Agreed! That goes for all states. If people would start focusing on their local and state representatives and stop getting so caught up in crowning a king or queen every 4 years things would be amazingly different in America. There'd be more than 2 states to run to. But people *have* to get involved. As it stands now, the people fleeing to freer states are reaping the benefits from tons of hard work on the part of those who have lived in those states and have worked to keep sanity in the government of said state. I hope Guv Ron stays put. With all of the people flooding in there from fanatical lunatic states and bringing their politics with them, Florida's gonna need him. Mark my words

Got that right. A lot of Americans on both sides want a king to rule over them. Even a lot of Democrats I used to talk to got angry at Trump--for NOT being a brutal enough dictator. I kid you not. They complained he was "fascist" BECAUSE he did not lock all Americans of all occupations including farmers into their homes for a solid year and forcibly jab them all even those known to be most apt to die from the shot.

They don't know what fascist means. It seems to be what they really want. And they're going to get it too--even without the Donald.

Well, yeah, they did a job on Trump, but he was a neophyte. If DeSantis gets there he should be more astute and wary. Unless someone else rises to the top, who else could be possible to elect?

Regardless, what is required is someone of DeSantis basic intention and character with the perseverance of Churchill. Even if DeSantis fails to Veto HB7021 no one is "perfect", there is no perfect man, and certainly no perfect politician. Besides, there may be some unknown, uncontrolled reason why this bill will be allowed through that we may never know in the near future but may come to light in the end. You don't always get what you waaaannnt!

Good points, pretty-red, old guy, and I just learned about a potential third option on the table that would represent progress, even though it’s a bit of compromise:

I guess I would play hard ball compared to that. If the guv, I would insist they REPLACE the CDC guidelines with Dr. Peter McCullough(Fareed, Tyson's et al ) guidelines based on early treatment with IVM, Quer., Vit C & D, Doxy, etc, in other words the "cocktail". The vax is simply dangerous(specially to some folks) and should be outlawed. Otherwise, if I were guv, they would be liable. Of course, not much of a political option . . . I can dream though!
