Well, the lesson hereth is stop believing any political party gonna be your hero.

That vaunted DeSantis some people been touting like a miracle Trump with all the smelly parts removed--he prided himself on the efficiency of his statewide vaccine distribution network.

Not one politician anywhere had the guts to say "stop, listen, think."

The ones without dirty hands have shown us useless flapping hands.

Better find a plan that doesn't involve voting the same brands of morons into office.

I think DeSantis saw the light at a point and has been kicking down mask mandates, vax mandates, putting an end to constant testing and sending kids to school— the works, ever since, hasn’t he? I think he’s a real white hat, stand up guy.

Quite a lot of people started seeing the light after the fucking door and windows blew out and it was hard to miss the glare.

It's important not to forget that Florida *did* close up a lot of things. They weren't some magical land of freedom the whole time -- they just relinquished on it all sooner. The unfortunate reality is that we're stuck choosing the least objectionable option that has a chance of winning, not the individual who'd actually do the job and defend our liberties in the process.

You can't get elected without big buck behind you and them bucks all come with hooks in 'em.

Yeah, you can count the good Republicans on two hands. DeSantis did make the monoclonal antibodies available throughout the state until Biden cut them off.
