It’s got to be horrifying, just at a basic level to degree holders from the affected colleges and universities, and then especially to the people who have made them good schools and programs. DeSantis is a fascist; I hope your family member is going to speak out.

Oh yes - the next thing will be concentration camps hidden from world view. Millions will be executed only to be found later during destruction of the Sun Reich.

You really need a history lesson in what you are comparing DeSantis to. HB 999 is not remotely close to any of what you are analogizing to. I suspect you haven't even bothered to read it, since reading words others haven't summarized for you is hard. Summaries on twitter and the Washington Post suffices to rile you up and convince you of embarrassingly dumb comparisons. What is even more ridiculous is these kinds of comparisons are entirely appropriate to be stated in workplace setting. That his disconnected from reality all this has become.

One of the first things Hitler did when taking power in 1933 was to politicize German universities, imposing their political views and purging them of communists and Jews. Books written by Jews, communists and other "undesirables" were banned.

Please use your big brain and substitute LGBTQ people and gay or gender studies, or African-Americans and Black studies, or socialists and socialism for communists and Jews...that's the comparison to be made.

Politicians who forbid the teaching and study of legitimate academic fields of study are authoritarians.

Yes, removal of physics textbooks authored by Jews and then setting up extermination camps is totally the same thing as this Bill that hasn’t even been voted on yet. How many hours a day to you manufacture all this outrage? Go do something useful with that time. But that would be hard. It’s easier to just sit around grousing.

Sorry if you don't see how the pattern starts and evolves. The rest of us do.

Actually pattern matching is a good adult trait to have. The difference is you are completely way way off into the weeds here. The comparisons aren’t even 10,000 magnitudes the same. You are comparing a regime that systemically murdered millions to a house bill concerning state funded universities that hasn’t even been voted on.

Five years from now we can bump this thread which will demonstrate the “pattern” you are seeing is no such thing. That will be true even if Ron wins the oval.

How do you function as an adult with this kind of distorted perception of risk? I mean that honestly.

Yes, there's a world of difference between a bill that hasn't been voted on and systematic elimination of millions of people based on brainwashing and authoritarian regimes. Lots of steps had to happen between the introduction of the laws and what ultimately happened, like -- changing access to information, changing education, etc. This bill's introduction is one of those steps. How can you not see what this creep is doing? Going after the educated and education as a system is Authoritarianism 101.

Have you actually read the text of the bill? Probably not. You are too busy concocting wild thoughts on how “this is the first” step and making incredibly (as in the true meaning of the word) dumb comparisons to a nazi regime that was responsible for millions of deaths. Might as well bring up pol pot and Stalin while you are at it. Those are all apt comparisons of course.

I still don’t know how people with these wild thoughts function as adults. Does your job require any qualitative comparison of any kind? If so, do you continuously fail miserably at that? The mind boggles.

Even more pointedly, Nazi troops attacked the Institute for Sexual Research in Berlin, a clinic studying homosexuality and transgenderism including performing surgeries, and burned all of its books in the street.

I have it on good authority the Florida National guard is just about to do something exactly the same. It’s well within the realm of possibility. I learned about it on Twitter.

You all keep joking. The Republican supermajority legislature is considering a bill that would eliminate the Democratic Party in Florida.

I spent two seconds reading this and it’s clearly being done for media attention and is not actually anything the Florida legislature is going to consider. How do you function as an adult without understanding these things?

Oh, yes, I forgot we’re not supposed to take Republicans seriously, or literally, or something.

If it were not for people like you who consume Twitter garbage, we wouldn’t have stunts like this. But now everything is to the lowest common denominator. A population on both sides willing to consume garbage, not read source documents, and get outraged about everything. Don’t forget to toss in a few nazi references and that’s what the quality of discourse is.

I’m sure the concentration camps of democrats in Florida are just around the corner. Any day now.

Twitter was the platform for that story. It is coming from Florida Politics. What in the article is false? Don't blame Twitter for being a platform, look at the source materials.

We certainly can understand what Germans were thinking in 1933 with your outlook and perception.

