But he is getting them passed and implementing them.
1) Disney (although modified, even better version for him than originally discussed)
2) Stop Woke
3) Don't say gay
4) CRT
5) vaccine mandates
They're all passing. He doesn't care about what comes next.
Right. But I’m drawing a distinction between this current law he’s pushing and the ones you’ve listed above.
They all play well to his base but the difference is there’s no downsides to the above that will impact his politcal prospects much.
1. Disney? He figures they’ll suck It up because their massive FL infrastructure means they aren’t going anywhere.
2. Woke people aren’t voting for him or contributing to his campaign anyway
3. Gays and their ally’s aren’t voting for him or contributing to his campaign anyway
4. CRT - African Americans aren’t voting for him or contributing to his campaign anyway
5. Vaccine Mandates - pro vaccine folks aren’t voting for him or contributing to his campaign anyway.
What Desantis does care about is money, power, and his political future. He’s not going risk pissing off Fox & Murdoch who he needs help from, by opening them up to lawsuits from the left.
He might make a few moves towards getting it passed but at the first roadblock he’ll fold.
If he eventually does get elected president with a sympathetic congress what I just said is out the window but not until then. IMHO.
