Hey CPAC, Florida Sen. Rick Scott here! Look at me: I can be bigoted, too!

...In Florida, the competition for Bigot of the Year is tight — and, as if there weren’t enough candidates in the running with Gov. Ron DeSantis and the GOP members of the Florida Legislature acting to suppress minorities — here comes Sen. Rick Scott, presenting from Washington his own brand of social engineering....

It’s an attention-seeking gimmick, timed to the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Orlando this weekend, but it’s worthy reading because the document is also a stand-in of sorts for what the Republican Party platform is shaping up to look like for the 2022 midterm elections and beyond.

Made in Florida by Floridians and for Florida voters — and being exported to the rest of the nation (Apologies, sane Americans). Brace yourselves, it’s back to the 1950s and the culture of subservient women and dominant males, in-the-closet gays, and Blacks who don’t talk about racism, lest they be accused of being “woke,” and, as DeSantis put it at CPAC, suffering from “woke-ism.”

Scott spells it all out without shame....

“An 11 Point Plan to Rescue America.”

the Presidency. Little did they know that Desantis would emerge so quickly. He would clean their clocks if an election (minus Trump) was held right now, imo. Unfortunately, I also think Teflon Ron is the most dangerous of the bunch.
