If the goal is to destroy art culture in Florida, I guess the Russian psyops have done their work.
Enjoy brutalist, colorless Florida in a couple of generations.
Is that what happens to architecture when fully submerged in salt water ?
Brutalism? You wish. Corporate style.
I think at that point you wander into whatever the architectural equivalent of Zombie Formalism is.
Because arts uplift, and misery is a huge part of the engine of fascism
Well adjusted societies have less temptation for it on the pro side, and a lot stronger and more inspired resistance to it from the anti side. It needs to breed sickness in order to really take hold and thrive.
I doubt DeSantis has that much of an organized plan for it, of course; I think it’s simple mean spirited ness on his part that he happened to see some vulnerable people that he can punish.
Art is also political, and more popular with open minded people than regressives. Fascists have historically hated art.
Not entirely true, they can't get enough of art that is exactly like the things they already like. A boring landscape that could have been painted a century earlier? They love that shit.
But if you dare try to get creative (with message or medium) they will demand your head.
What a shit hole
Fascism.
The Nazis punished intellectuals and artists.
This high heeled tough guy wannabe is the living embodiment of poor and spiteful decision making. Nothing he does helps anybody. It's fascinating really. Everyday I wake up I count my blessings I escaped that shit hole state
Fascist 101:
Blame minorities
Get to Power
Make things worse for everyone
Blame minorities harder
Manifest more power
...
run on "government bad"
get elected
govern poorly
"told you so"

Yeah, I get it. When has the world ever become a better place when nations fund artworks?
Look at this Florentine shit:
That is what you get when a nation's leader becomes a patron of the arts. Is that sort of smut what you want our kids seeing?
Next thing theyll do it paint porn on the roof of the Cistine chapel, however you spell it
You’re saying a cis teen painted this chapel? Woke agenda!
And it took him like 30 years.
The true horror is that this is some Greek smut. We need good, clean Christian nudity for our money.
Fucking Aristophanes... getting famous just because the Athenian government wasted money on dramatic competitions.

Desantis hates culture.
Republicans hate culture
“When I hear the word culture, I reach for my gun”
Seems that's a slight mangling of the line, but it's a common Nazi trope

Whoa there pal.
What part of driving pickup trucks with giant tires through the mud while drinking cases of ~~bud light ~~ Modelo and wearing jorts and a tank top with a picture of Rambo Trump firing footballs from a grenade launcher isn't culture?
Culture cuts through their slimey veneer
It's not that.
Outraging the left fires his base.

You can't defund social welfare programmes without defunding the arts first. To defund healthcare you have to defund the arts. To defund schools, you first have to defund the arts.
You know where this is going.
The arts are the canary and it is lying dead at the bottom of the cage.
To defund healthcare you have to defund the arts.
To defund schools, you first have to defund the arts.
Why are the arts required to be done first, or at all? I'm not seeing it. They seem separate, and doable in any order.
That's a fair question.
The arts are seen as a luxury and a frippery. They are also seen as elitist.
If you want to defund public services and remain popular, the playbook is to remove the arts first. That way you are demonstrating the order of needs.
What a fucking shithead
How much you wanna bet that somebody tied to the arts recently emasculated Ron in public? Pulling funding from a huge swath of people over a petty personal embarrassment is a very on-brand move for DeSantis.

I hope some of the "artists" that make those photos of "trump" with shirt off and a fake chiseled, glistening physique get unintentionally caught up in this grant cancellation - you know these images, the ones they stare at for hours while locked in the bathroom thinking about how straight they are.

When does his tenure as governor end? He can’t run again so guess he tries for congress.
When does his tenure as governor end?
He's obligated to take a two year hiatus from his current position at the end of eight years. But he's free to run for another office during the downtime.
That's why Rick Scott became a Senator after his gubernatorial tenure.
Florida and her meatball will be textbook evidence of a failed state swallowed by the Ocean and drowned by social conservatism terrorism.

What a miserable fuck DeSanctimonius is
Uhhh, isn't "the arts" (namely Disney and Universal) like, the main money maker of Florida? Not a lot of reasons to go there beyond that, beaches, and the fact that it doesn't snow.
