Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is furious, absolutely sickened by the Nazi rallies that took place in the state of Florida this past weekend near Orlando But of course, he's not actually mad at the people that were out there with their Nazi flags and Nazi symbolism. No.

In case you didn’t hear, there’s a Nazi rally in Orlando today.

The rise of authoritarianism, book bans, armed insurrectionists, demagogues, disinformation.

America in 2022 has a lot more in common with 1930s Germany than many are willing to admit.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has refused to condemn a Nazi rally that took place in Orlando over the weekend, claiming that those asking him to condemn the Nazi rally are trying to “smear” him.

DeathSantis is mad that people are commenting on Nazis in Florida. DeathSantis needs these Nazis to ger re-elected and Deathsantis does not want us mentioning the fact that he likes Nazis




The first rule of the MAGA movement: Never condemn white supremacists.

In 2016, then-candidate Donald Trump in an interview with Jake Tapper refused to disavow former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke, who had publicly endorsed his campaign. (Trump later improbably claimed his refusal to disavow Duke was due to a faulty earpiece.) As president, Trump famously insisted there were “very fine people” on both sides in the 2017 clash between protesters and neo-Nazis in Charlottesville. And during his 2020 debate with Joe Biden, Trump repeatedly avoided condemning the white supremacist group Proud Boys, instead telling them to “stand back and stand by.”,,,,,

On Monday, CNN reported that DeSantis “lashed out at those who called on him to condemn Nazi demonstrations that had taken place over the weekend near Orlando, accusing his political opponents of trying to ‘smear me as if I had something to do with it.’ ” He insisted he would not be “playing their game.”.....

At a time of rising antisemitism and just weeks after another terrorist attack on a synagogue in Texas, DeSantis’s reaction is stunning but not surprising. At its most basic level, the MAGA movement has always been about white supremacy. Its members have induced hysteria that foreigners and non-White Americans are taking over the country and marginalizing White Americans. This sentiment was central to Trump’s anti-immigrant rhetoric, his sympathy for white militia groups and his fearmongering about Black people moving to White suburbs. It is what drives the efforts to suppress voting.

I agree with Rubin that the MAGA views on white supremacy explains why the MAGA idiots are upset about President Biden wanting to nominate an African American female to replace Justice Breyer.

Overwhelming boycotts of Florida's tourist industry. But he may figure that what they gain from becoming a MAGA mecca would more than make up for anything they lose.
