More Fascism from Rhonda Santis: Florida Launches Investigation Into University After DeSantis Pick Doesn’t Become Finalist To Be President
- Thread starter NoleATL
- Start date
"the supremacy of both the nation and the single, powerful leader over individuals "... Rhonda doesn't get who she wants so she launches an investigation...
So investigations are fascism?
An actual Fascist wouldn't launch an investigation...they'd arrest and send to a concentration camp 😆
I mean: if you believe that a mouth-breathing troglodyte like Randy Fine is capable of leading an institute of higher education, all the power to you.
Narrator: he’s not.
Background of the three finalists for the record:
So…yeah…an “investigation” is a wee bit strong-handed.
Interesting how a lib uses a female name to try to take down a man. How progressive.

I always thought unlawfully imprisoning people was fascist.
Installing a political crony to a position in which the job demands a little more than owning libs on Twitter or on the statehouse floor is certainly suspect.
I used the term “strong-handed” for the record btw
Fair point....I think "strong handed" is a better desciption than "fascist".
Which get's thrown around way too much...
This board doesn't really have many woke progressives or maga types. A lot of team playing bicker-over-everything-political types, however.
Kind of agree with the "strong handed" take by 95hawk. But launching an investigation isn't the same as arresting your political opponents and throwing them in jail...which is basically the "fascist" way of doing things. If launching investigations is fascism then I think we have a severe "fascism" problem in the U.S....MAGA is literally making the same argument in regards to "crossfire hurricane"......
I just think the "Fascist" label get's thrown around so inappropriately and often that it's ridiculous at this point.

I agree. Hyperbole is ridiculous today. However, I would argue a lot of Trump/MAGA and DeSantis crap is pretty ridiculous in its own right. No, it doesn’t rise to the level of “Taliban is MAGA, MAGA is Taliban,” but that doesn’t mean it’s not downright awful.
I’ve seen the term “desecrations” used by some poster. Lol. While that is a new one for me when used in that context, I’m perfectly okay with it when characterizing the Trump-inspired nonsense we see today.
Of course it is/can be but I don't see anywhere that is a requirement...
And here's the equivocation, right on time. Nice work!
Looks like Iowa and Florida have another thing in common. Controversial University president hirings.
You know what he’s saying. DeSantis is wrongfully using his power in a way that has fascist overtones.
He's just trolling... or he's not smart. And, I previously thought he was smart but misguided... the jury is out now
If Fine had been a finalist, do you think there would be any investigation with everything else remaining the same?
Look, unless it happens in exactly the same way it happened in the 1930's we're going to call it a difference of opinion until the killings start. Then we'll pretend to be surprised.
Well that's how it happened in Germany. One day Jews and Germans were walking hand in hand down the street and then BOOM, concentration camps.
I have little doubt that the "investigation" was initiated to stall the process and pressure them to hire Fine as the new president. He'll likely end up with the job, and it will likely come with an absurdly, indefensibly high salary. No different than when that dickhead Corcoran got appointed as interim Prez at New College, earning a salary comparable to the Presidents at FSU & UCF). Oh, and New College is the size of a small high school...about 650 students.
Those fiscally conservative Republicans.....

Seems like a reasonable requirement otherwise the term "fascist" is pretty meaningless.
Only after he wasn't selected for the post. So lame that "elections are rigged" when you lose and "launching investigations" when you aren't selected, etc., has become the norm. Talk about cry babies.
She? What is this? Heterohate? Pronoun prejudiced much?
Are you quoting Hitler? Be very careful. You wouldn’t want to end up on Moms for Liberty’s mailing list. 😏
My Dad fought in a war against REAL Fascists and the phrase gets thrown around by people who would have been lined up and shot by those real fascists.
They’ll stop using the term when it’s no longer useful to the left.
We live in a age of hyperbole...
Why folks think exaggerating to the point of ridiculousness strengthens an argument is beyond me...
It’s a nice diversion to keep the DeSantis supporters from addressing the real issue, though, isn’t it?
Nah, it’s a convenient diversion. Focus on the labels instead of the real issue.
At least you gave a half-hearted objection. Others haven’t and will not, but will instead give a like to every post complaining about the use of “fascism” and go on their merry way.
Why not take away that dodge? Hyperbole is never good strategy in a debate.
I wouldn’t have used the label as I think the incident is inappropriate enough and is yet the latest example of why RDS isn’t fit for any office.
But, it’s not that far of a stretch to use the term when describing DeSantis and his governing philosophy.
