You know damn well not all Floridians voted for this shit. This is the same kind of out-group bullshit red hat shit bags do. You’re just being intentionally divisive.

I'm sorry but here is a prime example of the Republican party doing dishonest election tactics in Florida and the public masses falling for it. If you don't have enough common sense and fall for such tactics, who is to blame then? https://www.tampabay.com/opinion/2020/12/02/the-name-is-the-same-but-theyre-different-florida-candidates-column/

Most people assume politicians don’t lie. I know it’s absurd to think about but even people of middling intelligence still deserve rights.

I thought everyone heard the saying as a child to not trust lawyers, politicians, and weathermen because they all lie.

They do, but how many times do you need to stop someone from touching a hot stove before you let them learn their lesson the hard way?

[–] smokin_shinobi@lemmy.world 9 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

We shouldn’t be willing to let the house burn down to teach someone a lesson.

Nothing can be done for years. Till the next election. We are just a long for the ride able to carry out the first amendment right at the very least.

Majority of voters did, and keep on doing it.

So all Americans deserve the bullshit?

Edit: I knew commenting was going to ruin my morning. You guys act like compassion is part of your moral code but when the “right” people are getting hurt you cheer it. It’s grossly hypocritical. This is people having their rights trampled on and you look down your nose at them telling them they deserve it.

Endlessly being told "you don't understand" by commenters who only use tv-friendly and repeatable povs and barely try to mask their hate towards their fellow citizens gets awful tiring huh? I left R-town to get away from the bloodlust but .world be too damn infested wit reddit 2.0 types fr

Pretty sure if it were up to these people, the law would have never passed. And it would be repealed now.

But it's not. This is what the people of Florida voted for.

[–] smokin_shinobi@lemmy.world 2 points 20 hours ago

I didn’t vote for it, I didn’t want it, and just like the country I’m stuck with it. It’s acceptable to be an American and hate Trump and what he’s doing without being told you deserve it, but it’s not the same thing when it comes to Florida for some reason.

You have my sympathy, but not my compassion.

My compassion ran out when America continued to embrace - even celebrate - right wing rule

Yea that’s fair. We are an embarrassment to the world right now but for us to fix it we need to be working together instead of carving ourselves up into more little tribes.
