I'm sure they do, just like they were outraged by critical race theory being taught in elementary school.

I'm not arguing that Desantis is a bad politician. He understands how to create a boogeyman and then get people outraged over it better than any politician alive.



For me, it was the opposite. I see this stuff at work and online and am angry about it. I look out at the political landscape and see that all the left is supporting this racist garbage, and I see the right is more concerned with oil pipelines and lowering taxes. Desantis is the only one who sticks out that is doing anything about this.


>I see this stuff at work and online and am angry about it.

Well yeah, that's the whole point of their information machine.

>I look out at the political landscape and see that all the left is supporting this racist garbage, and I see the right is more concerned with oil pipelines and lowering taxes.

Who is now? The right only has the culture war to talk about. Tucker is on nightly raging about identity politics and whatever they want you to be upset about. I have two Democrat Senators and a Democrat rep I get emails from and they basically only talk about job creation, protecting the environment, and creating a fair tax system.

Your understanding of 'left' politics is just what right-wing media has told you it is.


Have you considered that your understanding of left wing politics is what the left wing media told you?

Dude you're arguing with said he saw it happening at work and it concerned him. You pretended like that didn't happen. Why won't you acknowledge your fellow man's agency?


I don’t believe that he sees graphic depictions of gay sex in elementary schools at work.


Your comment makes the assumption that its all a scam and that the people voting for him over it are not intelligent enough to form their own opinions. That's a pretty arrogant assumption. What if the people voting for him are intelligent functioning members of society, have genuine concerns about the topic at hand and feel that Desantis best represents those concerns? Just because this is not a topic of concern for you does not make it any less of one for others. Everyone votes on different issues.
