@freemo Nah, he's still very bad, and I doubt he's doing anything out of principles, but populism.
@olives that could be... ill let ya know once i do some research if my opinions have changed
@freemo To give you an idea of how populist he is:
He went on about how he'd shoot drug smugglers on the border.
He went on about how he'd blockade Mexico with the navy to "stop the flow of drugs".
He went on about abolishing unanimous juries to administer the death penalty.
He wants to expand use of the death penalty outside of murder.
Censorship of books in libraries.
Censorship of views in higher education.
He talks big about all that tough on crime stuff.
Lots of talk about the border and "finishing the wall".
@olives I dont mind a strong border, though its not a priority for me... a lot of that is very concerning i agree.
When he gets up in the morning he thinks who will I screw over today to amuse and distract my base , while throwing them a few ideological bones.
Who will I target with rhetoric to incite a visceral/emotional response to quell logic & distract .
Never does he think how can i help all those that elected me to serve. What can I do to benefit them . What needs fixing not f*king .

@ech
I cant speak for florida as a whole, but my understanding was dont say gay basically meant teachers cant talk about gay and bisexuality but were free to talk about homosexuality. Should they bring it up, including their own identities, they can be fired.
