Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis Ā® said he would support the legal fund of a man who is accused of vandalizing a display by The Satanic Temple inside the Iowa Capitol on Thursday.
Michael Cassidy was charged with fourth-degree criminal mischief for knocking over and destroying a statue erected by the temple inside the capitol, The Des Moines Register first reported.
āSatan has no place in our society and should not be recognized as a āreligionā by the federal government,ā DeSantis said on X, formerly Twitter. āIāll chip in to contribute to this veteranās legal defense fund. Good prevails over evil ā thatās the American spirit.ā
As a Florida resident I have the same comment in my head whenever this idiot racist homophobic governor says shit like this, and that is ādonāt you have better shit to do?ā Because look at all of the problems in this state, meanwhile this idiot is so blinded by his fucking culture war and his religious servility or the lure of the power that these things bring to him.
Meanwhile heās got staffers making campaign videos with Nazi iconography while real Nazis are parading around the state threatening the many Jewish folks here, heās got an entire coastline thatās collapsing to unusability because not just he but his predecessor and his entire political party believe that if you ban the term āclimate changeā from political dialogue the problem will just magically go away. Then you have this fucktard interfering with our already garbage and broken school system, and interfering not in ways to make it better but much much worse, and then making college worse for the actual adults who should be allowed to make their choices on if they want to explore gender or racial studies, while also not having propaganda that literally tells them āitās okay the slaves benefitted from slaveryā forced on them because of a bunch of political assholes trying to reshape the world to be more accepting of checks notes fucking slavery.
Fuck Ron DeSantis, fuck Rick Scott, and fuck the Florida GOP, they are garbage people making a vulnerable overly populated state much much worse, the GOP doesnāt fix things, they hoard power and wealth thatās their only real purposes.
What could possibly be more important to a politician than pandering for votes?
Slandering women and minorities?
Itās too close to election season to focus on that
Thatās the main problem with the GOP, theyāre too much āpoliticianā and not enough āleaderā or āfixerā, itās all about greed and power with them rather than trying to solve problems for the people that theyāre supposed to be responsible.
Part of the problem is also conservatism/ālibertarianismā, like whatās the point of being elected to government positions when you donāt even believe the government should exist? Theyāre just saboteurs undermining efforts to drag this country into the future.
