Ronald Leave a comment

The star of the “Wicked” movie series, Ariana Grande, has summarized the damage done by eight months of the Donald Trump Second Presidency.

What she had to say cannot be said much better than she did.

Has life improved because of:

Immigrants violently torn from their families?

Trans individuals being blamed for virtually everything and living in fear?

Free Speech being on the brink of collapse?

Have groceries become cheaper?

Have Health Insurance premiums gone down?

Has Work/Life balance improved?

Has Ability to take a vacation improved?

Is one happier?

Has widespread suffering for others benefited you?

Added to this list of questions she poses, this author and blogger adds:

Are the nation’s civil liberties, economic prowess, international leadership being preserved for future generations?

Is our government leadership in the hands of competent, decent, individuals or is corruption and malfeasance rampant?

Florida Under Authoritarian Oriented Governor Ron DeSantis!

The state of Florida s governed by an authoritarian oriented Governor, Ron DeSantis!

DeSantis is promoting limits on women’s rights to an abortion as Mississippi has done, and which now is a case before the US Supreme Court!

DeSantis is working to limit voting rights, even though there were no issues with voting in the 2020 state elections!

DeSantis is working to limit educators in teaching about the truth of American history, including the realities of racism, slavery, and segregation!

DeSantis is working to prevent any discussion of sexuality, and victimizing children who may have sexual feelings other than being straight, including reporting any such evidence to parents, thereby threatening the emotional, mental, and physical health of adolescents!

DeSantis is working to penalize school boards which want to protect children from COVID 19, by stripping funding from counties that defy him, undermining public education from needed financial support!

DeSantis is working to silence free speech and any criticism, by being arrogant and authoritarian toward any criticism from university scholars and the news media!

DeSantis is trying to interfere with redistricting and reapportionment of the state legislative districts and Congressional districts to undermine minority representation after the Census Bureau count of population!

DeSantis has called for the right of citizens to use deadly force with their automobiles at demonstrations that block traffic, an extension of the state “Stand Your Ground” law, and is against any gun control regulations!

DeSantis is against any support of refugees coming to Florida from foreign nations, seeing any such actions as undermining public order and safety!

DeSantis has worked to undermine any initiative by President Joe Biden, and has been extremely confrontional and arrogant, refusing to cooperate with the federal government on every imaginable issue!

DeSantis has supported Donald Trump in every way imaginable since the January 6, 2021 Insurrection, and clearly sees himself as the inheritor of the Trump tradition!
