This is from yesterday, In Jacksonville, in response to the racist that killed three people in Dollar General, then himself.

He should have started with himself, then moved to the others.
Better yet, grab Ronnie for a tag team and start with him.
Another Trump loving suicide shooter.
Stochastic terrorism.
If 1/2 those people voted, he wouldn't be governor any longer.
Making DeSatan uncomfortable and drowning him out with boos is great and all, but what really would get to him? Losing an election.
The turn out in the 2022 election in FL was a pathetic 50%.
Cue up the endless excuses of why people can't vote, and yet 7.7 million people were able to, so clearly it isn't impossible.
boo him at the ballot box
Booing DeSantis is so hot right now.
‘Pubs need more of this.
The problem with delighting in DeSantis's humiliation is that there isn't a Republican to root for in his place.
If DeSantis fails... we get Trump, or Vivek ramoswami, or Mike Pence, or Chris Christie, or any of these other ghouls.
there isn't a Republican to root for
FTFY
Hmm, should i have the fascist, or fascist-lite? Tough call...
They can all be booed.
DeSantis is not better than trump. Is just as pretty and childish. He seems less volatile but equally dangerous. Let them know they are not wanted. If trump got boos from the start, we wouldn't be in this situation.
No one gives a fuck about DeSantis, including his base. The only relevant GOP candidate is Trump. It's absolutely impossible anyone else wins the primary unless drops out, gets disqualified, or dies.
Alright, hear me out, I hate him for how capricious he was but Christine is heads and shoulders above the rest of those clowns. He would actually be competent in the job.
Yes. I trust Christie to at least hire people who are reasonably competent and weren't just people he saw on TV
Wow its almost like all republicans are ghouls.
It's sad to me that Pence seems like a reasonable candidate in this list.
Pence enabled Trump's presidency more than any of them. He was with Trump every step of the way until the very end.
His sole act of defiance was that he bravely ... didn't participate in a coup?!
And even after that he has pledged to support Trump for the presidency AGAIN even if Trump is convicted.
I didn't say I liked him, but just that he's not as bad as the other ones.
It's just Trump. None of the others in the primary are even close. There are really two things to be concerned about:
- Enough people vote for Trump even though at this point he's probably been sentenced, which I thinks is pretty unlikely given that he already lost to Biden and incumbents rarely lose. The ones that lost in the last 40 years have been Republicans.
- Vivek. He's enough of an outsider and flips like Simone Biles. He's also the most reasonable counter to the primary argument against Biden - age. That said, in a general I really doubt he's got a real shot.
flips like Simone
That mental picture made me spill my coffee, too funny...
My prediction: Trump wins the nomination, and DeSantis starts his own party and siphons Republican votes, ala Ross Perot. (Or the reverse, Trump loses the nomination and starts his own party and siphons R votes.)
I can't see it. He doesn't have the balls to go on his own. He tries this and the party never forgets. Perot wasnt a politician.
The ones that lost in the last 40 years have been Republicans.
Economy was doing well in 2012 and 1996. The economy is not doing well right now. The last time an incumbent Democrat ran for relection during an economic downturn was Carter.
You are also forgetting that the GOP has been hard at work the past few years making sure certain people are not going to be able to vote and even if they do that the state can override it.
I'm not forgetting that at all, I'm saying that they are so actually unpopular that even voter suppression they've done and continue to do will likely not be enough in the current conditions.
Also, in a traditional sense, we can't really say the economy is not doing well. Record job growth/creation, record low unemployment, strong market, etc. The places the economy is not doing well are related to wealth inequality which is not solely, but primarily a result of republican trickle down policy for the last 40 years and them eroding the middle class at every turn.
At basically any other time, Biden's presidency would be considered a rampant success, especially after the sheer destruction of the last admin. If he doesn't coast to reelection, I'd probably blame that primarily on the amount of propaganda that starts at Fox and manages to propagate out.
Just be careful. It's easy to see all of the political discourse occurring online and become convinced that they don't stand a chance. Even in the last election, an incredibly concerning number of people still voted for Trump and will absolutely do so again.
Unless the man is disqualified, drops out, or dies, it's still going to be a bitter fight just like 2020. We just have to pray that the tendency for middle of the aisle voters to flip flop every time the economy takes a downturn is reduced this time around given all of the controversy around Emperor Cheeto.
Christie is less of a ghoul but still not great
The cut off that lady who said something along the lines of "Don't boo, bullets don't have a party!" What a bullshit statement.
Yeah bullets don't have a party but the assholes pulling the trigger and putting the bullets in their hands do
“Don’t boo, bullets don’t have a party!”
Wait, wait, wait... aren't they the ones that say guns don't kill people do? Now it's the bullet's fault?
I could watch this all day if it weren’t under such sad circumstances
Haha, I couldn't hear a word he said over the "boos".
I was saying "Boo-urns"
I'm starting to think people don't like this DeSantis guy
People don't like DeSantis and anyone who likes DeSantis has abandoned their humanity.
YOUR POLICIES CAUSED THIS! THESE DEATHS ARE ON YOUR HANDS!
About. Fucking. Time. I've spent the last decade watching people openly talk about establishing a white christian ethnostate in America and the supposed "opposition" response was to make sure to be polite and to assume good faith. Fuck that. This dude is proud about how he wants to kill me and everyone like me. He moved to that level, let's engage him on that level.
Dude's part of the problem and either doesn't know it or doesn't care. Each makes them a terrible person.
Got a non imgur link? I'm not turning off my adblocking for them
Yeah they must have some break logic in there, but I saw all the calls they’re making and it’s frightening… Facebook, scorecardresearch, lots of junk.
Last I checked imgur has a ridiculous amount of trackers and 3rd party scripts. Not at all worth it to watch a video or look at a photo. It seems they really upped the count about a year ago.
Does uBlock Origin support your web browser? Even Mozilla's addon website highly recommends it.
Ive never had imgur demand i turn off ad blocking?
Beautiful.
I don't even care if this is real. It just feels good to read.
