Ron DeSanctimonious

I'm sure his name will be in the news plenty over the next year, so we may as well start a thread on the MAGAt Mini-Me, the gravest threat to our esteemed Dear Leader's further political ambitions.

Just today, a federal judge in Florida absolutely blew DeSantis' Anti-WOKE Act to smithereens for flagrantly violating both the First and Fourteenth Amendments. In doing so, the judge made numerous references to Orwell's novel 1984 in his blistering decision.

[I]“t serves to permit ‘discussion’ of the specified concepts, so long as that discussion does not stray from the State’s viewpoint or those viewpoints the State allows,” Walker wrote.

In another footnote, Walker pondered his own comparison of the Florida law to Orwell’s dystopian novel, which envisions a grim surveillance state that values conformity and suppresses opposition.

Per the judge (citations removed):

(T)he State has responded to fears of “woke indoctrination” in university classrooms. But rather than combat “woke” ideas with countervailing views in the “marketplace of ideas,” the State has chosen to eliminate one side of the debate. This only highlights the problem with viewpoint discrimination — in the name of combating “indoctrination” of one perceived orthodoxy, the State allows for “indoctrination” in its preferred orthodoxy.

At 5'9'' thinking the Mini-Me to Dr Evil Trump is a close tag!

I think Ron can afford to wait and see how big a hole The Florida Man can dig for himself first since he already has a full time job.

I like to envision it like RonD as the single guy at a funeral, eyeing the widow (GOP voters) as the deceased (tRump) is being lowered into the ground. He hasn't started stepping on/over other suitors to get to the widow yet.

Let's just keep in mind that DeSantis is a racist conjob who, had he been in office in the Congress, would have voted with Trump 100% of the time.

So I'm applauding the judge.
