I would not even waste time worrying about it at this point. Legitimate national elections are a now a thing of the past in this country. The best you can do is live in a deep red state that can and will nullify the coming wave of unconstitutional laws, mandates and executive orders out of Washington. Perhaps several will even band together and secede from this banana republic that used to be our country.
That's my plan. And the entertainment value of the "DeSantis is a deep state plant" is pretty high right now. It's gone from way out there on the crazy fringe to way up in your face
Watching him DESTROY disney and the woke teachers unions (CRT is illegal here in all schools and work) was just him pandering I suppose.
His policies have created a surplus in the state budget. DeSantis pared it back a bit this year, but next fiscal year's spending plan is still the largest in state history — $109.9 billion. It's filled with federal stimulus money and higher-than-expected revenue. There are more dollars for teachers and students, funds for a state guard, and it'll start with $16 billion in reserves.
The budget also uses an October cut to the state gas tax, plus several sales tax holidays, to save Floridians an estimated $1.24 billion through the next fiscal year.
