from Moonbattery:
Unelectable, backward-looking candidates (not opposition to abortion) caused the promised Red Wave to peter out. Republicans barely managed to retake the House, and struggled mightily just to elect a Speaker. But there is hope: Ron DeSantis.
DeSantis squeaked into office in 2018. He governed so well that in 2022, facing a more serious candidate than Andrew Gillum, he won in a landslide. He continues to take the moonbat establishment bull by the horns.

DeSantis wants public Florida universities to disclose all government funds spent toward programs, classes and other initiatives related to diversity, equity, inclusion and the teaching of critical race theory. …
‘We must ensure school systems are responsive to parents and to students, not partisan interest groups, and we must ensure that our institutions of higher learning are focused on academic excellence and the pursuit of truth, not the imposition of trendy ideology,’ he said.
DeSantis also insisted that Florida will remain ‘a great place to raise a family’.
That’s why so many escapees from Democrat-dominated states like New York head for the Sunshine State. As DeSantis puts it,
“States and cities governed by leftist politicians have seen crime skyrocket. They’ve seen their taxpayers abused, they’ve seen medical authoritarianism imposed, and they’ve seen American principles discarded. The woke agenda has caused millions of Americans to leave these jurisdictions for greener pastures.”
Like formerly purple Florida.
“Now, this great exodus of Americans, for those folks, Florida, for so many of them, has served as the promised land. We have embraced freedom. We have maintained law and order. We have protected the rights of parents. We have respected our taxpayers, and we reject woke ideology. We fight the woke in the legislature. We fight the woke in the schools. We fight the woke in the corporations. We will never, ever surrender to the woke mob. Florida is where woke goes to die.”
Echoing Churchill is appropriate. The modern Democratic Party and the radical ideology it seeks to impose represent an existential threat to our way of life.
Like the Allies on D-Day, DeSantis takes the fight to the enemy:
DeSantis has appointed conservative activist Christopher Rufo and five others to the New College of Florida Board of Trustees in his continuing move to eliminate “political ideology” from public higher education.
With the six new members of the school’s Board of Trustees, the DeSantis administration plans to weed out concepts like diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) and critical race theory (CRT).
The highly esteemed countermoonbat Rufo has made a name for himself by exposing the demented excesses of wokeism.
Defending the country’s borders is a federal responsibility. Yet even here, DeSantis leads:
In response to the Biden administration’s alleged inability to manage a record number of migrants attempting to cross the southern border into the U.S. and anticipating a wave of migrant arrivals, DeSantis authorized state agencies to take emergency response measures Jan. 6, according to the order. The governor also authorized the National Guard to deploy “as needed, to deal with this emergency,” given that “the migration of unauthorized aliens to the State of Florida is likely to constitute a major disaster.”
Give DeSantis the authority and he would promptly stop the massive invasion that Democrats hope will transform America into a Third World country more fit for them to rule.
DeSantis even takes on the massive power of woke corporations:
Disney World’s self-governing power in Florida could be replaced with a state-run board under radical plans backed by Governor Ron DeSantis.
The overhaul – part of an ongoing row between Disney and state officials which began over the ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill – would also force the company to pay $700 million dollars in unsecured debt that might otherwise have been paid by taxpayers.
To challenge the Disney dragon in the state it dominates takes true guts.
