DeSantis was talking to his gullible, intelligence challenged Republican base when he said. “Obviously, if you’re talking about the federal government coming in and overruling parents and our communities, that would be something we would fight back vociferously against.”
The reasonably intelligent observer would ask, "What is he talking about? How is the federal government "coming in" when it comes to school children wearing masks to prevent getting sick?
Ironically, DeSantis then touted his policy for putting parents in control.
Gullible and dense Republicans fail to realize that it is DeSantis who dictating to parents and communities, not the federal government.
Parents elect school board members, and superintendents of schools work for the duly elected school boards the parents chose.
DeSantis is telling school districts they cannot issue face mask mandates, essentially telling parents what their representatives can't do.
Will intellectually deprived Republicans ever understand this concept? Hell, no. They believe whatever DeSantis and Trump tell them to believe. They even believe Senator Rand Paul who said that face masks don't work.
Paul was banished from YouTube for a week for telling the obvious lie.
Are Republicans aware of any of this? No, they don't listen to responsible news sources. They listen only to phony far right web sites where DeSantis would be king.
If it weren't for Trump.
