Okay. You have no answer. You are using 'fascism' as a meaningless buzzword and insult.

Yep. The kind of asshole kids who bullied handicapped people don't go away when they grow up, nor do they ever really outgrow that mindset. It's just that when grown-up society rejects that in a way that the schoolyard didn't, the thugs get better at hiding their vicious natures to fit in. But what Trumpism has done is to create a community out of the sociopaths and the bullies, so that they are again egging each other on like it is the schoolyard all over again. The same way that DeSantis doubtless had nasty little hangers-on laughing along with his cruelty when he was a kid, he now has a virtual army of those shits on social media, and he emboldens them just at they embolden him.
If this cultural fever breaks and we go back to firmly rejecting such fascist behavior, I hope people remember who behaved this way. When similar fevers have broken elsewhere, as in Germany after the Nazi regime fell, a lot of the thugs who empowered the insanity managed to melt back into polite society. We should not let them.
Well said.
DeathSantis showed his true colors a few months ago when giving a speech at a school, he bitched at h.s. kids for wearing masks. No wonder he's so popular among the bully boys and girls of JPP.

Aw, someone wants some attention. Fresh out of psycho backup today, my dear?

I am surprised this is not illegal.
In a society that hadn't gone off the deep end, the Republicans, in particular, would have considered his bullying of those children to be reprehensible. The idea of the government trying to override a family's decision in order to get a kid to expose himself to disease would be anathema to the old "family values" GOP. But, these days, the bullying is the point. They thrill at bullying behavior, even when it flies in the face of all their former supposed principles. Where previously they'd have hated government interfering in private choices like that, or business policies, now, so long at the politician comes across as enough of a dick, they LOVE government interfering in such matters.
Imagine if a Democrat were bullying private enterprise with political reprisals or bullying kids this way... They would freak.
I believe it was absolutely the right thing to do...
