DeSantis is pandering to regressive elements by his authoritarian targeting of science, medicine, education, reproductive freedom, private enterprise, etc.
Americans who are awake are being blatantly attacked in his contrived culture war.
Floridians are being saddled with the legal costs of his repressive, unconstitutional self-promotion, much of which will be undone by the courts.

Saying gender identity is real, a federal judge temporarily blocked portions of a new Florida law that bans transgender minors from receiving puberty blockers, ruling Tuesday that the state has no rational basis for denying patients treatment.
Judge Robert Hinkle issued a preliminary injunction, saying three transgender children can continue receiving treatment.
“The elephant in the room should be noted at the outset. Gender identity is real. The record makes this clear,” Hinkle said, adding that even a witness for the state agreed.
Transgender medical treatment for minors is increasingly under attack in many states and has been subject to restrictions or outright bans. But it has been available in the United States for more than a decade and is endorsed by major medical associations.
Intrusive politicians with no expertise in science, medicine, education, private enterprise, or respect for reproductive freedom are appealing to an ilk that craves dictatorial control of society.
