DeSantis: The Authoritarian

[gwb-trading]

Just how much tax payer money is the authoritarian DeSantis going to blow driving his political agenda for national elected office.

DeSantis’ culture war isn’t just divisive, it’s also expensive
To date, Florida taxpayers have had to pay nearly $17 million to defend Ron DeSantis’ culture war agenda in the courts. He has lost far more than he’s won.

So let's break this down - Thanks to DeSantis' science-lacking anti-vax rhetoric including his surgeon general and vaccine panel clowns, Florida has one of the lowest bivalent booster rates among seniors. While Florida also has one of largest most-vulnerable population of seniors.

Florida is still leading the nation in Covid deaths since early summer on a raw and per-capita basis. This is over 6 months now.

Does anyone really think DeSantis anti-vax talking points will have a good ending for Florida?

Let's see what they have to say in Tampa.

Nope.

Data toward the end of December showed they were 13th in the nation.

Are you denying that Florida has been number 1 in the nation for Covid deaths on both a raw and per-capita basis for the past six months? Are you denying that Florida has been number 1 in the nation for Covid deaths on both a raw and per-capita basis for all three recent summers? These facts are documented mulitple times in this and other threads.

Florida has a horrible Covid record.

Sorry that the data I posted was "inconvenient" for you.

Sorry that the data I posted was "inconvenient" for you.

The data you posted is meaningless. Why don't you take a look at data where Florida stands since April 2021 when vaccines were widely available -- which is the pertinent situation being discussed in context of DeSantis' anti-vaccine stance to drive his national political narrative.

BTW -- Florida has always been in the top 5 of states with the most deaths per capita since vaccines were readily available due to their very poor rollout and lack of state support. Currently they are at number 1. SAD

The data you posted is meaningless.

Just to keep viewers grounded, let's do a quick review.

The poster, GWB, stated: "Florida is still leading the nation in Covid deaths since early summer on a raw and per-capita basis. "

To which, I posted this data:

https://www.statista.com/statistics/1109011/coronavirus-covid19-death-rates-us-by-state/

Which he now says is "meaningless."

Let the viewers decide.

I will just leave it here. GWB will chug along with some posts to try to splain' it away. We know he can do it. giggle.

Let's see how the holidays went in DeSantisLand. Oh, another boost in Covid deaths and cases to ensure Florida is probably the national Covid deaths leader in December as well. For an unbroken 7 month streak as number 1 in the nation.
