Agreed. He thinks he’s gaining supporters by suggesting the building of a prison next to Disney??[/quote]

Or levying a special tax on hotels in the area. [/quote]

Desantis is scrambling to wipe the egg off his face. Everything is so interwoven that the solution of levying/prison/second amusement park won’t be as simple as it sounds. He tried to dissolve the whole reedy creek district and then realized that you can’t pluck it out of the ground like a weed without incurring a billion dollar debt that the surrounding counties would have to cover. Naturally, they didn’t like the idea. Whatever he’s thought of, I’m pretty sure the Disney lawyers are on top of it.

He could build his prison and it would probably hurt Disney, but why would a governor go out of their way to drive away tourists from a large metropolitan area that relies on tourism? [/quote]

Why indeed! Why is he spending SO MUCH taxpayer time and money pursuing this personal grudge that isn't even helping HIM let alone the rest of the state?

Meanwhile, is he still off showboating around Ohio or has he bothered coming back to Florida to at least put on a pair of white boots and pretend he cares about Ft Lauderdale?

We still have a housing crisis and an insurance crisis here in Florida, too. But sure, sign a six week abortion ban in the middle of the night as hurricane season approaches once again. Great prioritizing. Surely there's time to hold a good old fashioned book burning before heading back out on the trail again, too.[/quote]

Are you in florida? Is the public getting weary of his grandstanding? It’s hard to believe there is a politician that I dislike as much as trump, but desantis really is making his case. I’m assuming the panhandle is rah rah desantis still, but surely the Tampa side of florida must be getting sick of him, no? [/quote]

I am in Florida. I find it hard to tell if the whole state is getting sick of him - but it feels like he's reached a tipping point where people really are just tired of this sh**. I don't really know, though. I hated him from the beginning - though there was a very brief period, during the first part of his first term, where it seemed like he was acting like a serious person, and was also making overtures to those who didn't vote for him. THAT DeSantis is certainly long gone. He is just an exhausting person, who seems profoundly unserious. And it's not like he's too stupid to be serious - he jut decided that was more political advantageous for him. That's almost what makes it worst of all - he could be doing a decent job, and being a kind of normal person, and he just flgured it was more expedient to be an evil clown.

It just makes me joyful to see Disney destroy him. That pudding-smeared idiot.[/quote]

Everything he does at this point should be viewed through the lens of a Presidential run. He's obviously decided that these actions are in his political interest in terms of winning states in the Primary.[/quote]

He's made some bad strategic calls as far as that goes. He's also taking Florida for granted, which he shouldn't.
[/quote]

It's not like he will lose FL in a Presidential run.  Now he's trying to go so far right with these social issues so he can win the other states.[/quote]

Yes, we all understand what he's doing - thank you. What we're saying is that he's doing it badly and in these dark times it brings some joy to see him so badly humiliated. No one deserves humiliation more than he does.[/quote]

Why do you think he's doing it badly?[/quote]
