    DeSantis’s crusade to delegitimize the horrors of slavery is white supremacy in government

    ​The historical revisionism being employed here has a singular goal – to erase the horrors of America’s racist past, legitimize far-right ideology and create easier pathways for racism to thrive.

    Just look at what’s happening in Italy. For years, revisionists have redirected conversation about Italy’s role in the second world war away from its ******* crimes, effectively trivializing that past – and helping legitimize the county’s new far right. The prime minister, Giorgia Meloni, and her ilk simply that ****s and *******s were the bad guys in the war, and this ridiculous glossing over of Italy’s past has been extremely helpful to Italy’s contemporary far right.

    That is what DeSantis wants for America. A systematic destruction of human rights followed by a reworking of our collective memory around race, so that ultimately the country’s most vulnerable people don’t have a leg to stand on in fighting for their most basic rights...



    Ron DeSantis is following a trail blazed by a Hungarian authoritarian
    The Florida governor isn’t doing “competent *****ism.” He’s inventing American Orbánism.

    In June of last year, Hungary’s far-right government passed a law cracking down on ***** rights, including a provision prohibiting instruction on .

    About nine months later, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) signed the so-called “Don’t Say Gay” bill “classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on ***ual orientation or gender identity” up through third grade. According to some knowledgeable observers on the right, these two bills were closely connected.

    “About the Don’t Say Gay law, it was in fact modeled in part on what Hungary did last summer,” Rod Dreher, a senior editor at the American Conservative ****zine, . “I was told this by a conservative reporter who ... said he talked to the press secretary of Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida and she said, ‘Oh yeah, we were watching the Hungarians, so yay Hungary.’”

    (When I asked DeSantis press secretary Christina Pushaw about a possible connection, she initially denied knowing of Hungarian inspiration for Florida’s law. After I showed her the quote from Dreher, she did not respond further. Dreher did not reply to two requests for comment.)

    It’s easy to see the connections between the bills — in both provisions and justifications. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán described his country’s anti-***** law as ; Pushaw described Florida’s law as an “anti-grooming bill” on Twitter, “if you’re against the Anti-Grooming Bill, you are probably a groomer” — meaning a person preparing children to become targets of ***ual abuse, a slur targeting ***** people and their supporters that’s .

    This is not a one-off example. DeSantis, who has built a profile as a pugilistic culture warrior with eyes on the presidency, has steadily put together a policy agenda with strong echoes of Orbán’s governing ethos — one in which an allegedly existential cultural threat from the left justifies aggressive uses of state power against the right’s enemies.

    Most recently, there was on Disney’s special tax exemption; using regulatory powers to punish opposing political speech is . On issues ranging from to to , DeSantis has followed a trail blazed by Orbán, turning policy into a tool for targeting outgroups while entrenching his party’s hold on power.

    Orbán has recently emerged for many on the *****-friendly right. During his presidency, many observers on both sides of the aisle compared ***** to the Hungarian autocrat — and not without some justification. But , I concluded that ***** was not competent or disciplined enough to implement Orbán-style authoritarianism in America on his own. The real worry, I argued, was a GOP that took on features of Orbán’s Fidesz party.

    DeSantis’s agenda in Florida is evidence that the ********** shift in this direction is continuing, maybe even accelerating. He has shown little interest in moderation or consensus-building instead centering his governing philosophy on using policy to own the libs. While ***** may have been for the GOP’s authoritarian lurch, DeSantis is showing how it could actually be implemented in practice. The consequences for democracy in Florida, and America in general, could be dire...

        You’re going to have to do better than an “opinion piece” a “hit job” from Tayo Berto the “social justice journalist” who ascribed the public backlash on Will Smith as “racism.” That alone, discredits her from anything of value or truth in her ramblings. It also establishes what her political slant is as well as her lens on life. She isn’t a “journalist.” She’s a “Social Justice Warrior” with the “journalist” moniker. It isn’t difficult to root these charlatans out who see everything through a colored lens.

        You’ll also have to do a wee bit better in citing another author who writes opinion pieces for Ezra Freaking Klein at Vox. I mean, I have been following politics, the movers, the shakers, the people who pull the strings for decades. Ezra Klein is the last person I’d ever venture to say I’m going to get a straight news story from that isn’t 100% opinion based with a center/left, far left bias.

        Simply put, there is no there there. DeSantis isn’t what you’re ascribing to him. Lefties typically bring out all the bogey men terms come election time to keep their voters in line….fear and ignorance is a powerful tool.

          Ok? And? He was promptly canned. These folks have hundreds of people that work for them and most they never directly hire. I too can line up hundreds of skeletons across ANY CAMPAIGN that would make your head spin. I judge people based on their actions. And this was swiftly dealt with.

            You’re literally citing an article that is a complete lie in its face and has been disproven time and again! “Don’t say gay bill” doesn’t exist, has never existed and the term never appears in the bill. FFS a Governor said no, you’re not teaching kids about this crazy ****. We wonder why our public education system is in the toilet and has been for decades? Because instead of excelling in Sciences, Mathematics, Chemistry, we are allowing these sickos who wish to teach kids about lifestyles to freaking kindergartners and “Social Sciences” instead of actual education.

            Last time I’ll say it, you’re literally citing Vox! Vox! Ezra Klein! Look the man up and do your damned research. He’s about as leftie as they come.

              This is a disingenuous argument.

              Don't say gay is a shorthand way of summing up a measure in the bill, as you know.

              The actual wording of the bill: "Classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on ***ual orientation or gender identity may not occur in kindergarten through Grade 3 or in a manner that is not age appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards."

              If the aim was to improve what is being taught in the classroom, then that is what the curriculum is for. Instead they passed a law that literally outlaws any mention of ***ual orientation. In other words, don't say gay.

              Slice it up whichever way you like, it is inarguably a constraint on free speech. It literally dictates they cannot by law say anything about ***ual orientation, even if the kids in the classroom ask about it.

                  Good on them! You’d have to be a deranged sicko or a groomer to even think that it’s “ok” to teach kids 3rd grade and below anything involving “***ual orientation.” They aren’t there in school to learn about “***ual orientation.” Anything about *** should be taught in the home period. I mean hey, back in the 70s and 80s we started those alcoholics young by the beer runs to the fridge and the ol sip from Daddy’s can on the way to retrieval then why not teach 5-7 year olds and their undeveloped brains a little about my ***ual proclivities!? Which by the way was being taught by mentally deranged teachers seeking attention and acceptance from CHILDREN. Parents grew fed up with it as school has become an indoctrination center. Start em young!

                    The repeated power jabs to Fulton’s belly set up the knockout. Inoue was watching for when Fulton got into the habit of dropping his left hand to block the jab, and when the opportunity came, he came across with a hard right that put Fulton down. Basic boxing… but the basics were done by a superb talent.
