Good thing Florida is the stand your ground state
Buh buh buh what happened to letting the people choose
It’s pretty cool when your governor can send people to come get you. Come on, Ronnie. Let’s have some pudding, you little bitch. You’re out of power in 2027. Let’s dance.
The guy supposedly won by like 15 points a few years ago (after barely winning previously). I know it’s unbelievable (along with Abbott’s fairly big win in Texas while killing people with power outages). But either they’re rigging elections (more projection, what a surprise!), or massive numbers of deplorables are flooding the state (and/or sane people are escaping).
That said, fuck 'em. This kind of pathetic, cruel, lawless behavior will continue escalating until there are real consequences. Wish we had a ruthless DOJ to harass them back at every step.
Based on what rule of law? Can whoever sent the police be sued?
As the story stands, we probably don’t have anything showing intent to suppress free speech, which is what I supposed to lawsuit would be based on. It’s possible that there’s information we don’t know yet, or that isn’t written in the article, but at the moment I don’t think a lawsuit would get very far.
This is one of those situations where it feels like you ought to be able to sue, but maybe the best remedy is by voting in different state-level politicians.
lol
Civil disobedience is a valid tool in a state with rule of law. If it’s a failing state where law is applied selectively, you jump ship or you buy protection, where the latter route can get really expensive and isn’t a guarantee.
The power exchanges in Stalins USSR show that no one was ever safe, including the key committee members. So people who want to create a fascist regime of some sort will be in for a rude awakening when they find that their money only goes so far.
Edit the movie Death of Stalin is not a serious historical perspective, but it shows a lot of the dangers of creating conditions for a police state
Just when I think this rat fucker can’t get any lower, he proves me wrong.