Wait, somehow it’s my fault that some a**hole elected lawmaker in Florida introduced a bill to cancel the Democratic Party?

You are reacting to it as if it’s actually going to happen. So it’s having it’s intended affect. Are you that dense to actually think that? So yes, you are the problem.

Twenty years from now, there will still be a Democratic Party in Florida. The same goes for 100.

How do you sleep at night being so triggered by all this nonsense. It must be exhausting. I guess you’ll be ready for when people start getting rounded up, because we all know that’s going to happen.

Otherwise smart people can sit on the sidelines while "the other" is put at risk. That silence equals complicity.

Because it’s preposterous. Go find something useful to do with your time and stop worrying about this. Tinfoil is best used for cooking.

This is very noble. Democrats are definitely at risk of being canceled. What’s next. Are you worried the earth is a actually flat?

Summaries on twitter and the Washington Post suffices to rile you up and convince you of embarrassingly dumb comparisons. What is even more ridiculous is these kinds of comparisons are entirely appropriate to be stated in workplace setting. That his disconnected from reality all this has become.

One of the first things Hitler did when taking power in 1933 was to politicize German universities, imposing their political views and purging them of communists and Jews. Books written by Jews, communists and other "undesirables" were banned.

Please use your big brain and substitute LGBTQ people and gay or gender studies, or African-Americans and Black studies, or socialists and socialism for communists and Jews...that's the comparison to be made.

Politicians who forbid the teaching and study of legitimate academic fields of study are authoritarians.

Even more pointedly, Nazi troops attacked the Institute for Sexual Research in Berlin, a clinic studying homosexuality and transgenderism including performing surgeries, and burned all of its books in the street.

I have it on good authority the Florida National guard is just about to do something exactly the same. It’s well within the realm of possibility. I learned about it on Twitter.

You all keep joking. The Republican supermajority legislature is considering a bill that would eliminate the Democratic Party in Florida.

I spent two seconds reading this and it’s clearly being done for media attention and is not actually anything the Florida legislature is going to consider. How do you function as an adult without understanding these things?

Oh, yes, I forgot we’re not supposed to take Republicans seriously, or literally, or something.

If it were not for people like you who consume Twitter garbage, we wouldn’t have stunts like this. But now everything is to the lowest common denominator. A population on both sides willing to consume garbage, not read source documents, and get outraged about everything. Don’t forget to toss in a few nazi references and that’s what the quality of discourse is.

I’m sure the concentration camps of democrats in Florida are just around the corner. Any day now.

Wait, somehow it’s my fault that some a**hole elected lawmaker in Florida introduced a bill to cancel the Democratic Party?

You are reacting to it as if it’s actually going to happen. So it’s having it’s intended affect. Are you that dense to actually think that? So yes, you are the problem.

Twenty years from now, there will still be a Democratic Party in Florida. The same goes for 100.

When people tell you who they are, believe them. Why do you think the GOP wouldn't try to enact this, by law, fat or other means?

Because it’s preposterous. Go find something useful to do with your time and stop worrying about this. Tinfoil is best used for cooking.

The Germans said it was preposterous in 1933 as well. Go figure.

It’s got to be horrifying, just at a basic level to degree holders from the affected colleges and universities, and then especially to the people who have made them good schools and programs. DeSantis is a fascist; I hope your family member is going to speak out.

Oh yes - the next thing will be concentration camps hidden from world view. Millions will be executed only to be found later during destruction of the Sun Reich.

Twitter was the platform for that story. It is coming from Florida Politics. What in the article is false? Don't blame Twitter for being a platform, look at the source materials.

How do you sleep at night being so triggered by all this nonsense. It must be exhausting. I guess you’ll be ready for when people start getting rounded up, because we all know that’s going to happen.

Otherwise smart people can sit on the sidelines while "the other" is put at risk. That silence equals complicity.

This is very noble. Democrats are definitely at risk of being canceled. What’s next. Are you worried the earth is a actually flat?

No, because I believe in science.

My kids are not going in these majors and gender studies etc are some of the useless majors anyway. You won't be able to get a job doing that.
