This is what someone posted elsewhere about DeSantis and I wanted to share with the rest of you in case you had feedback:

What DeSantis' did to Florida



For years, Florida was a fairly evenly divided "lean red" state. This last election, however, DeSantis' Florida flew far right. Ron DeSantis was rewarded for many reasons, but the greatest reasons are twofold: (1) he pushed back against Fauci to keep Florida mostly open throughout Covid [except for a minor closure for a few weeks early on at the behest of then President Trump]; (2) he took on Disney, the largest single private employer in Florida, when they pushed for transgender education for kindergarteners.

Floridians rewarded bravery and did not forget that he not only fought the federal government and arguably the most powerful entertainment company in the world, he also directly fought woke ideology. He banned CRT in schools including terminating teachers who taught CRT curriculum; fired District Attorneys who arrested Christian pastors during Covid; he made it a felony to harm historic monuments; he implemented a Confederate monument protection law; he deployed sheriffs, the FDLE, and the National Guard to immediately crush George Floyd protests in major Florida cities; he is the only governor, to date, to create a statewide Antifa Task Force, to identify, arrest, and prosecute far left extremists. In all, DeSantis literally went to war against the left - but how did he get away with it? Redistricting and disarming.

While kissing "The Wall" in Jerusalem and signing a toothless antisemitism bill, (raised Sedevacantist) DeSantis carefully persuaded Jewish power brokers in Southeastern and Central (Orlando) Florida to cut up their own districts.

The argument that DeSantis laid out was essentially the following: "By bridging your suburban Miami or Orlando districts with rural districts, you may lose some portion of concentrated Jewish influence, but you will gain that influence through Evangelical Christians in red districts who look at Judaism favorably." They agreed and DeSantis further assured them with an antisemitism bill to allay their fears. As soon as they agreed, DeSantis cut up those districts into unfavorable sections. This is why the deep blue power centers in Southeast and Orlando (Disney) Florida flipped red last night. He engineered a quiet coup over their power.



Once that was achieved, DeSantis set about dismantling traditional all-black districts. Florida has one of the smallest black populations in the South (approximately 17%). In the post-Voting Rights Era, Florida was forced to assign districts that were ridiculous. One example was FL-5, which extended from Jacksonville to Tallahassee - nearly 165 miles, on a thin strip at the northernmost point of the state. DeSantis broke those apart and redistricted them into more favorable White rural locations.

When the Jewish powerbrokers of South Florida, led by the ADL, realized what was happening, they led a small revolt in the Legislature. But their influence was already destroyed by DeSantis in 2020, when he used their own greedy desire for more power against them. When they accused DeSantis of being antisemitic for killing Jewish and black districts, he showed rural Florida voters pictures of him kissing the wall and referenced the toothless antisemitism bill: "What are these Jews talking about?

Look at me..." He even used anti-DeSantis rhetoric from Dissident Right circles to embolden Florida legislators to continue the course: "My redistricting of Jewish districts is not antisemitic. Even White nationalists know I am pro-Jewish.

The Jewish powerbrokers AGREED to this redistricting. Keep cutting them up..."

This morning, the full weight of nearly four years of carefully reengineering Florida's political dynamics by DeSantis has done the following: obliterated Jewish influence over state politics, eliminated black Congressional districts and assigned them to loyal rural White constituencies, and worked with anti-Communist Cuban powerbrokers to inherit the power away from their Jewish and black competitors in Southeast Florida. In essence, DeSantis lead a quiet coup in the third largest state in the US and won an election by nearly twenty-points, when only four years ago, he won by half of a percentage point.
