Florida has been increasingly red in recent years, and
increasingly radical along with it.
The Republicans have their favorite governor and Rhonda Santis and
they apparently feel so
emboldened that they're pretty much done tolerating the Democratic Party.
And I don't mean that in metaphoric terms,
I mean that they're pushing to Spanish it no more Democratic Party in Florida.
This is wild, this is being pursued by Senator Blaise Ingoglia,
Republican of Spring Hill has this new bill SB 1248.
It doesn't mention the word Democrat or Democratic, but
let's see if we can figure out how it's talking about them.
It's the ultimate cancel act, according to him, it would decertify any political
party that ever included a plank to support slavery in its platform.
Something the Democratic Party did between 1844 and 1864,
which I imagine is a year or two ago.
After this is passed, registered voters of that party would receive notices from
the state that their party had been canceled and
that they're now no party voters for the canceled Democratic Party.
They could reregister as long as the name is substantially different from the name
of any other party previously registered.
So what you should understand is that blazing googly wants you to believe that
this is him being clever or joking around, the issue is that it's not funny.
He clearly supports the fascist destruction of his political opponents and
thinks that this is a clever way to do it.
Just to destroy the Democratic Party outright to make some sort of point about
how democrats are canceling too much.
It's undercut a little bit by the fact that the Republican Party is going around
Florida, trying to find literally every book they can to set fire to.
So that's sort of an issue as well as pushing entire communities into
the shadows.
So if you wanna make a clever point about cancelation,
maybe look in the mirror there in Google.
But anyway, we're gonna have more quotes from MJR,
what do you think about what they're trying to do?
>> Well, that's the thing.
He's gonna be embarrassed when he discovers that as he's pointing out
the Democratic Party in that time frame, had that plank into their party plans or
agenda that included slavery, right?
He's gonna be really upset when he discovers that the current folks in his
party also support those types of things.
In fact, they support the things that came from it.
They still support police with qualified immunity as they beat and
kill people that they think they can beat and kill and have this level of immunity.
And the prison systems and the way that we incarcerate people in our judicial system.
The way it's biased against certain other folks, all born from that evil moment back
in the day, that he's trying to make sure it's decertified from that party.
So it's grown from there, so I would hope in being the principal the republican that
he is that he will continue to be against all the things that came from it.
But first he's gonna have to discover that those things did come from it.
And then we have many systems in our society that are based off of those rules
and those platforms.
From way back in the day,
he's gonna be really upset when he has to discover the people that he's trying to
decertify have grown into the people that he surrounded himself with.
And after he looks in the mirror, he's gonna go, it's me too, he knows this,
his supporters know it.
And it's the same play over and over and over again to act like, you know,
what the party did back in the day, who's supporting it now?
What are your supporters saying about these types of debates and things.
Now when someone says black lives matter or when they say maybe you should stop
murdering black folks indiscriminately and think you can get away with it.
When people say those things and then you, who was against the discrimination and
enslavement of black Americans here, are now saying that this is a problem.
You're gonna have to be consistent because I guess if we flash this out,
we'll see who you really are.
100%, look, if you want to acknowledge that the democrats 160 years ago did this.
I think that's a great point.
We should understand that history.
You don't even have to go back 100 and
60 years to have issues with the racial politics of the Democratic Party.
You don't have to go back a year.
Let's have that conversation.
But if you were aggrieved by the fact that the Democrats were this way 100 and
60 years ago, why doesn't it bother you, that your base is that way now?
right now as JR is pointing out.
And by the way, this isn't like some wild speculation.
You guys can't go a day without minimizing the horrors of slavery.
You get off on trying to say that it really wasn't that bad.
Ask Americans at large what they think about different racial groups?
And you can see that there's plenty of racism to go around certainly.
But clustered amongst Republicans is a horrendous grouping of racial stereotypes
against not only Black Americans, but basically everyone else.
And so all of this is out there blaze, take a look at it.
And by the way, I just want to respond to one of his comments, he says for
years now, leftist activists have been trying to cancel people and
companies for things they've said or done in the past.
First of all, you are so excited about the fact that Rhonda Santis is attacking
Disney for having a same-sex cartoon kiss, so again, glass houses.
Anyway, this includes the removal of statues and memorials and
the renaming of buildings using this standard.
It would be hypocritical not to cancel the Democratic Party itself for
the same thing, but it's not the same thing.
You're talking about something that was 160 years ago,
not a monument right now to that thing, that's the difference.
But anyway, he says that the legislation is a response to
leftist activists calling for the removal of blah blah blah.
Some people wanna have uncomfortable conversations about certain subjects.
Let's have those conversations, but see you're saying that I can't say
the word I wanna say an ESI little way, that's how you're saying.
Let's have it, but you don't actually wanna have it.
We want to have it, that's the whole philosophical underpinning of being woke
is acknowledging these inconvenient truths and
understanding things that aren't necessarily super comfortable to you.
We do actually wanna have that conversation.
You very much don't that's why you guys are going around universities and
schools around the state and literally banning the teaching of these things,
stripping literature out of those libraries.
Don't pretend that you wanna have uncomfortable conversations.
Your entire political ideology is based on not being exposed for
even a microsecond to the most the least inconvenient effects, potentially.
We're ready to acknowledge the historic truth of the Democratic Party and
the Republican Party and America at large.
And we're also willing to do it right now.
Don't pretend that you have even one bit of those philosophical cones.
