Ron DeSantis wants Florida to be a model for GOP rule

With his MAGA allies in the state legislature, DeSantis’ extreme agenda already has the Florida GOP’s rubber stamp   Ron DeSantis is giving state Republicans a blueprint for GOP extremism. Last week, he laid out his right-wing priorities ahead of Florida’s legislative session as state legislators move to enact their extreme agenda including: ✖ Banning abortion at six weeks ✖ Attacking the LGBTQ+ community from criminalizing drag shows to restricting transgender rights ✖ Expanding gun access by scaling back licensing requirements and encouraging school employees to carry guns ✖ Targeting educators and students by slashing curriculum and banning books ...And much more With his MAGA allies in the state legislature, all of these policies and more could come to fruition. But DeSantis won’t stop there – he wants Florida to be a model for Republicans across the country! Republican governors can’t act alone – they rely on support from state legislators to get their agenda off the ground. That’s why it’s critical that we build our Democratic power in statehouses across the country, so we can fight back against extremists and defend our democracy from DeSantis’ brand of dangerous right-wing Republicanism.

He has chosen to lead by pandering to far-right fringe Republican extremists – and with his highly expected 2024 presidential run, he’s setting out to prove himself as the Republican Party’s new face of extremism. He’s dangerous – but he’s not alone. There are hundreds of state Republicans across the country looking to Florida and DeSantis as an example of GOP rule – we need to double down on our efforts to defeat state Republican extremists now to stop their far-right crusade in its tracks. But to give state Democrats the resources they need to defeat Republican extremists nationwide, we need committed grassroots Democrats from your state and across the country to step up and invest in our movement today.
