More on DeSantis and His Pledge to “Destroy Leftism in This Country”

When my wife read my post from the other day on Ron DeSantis’s pledge to destroy leftism, she commented that the presidential candidate was referring to passing laws that would make certain acts illegal, not to changing human thinking and behavior.

She has a point, but this is still not going to happen, because we live in a representative democracy, where we the people elect our lawmakers.

If hateful morons happen to be a majority in Florida, that’s one thing; they deserve what they get.  But try to pass federal laws that ban abortion, destroy the environment, and teach creationism as science in our schools, see how far you get.

“Leftism” (aka wokeness, kindness, decency) is a set of values shared by the majority of Americans.  The promise to  destroy these ideals carries with it a great level of appeal to mean-spirited idiots, but fortunately, that’s a distinct minority.
