Well the National Guard is not enough for this state, according to the republican legislators and especially DeSantis.
This man makes Trump looks like a Bubble and he is trying to pop him with the RWNJ.
Everyday it is something. We now have a bill on the table that is “ Don’t say They”. Their interpretation of teachers and students misusing pronouns but the latest is He, being Commander in Chief of the Florida State Military. (Just in case I guess he doesn’t get voted in as President). That State Military will be in place for whoever succeds him as Governor. They seem to get worse and worse . Scott was bad, this guy is worse.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – As lawmakers in Tallahassee consider Gov. Ron DeSantis’ budget proposal this session, they will be also be deciding whether to approve a steep funding increase establishing Florida’s own branch of the military.

“The Florida State Guard will be comprised of Floridians, and it will be assigned to assist and help only Floridians,” DeSantis said in a news conference last June. “It will not be subject to be mobilized by the federal government, and the federal government cannot impose policies or penalties on the Florida State Guard.”

Projection: He is not providing enough for the people of Florida...All in the name of Freedom and he is spreading that BS all across the country. No doubt he is going to run for President. He is campaigning right now under the banner of a book tour.
I wonder if his next move is to impose a draft for the New State Military? It makes me wonder if the nutjobs like Margie Taylor will move to his corner soon if she thinks Florida wants a divorce from the United States.
We have red tide. What is he doing about it? Nothing.
We have people from Ian living under bridges.
We have unaffordable house insurance
We have unaffordable housing.
We have people being cut from food through lack of SNAP
We have no expansion of Medicaid.
We are about to have no background or registration for firearms.
The Guardian warns to ...” Beware of this man”

DeSantis won reelection in Florida in November, and is building his second term on even more restrictive legislation. He has seized significant control of the state’s biggest employer, Disney; fired an elected state attorney he disagreed with; and engineered a “hostile takeover” of a historically liberal arts college to turn it into a model of conservative higher education.
New laws in Florida proposed this week would introduce a six-week abortion ban, allow the carry of firearms without a need for training or permits; and further curb freedoms in education and for the LBGTQ+ community.
It’s a message he hopes will resonate on a national scale as prepares to challenge Donald Trump for the Republican nomination. Trump will visit Iowa on Monday.

True enough he has no personality or one of a wet dishrag but he is telling all the wingers and MAGA crowds everything they want to hear.
