    This clown has been in the news for a lot of stupid shit recently, but this is going too far. What the fucking fuck is happening? This isn’t even funny, it’s like a few steps away from trying bring back human slavery (which I’m sure the supreme court would have no problem with)

    And the sad part is that DeSantis has no chance of getting elected as president. Nobody likes him and his hideous white boots. He’s probably doing stuff like this out of spite/malice.

      Undoubtedly, since slavery is still allowed in the constitution.

      Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

      Emphasis mine.

        And both parties in America’s government have representatives who profit off carceral slavery via holding stock in private prisons. Lost the paperwork that named and shamed them; but I’m pretty sure it was high-profile, water-cooler-and-dining-room-table names on that list.

      Yeah the next logical step for Desatan is getting rid of prisons and opening work camps, with indentured servants.

      If at some point Trump gets charges that keep him from being the GOP headrunner, we’ll likely see Fox news turn to pushing Desantis in the other 49 states. He very quickly could turn into being liked by many Republicans

      Need people from the GOP to start calling him out in hopes we can get people to hate him enough that even if Trump bows out neither are there
