    I am very honestly surprised. I would have thought he would have touted this as saving children from the woke mind virus or whatever.

        Exactly. He hasn’t exactly been a supporter of it, and he knows it’s a certain loser, legally. He often touts phrases like “parents’ choice”, and this bill would also go against that. People forget that just because Desantis may be a shitstain doesn’t mean he always toes the GOP line.

      $10 says this was staged due to how incredibly desperate DeSantis is for a win, especially with the generation that will soon be voting him out of politics in his upcoming failed bid at the US Senate.

      Everything about DeSantis is stage-managed political theater.
