allegedly popular Miami Herald. THAT'S an appeal to popularity.

I speak for most of America. We elected Trump twice and it took voter fraud to overturn his reelection.

Nope. I said NOTHING about how popular it is. I said they have more credibility than YOU. Duh.

Without EVIDENCE, it didn't happen. Your gratuitous claims are EMPTY.

It happened whether the evidence was covered up or not. 81 MILLION INDIVIDUALS did not vote for PEDOPHILE JOE.

I just offer facts, even to idi0ts like you who are allergic to facts.

It's depressing that posters like reason10 exist, let alone having them post here.  I would be much happier for such people to return to where they were pre 2016 ie. not voting, not talking, not making us doubt our institutions.

But here we are.

The rest of us can debate them but does it work ?  They certainly don't listen and my feelings are that anybody out there that still stands to be convinced by such nonsense is already compromised.  Good for you, Robo, for the energy to throw sawdust on these vomitous arguments.

When you have NO EVIDENCE of fraud, ALL YOU HAVE is the certified vote count.

You can deny it all you want, but that DOESN'T MATTER. Your mere claims, DON'T MATTER.

He's clearly been kicked off of many, many forums. For some reason this forum seems to have abandoned all content moderation.

Usually this is out of some misplaced ideas about "free speech" -- or a very lazy interpretation of the matter.

Content moderation isn't antagonistic to a free exchange of ideas. It's what makes such an exchange possible. Like janitors who take out the trash, without content moderators forums get so shitty and disgusting that people who actually wish to exchange ideas will simply leave and the place will die.

The Great Ron DeSantis Train Wreck

Quote

It was often said that when Bill Clinton walked into a room, each person thought he noticed them in particular. Clinton was the ultimate retail politician: he liked people and they knew it. When Ron DeSantis shows up, even those who want to support him feel that he harbors a special dislike for them. Being a black hole in terms of charisma is not automatically fatal to a candidate’s prospects. When your target is the diabolically charismatic Donald Trump, however, you are working at a big disadvantage.

The story of how DeSantis went from being the favorite, or near-favorite, Republican nominee for the 2024 presidential race to America’s most rapidly falling meteor in years, tells us a lot about the mindset of US conservatism.

Ron Desantis is that whiney little c~nt in highschool who was head of the Glee Club. 

[Michael Hardner]

I don't understand what it tells us about the mindset of current conservatism as it says above.

The post said he lacks charisma, and that would be a flaw for any candidate not just a conservative.

The Miami Herald is suffering. So is Disney, for that matter. Seems like DeSantis is winning.

Oh well...

How are you any better with posts like that?  All you brought to the post was an attack on someone else and an encouragement for others to cancel the person.

Sorry, if you see him as a problem.. you're the same problem.

If that were true it could stand on it's own and be obvious without you needing to say it.

I don't particularly mind if you want to go after someone because you disagree with them, but it's pretty low brow to rend your garments over them bringing nothing to the table while bringing nothing to the table.

Decline in circulation does NOT demonstrate lack of credibility.

Newspaper circulation ALL OVER the US is down due to NEW COMPETITION from the Internet. Duh.

DeSantis is in a POLITICAL DEATH SPIRAL, cause no one likes him. Losing ground big time, even in FL.
