Don't turn into Jimmy, Tony (timestamped). Think of minorities losing voting rights and due process, women losing body autonomy, hundreds of thousands extra dead from a pandemic, thousands of dead from hundreds of drone strikes, DACA kids getting deported, more toddler cages, reversing climate action....etc..
Let's take a look at who is really is an authoritarian wanna-be -- it's your governor of Florida. 'Authoritarian-curious' Ron DeSantis is 'acting like Fidel Castro': Florida prosecutor https://www.rawstory.com/ron-desantis-authoritarian/ Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is a budding "authoritarian," according one of the state's county prosecutors. The Republican governor is widely perceived as a less maniacal Donald Trump, but Palm Beach County state attorney Dave Aronberg told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that DeSantis displayed a number of troubling signs -- such as calling for the arrest of Dr. Anthony Fauci. "This is the same governor ordered our flags to be flown half staff when Rush Limbaugh died and ordering 1 million doses of hydroxychloroquine after then-president Trump touted it as a cure for COVID," Aronberg said. "It was not, and now Florida is stuck with 1 million doses of a drug that no hospital wants, but that's the kind of thing that plays well in the MAGA base." "The governor has no power to make an arrest or order an arrest of Dr. Fauci," Aronberg added. "Even if he's elected president he won't have that power, at least not in a functioning democracy. I don't think DeSantis is an authoritarian, but I think he's authoritarian-curious." One area of concern is the revival of a World War II-era civilian militia that he would control, the prosecutor said. "He's starting his own little personal militia, that was announced a couple of weeks ago, hundreds of people under his control and now you have this, threatening to jail one of his political opponent. It does resemble some of the socialist dictators he loves to condemn. He's acting more like Fidel Castro cosplay, trying on the clothes to see if they will fit. Of course, the danger in all this is leading some of his most radical supporters to engage in violence. Dr. Fauci has already received multiple death threats over the past year, and there was a guy prosecuted in July by the feds for making horrific threats against Dr. Fauci. Hopefully this rhetoric will be toned down as we gear up towards 2024, [but] I don't think so."
From your article: The Republican governor is widely perceived as a less maniacal Donald Trump, but Palm Beach County state attorney Dave Aronberg told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" Widely perceived, says "Rawstory" interviewing PBC state attorney. I guess, because he is widely perceived as a less maniacal Trump, that must be why migration to Florida is at record highs, people are visiting it at levels higher than pre-pandemic ones, he is solidly going to win re-election (even the Democratic gubernatorial commission pulled out supporting his competition) and the man enjoys some of the highest governor approval levels in the country. Because he is perceived as a "less maniacal Trump." More like you and those like you are solidly in the idiot camp and don't get it. And why you're so interested in talking about him everywhere - even in a Biden thread.
"Some of the highest governor approval levels in the country" LOL DeSantis is in the bottom half of the list in all the recent surveys. https://morningconsult.com/2021/11/18/phil-scott-approval-vermont-polling-senate-race/
You're giving the approval ratings of the governor in their own state. I'm giving the national popularity of the governor (which is what I said). https://morningconsult.com/governor-rankings/
Note the big warning at the top of the page This page is no longer being updated This is old data your are pushing. Look at the most recent surveys. P.S. -- Do people outside the governor's state vote for him/her? The popularity in the state is what counts in the next gubernatorial election.
