It's great that we've finally reached a point where the news is telling us the things everyone always knew, instead of burying or spinning them. But maybe now they could move on to telling us things before we've all seen it with our own two eyes?

Having a federal judge determine that the #fascist Governor of #Florida is liar in court of law is new development & a pretty big deal.

Everyone keeps saying these developments are a big deal, but all I see are Republicans still in power, still lying to people, still supporting Trump and fascism...

No, this is not a big deal. It will change nothing. This country is literally incapable of defending itself from the inside.

Yeah, it is a big deal because their fascist anti-trans laws are about to be throw off the books in my state.

Just because you don't understand how our legal & political systems function doesn't mean this isn't newsworthy.

You clearly have not been paying attention if you think this kind of minor setback is going to actually stop them. They won't get the same laws back on the books, but if you think they cannot continue to make life miserable in many, many other ways... you haven't been paying attention.

Except that is completely false & DeSantis has gotten nothing but a kick in the ass from Federal courts. He's about to lose a primary in his home state & his political career is dead in 2026.

You can take your defeatist loser mindset elsewhere.

I'm sorry you're too stupid to understand that me saying they are not defeated yet is totally correct.

It is, in fact, NOT defeatest to say there is still fighting to be done, idiot.

The only reason it surfaced this much is because people saw it and pushed back - silence and they would’ve just kept spinning it as a quirky campaign
