[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]WTF is wrong with DeSantis?  He's exempting gas stoves from sales tax but NOT electric stoves?

https://www.marketwatch.com/story/ron-desantis-likely-presidential-candidate-pushes-ban-on-florida-sales-tax-for-gas-appliances-11675287926

So electric stoves are [b]"woke liberal bullshit"[/b] now or something?  LOTS of people have electric stoves.  Many of us don't have gas hookups, many of us live in apartments where there are only outlets for electric stoves.

This is complete idiocy on his part.  He is absolutely deranged with these games he's playing.[/quote]

First of all, he never said any of the crap you're attributing to him.  It is you, in fact, who sounds completely deranged with your overwrought reaction.  [/quote]

Nope.  You aren't paying attention.  He literally passed an "anti woke" bill.  He's attacking CRT and many other things and calling them out as "woke."  Connect the dots.  It's all part of a major theme he's pushing.[/quote]

Psst:  I am fully aware of everything DeSantis is doing and I support it.  CRT deserves to be attacked, as do many other parts of the woke agenda.  [/quote]

Of course, his racist pandering is targeted to people just like you who want Blacks to shut up and stay in their place. [/quote]

DP (who is a Democrat) - this is a reductive view and is a perfect example of why swing voters are turned off by progressive rhetoric. Disagreeing with the DEI/“woke” policies and orthodoxy that have been pushed over the past few years, especially in blue areas, doesn’t make someone a racist. It’s bad logic and also not a winning message. [/quote]

DP Please republicans woke orthodoxy is racism. Everyone knows it. Look at Reagan the patron saint of conservatism. He just appealed to the racists. Reagan launched his official campaign at a county fair just outside Philadelphia, Mississippi, the town still notorious in the national imagination for the Klan lynching of civil rights volunteers James Chaney, Andrew Goodman, and Michael Schwerner 16 years earlier. He also placed flowers on the graves of the Waffen-SS.

Some of Reagan quotes.
“If an individual wants to discriminate against Negroes or others in selling or renting his house, it is his right to do so.”
“I believe in states’ rights.”
“the South shall rise again.”
“Chicago welfare queen” 
“strapping young buck.”

Reagan, who was then the governor of California, gave his opinion of the African delegates to the United Nations who voted against the United States’ position that Taiwan, rather than the People’s Republic of China, should receive U.N. recognition. “To see those, those monkeys from those African countries—damn them, they’re still uncomfortable wearing shoes!”

Lee Atwater about Reagan’s Wallace strategy

“ You start out in 1954 by saying, “N—, n—, n—.” By 1968 you can’t say “n—” -- that hurts you. Backfires. So you say stuff like forced busing, states’ rights and all that stuff. You’re getting so abstract now, you’re talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you’re talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is, blacks get hurt worse than whites. And subconsciously maybe that is part of it. I’m not saying that. But I’m saying that if it is getting that abstract, and that coded, that we are doing away with the racial problem one way or the other. You follow me—because obviously sitting around saying, “We want to cut taxes and we want to cut this,” is much more abstract than even the busing thing, and a hell of a lot more abstract than “N—, n—.” So anyway you look at it, race is coming on the back burner.

This is the Republican Party today. There is no difference between Trump and Reagan. People who are against “wokeness” just want to call people the n- word and be praised for it. [/quote]
