A careful look at desantis 2011 book explains why he wants to bury the sins of slavery

Unless trump trashes him until his reputation is no better than Jeffrey Dahmer, little Ron will be the repub nominee, ready with book banning, revised history, and fascist policies.

trump is as dumb as a rock, bit he has no bottom to his morals. He will smear little Ron so badly, that his wife will quit sleeping with him.
Probably but Desantis is pretty ruthless himself. MAD is a possibility here. The GOP needed to have an internal struggle between the regular conservatives and the Neo-fascists but instead it seems they will have a reality show style war between two jackasses cut from the same cloth.
 
Aw heck, our President is just a dumb ol White Boy who kicked Corn Pop's ass and tells Black guys "If you don't vote for me, you ain't Black!!" That's why Black folk love him so.
And 95% of black people vote for that. Just proves how effective the propaganda spewed by Dems and the LYING festering boils in the MSM is.
 
This jerk using our state government to audition for president and fight personal grudges ought to piss off at least a few republicans but apparently they like his style of self-centered fascism.
Pack up and move to a blue shithole state then. Florida doesn't want or need your kind. Piss of back to NY.
 
”Poor kids are just as bright as white kids”-Veggie Joe
Racist Biden slipped up and told everyone what he really thinks. Let's remember Biden grew up when blacks had to sit in the back of the bus and drink from a separate fountain and his pals were in the KKK.

Now can you even imagine the shitstorm and demands to public hanging if say Trump said that.
 

In short, in the book DeSantis has to create a Constitution that is not so much aspirational as imaginary in order to align himself with the tradition of Martin Luther King Jr. and others who used the notion of the Founders’ benign original intentions to actually liberate Black people and increase equality. But whereas these figures wanted to talk about the Black past and present, and the impact of racial domination on everyone Black or white, DeSantis insists that a return to first principles means never bringing up slavery except to praise those who ended it.

The question of whether or how the American Founders were complicit with slavery might seem to be a seemingly minor, even technical, matter compared with other legislative maneuverings in Florida. But for DeSantis, it’s the beginning and the essence of what he opposes. The Florida Commission of Education said that the recently passed Stop WOKE Act targeted “revisionist history” while the Florida House speaker said, “The bill provides assurance for parents that some of the most difficult lessons about our nation’s history and current events are taught accurately while treating everyone as individuals.” A state senator cited it as a move back to “historical facts” instead of “indoctrination.” There’s room for disagreement about how to view and teach the intertwined legacies of the American Revolution, slavery, and the Constitution. But as his own book suggests, it is DeSantis himself who ignores certain facts, is prone to identity-driven circular logic, and dismisses what Black voices, past and present, have to teach.

There is no doubt that desantis is a very intelligent and calculating man. But that "virtue" makes him that much more dangerous than his equally as ignorant detractor and possible competitor, trump. Where trump's ignorance led us down a road of debauchery and chaos; desantis, if elected, could lead us down a road of organized and well constructed fascism. Such a controlled governance could set back freedom and democracy in this country for decades.
What did Trump do to lead us into debauchery? Be specific. Remember Trump is pro life and abortion is debauchery.
 
An opinion piece from a liberal published in a liberal magazine I will give it all the consideration the left would give an opinion piece from a conservative critical of a liberal politican published in a conservative magazine or website.

I have lived in Florida for the last 45 years. I love it here. I have every right to complain when a bunch of greedy carpet-baggers are working to make Florida into Alabama.

Leftist, there are no slaves in the USA.

When something is dead the proper thing to do is bury it

Libs are holding onto a corpse
 
The worst aspect of the race-based propaganda of the Left is that they are building a significant following of blacks as victims. That will eventually boomerang on them and the real progress made since the 60s will be degraded and possibly, lost.
I grew up in the south in the 60s and 70s and remember well the strife our state went through with compulsory desegregation, primarily through "bussing" black kids into white neighborhoods and vice versa.

The net effect after about a decade was that both races had a chance to share space and school challenges and sports, and we all realized the "others" weren't so bad, after all. If someone had told us in '72, that 50 years into the future, it would be black Americans demanding re-segregation, no one would have believed it. Everything about the "Progressive" movement, "progresses" in a retrograde manner.
Yep, it is so going to backfire that the Dems have won the seven of the last eight popular votes in presidential elections, and they are going to beat the Repubs so bad next year that it will be out of power for a generation.

The racism of the Obamas set us back a generation.
DeSantis has no shot at that feat.
