In Florida, DeSantis’s plans for colleges rattle some academics

[DavidGraeberBullSheetJobs]

You see everything as “marketing” and red team versus blue team bullshit. Absolutely despicable. Willfully ignorant and blinkered.

Yep. The switch is largely a myth. What we do have now I do think is a shift and that’s college educated voters shifting dem. That used to be a gop advantage.

Because facts matter to educated people.

Because facts matter to educated people.

Well. And people don’t like being painted as racists. the efforts to make that stick by Dems to gop has been in high gear for a while now and they’re succeeding.

The poster above has somehow forgotten or is perhaps too young to recall the days when Florida, firmly in the grasp of full Democratic control, mandated that every single high school - public OR private - had to teach a course called “Americanism vs. Communism”.
Our current Governor wasn’t even born yet, and Republicans had been shut out of the Governor’s Mansion since Reconstruction until a one off dude named Claude Kirk was elected on what some called a fluke.

Mom...you understand that Republicans were “dirty bastards” in the South from the 1860’s forward to the passing of the Civil Rights of 1964 legislation, which served as the turning point for the GOP in the old South. “Americanism vCommunism” Post WW2 was pretty common in this nation back in those McCarthy days...mandating a school course might be a little extreme but certainly not that fR out of the public’s stream of consciousness.

That rattle you are hearing is DeathSantis's brain.
