35. "This bill is 100 percent supposed to scare you,"
Tue Jun 6, 2023, 11:57 AM
Jun 2023

Idiot Republicans need to ask themselves WHY? Why would they make a bill to, "scare" a group of people? Why would they gamble the viability of their businesses on something so cruel and stupid?

This is the ultimate dilemma of Conservative politics. They are the party of exclusion and subjugation. They NEED a permanent underclass to serve the "betters" but they can't say that out loud or this happens.

They are either ignorant or simply cruel, or both in that they do not understand that people do not just wake up and decide to leave everything they know to come to the United States, just for fun. They come because they see it as their only option to save their own lives or the lives of their families. They count on cheap labor they can exploit, but then turn around and despise the very people that are keeping them rich.

I do not want any harm to befall Floridians who support a better Florida, who are Democrats and did not support DeSantis and the Republicans. I do not want any harm to befall the immigrants either. I do however, want those stupid politicians and the farmers that supported them, to lose their businesses and end up in the soup lines. I want them to suffer the consequences of their stupidity and not recover. I would like them to experience some of the desperation that they exploit in others.
