Time will tell

OP here. I want to hear more about what he’s doing right! I get it, the media loves to talk about his eschewing of Covid guidance, Martha vineyard stunts, and the theater of his “dont say gay” bill—but these are the “culture war” type things. I’m hoping to learn more about the positives ways he’s improved life for the people of his state.

OP, if you're serious, here are some pointers.

Which other Governor...


Focused on protecting the elderly from Day 1 (the opposite of Cuomo)

Kept schools safely open most of 2021-2022, improving the lives of thousands of kids and their parents.

Prevented the massive riots that took place in so many other states, protecting the lives of an untold number of minorities.

Treated adults like adults, so that for example they could open and visit, safely, shops and restaurants.

Want more?

Is this some kind of hideous joke?

He lied about Covid data and Florida has the highest rate of senior deaths. He had a dangerous surgeon general. Both made it entirely political.

I would never retire there with sky high housing costs. The restrictions on immigration make it tough to get things done around the house. My MIL has waited a year to get her driveway done. They can’t get yard workers. No thanks!

Also fired the woman creating the public data regarding COVID. Didn’t like the way she reported it . Changed it to make him look better.

No, that's not true. She was fired because she changed the website repeatedly when her superior told her not to. She then illegally accessed the system after she was fired.

DeSantis' covid response looks "crazy" to liberals only because blue states went so extreme with their responses. DeSantis just followed the pandemic play book that was in place, before people like Cuomo and Whitmer panicked in spring of 2020.

Interesting b/c my friends in public health do not think his conduct was most becoming. Cuomo and Whitmer had to taken drastic steps as their states were epicenters for the virus. They say DeSantis operated in an uneven, inequitable manner, especially in the early days of the vaccine distribution when he prioritized donors over more vulnerable population groups.

Wait. Your "friends in public health" are not aware that Cuomo's decision to send elders with Covid to nursing homes full of older, vulnerable people resulted directly in THOUSANDS of deaths?

Truly equitable, that was.

Btw, the "donor" thing is BS too. Florida gave earlier access to vaccines to populations based on their actual risk, not on their skin color (or their $$).

He prioritized people with means. Poor, uninsured people who were high risk could not access the vaccine without a note from a doctor, which costs hundreds of dollars.

BS. He prioritized seniors, first and foremost. Your claim is a complete lie.

Sure, he said at a press conference at the Villages it was what he was going to do. What actually happened:

"Florida Leads Nation in Number of COVID-19 Deaths of Nursing Home Residents and Staff"
--The Sunshine State continues to be far below the industry standard of 75 percent staff vaccination and the national average of 63.5 percent.
--Only seven percent, or approximately 50 of Florida’s nearly 700 nursing homes, have met the industry standard and vaccinated at least 75 percent of their staff.

Still wondering why you did pay for your brother to get that note from the doctor. Trying to blame your lack of caring about your brother on a governor is not a good look.

I just found out today that he is 44. Born in 1978. I really thought he was in his 60s.

Desantis is a total common sense leader. Of course that’s kryptonite for the mentally ill white liberals

How will you decide who to support between that stable genius Trump and your total common sense leader DeSantis? I hope your head doesn't explode.

Both are generational phenomenons

Trump is a once in a century phenomenon

so DiSantis is literally for government intervention with business, aka Socialism in GOP parleance.

In parlance, Florida has positive population growth. Blue areas, not so much.

What is Florida Democratic Party doing?

Posturing, failing, and trying to middle of the road everything when the working class needs real help.

I’m curious what DeSantis is doing for the middle class. Surely you will answer. I just wish FL would institute state income tax and stop begging for the Fed to bail them out.

You mean so the wealthy will keep paying your state's high tax rates rather than leave and not pay any tax?
