      **Defining Characteristics Of Fascism:**

      – (6) Controlled Mass Media – Sometimes the media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common.

      It seems that the Florida Department of Health sent a letter to Mark Higgins, and we don’t get to read it.

      The Republicans in Florida are losing the abortion augment and they know it.

      Republicans, and especially DeSantis, are continuing to resort to intimidation to try and push their message. I eagerly look forward to the day DeSantis is no longer Governor. DeSantis is a vile, despicable person.

      Just a friendly reminder, DeSantis sent his newly minted “election authorities,” to the homes of several of the constituents who signed the petition to get the ballot initiative on the docket for November’s upcoming election.

      > Ron DeSantis’s administration has appeared to threaten a local TV station with legal action for airing an abortion rights campaign ad.

      > It features a woman named Caroline who needed to have an abortion and cancer treatments after a brain tumor diagnosis in 2022.

      > The letter — dated October 3 and sent by the Florida Department of Health to WFLA TV’s vice president Mark Higgins — was shared on social media by journalist Jason Garcia, who accused the administration of “trying to intimidate” the TV station.

      > The department claims the ad is illegal under section 386.01 of Florida law that allows the state to remove any “nuisance” that “threatens or impairs” people’s health.

      > “The advertisement is not only false; it is dangerous,” the letter reads.

      > The Health Department said that if the ad is not removed within 24 hours, the department will initiate legal proceedings to obtain an injunction.

      I think that there are a number of Republicans in power out there who, if given the chance, would follow Putin’s lead and set up a state-run media network(s), while threatening to sue and shut down every “nuisance” that dares to publish a report or run a campaign ad that goes against the grain and/or portrays a demagogue like Desantis accurately.

      What’s particularly frustrating about all of this, is that it’s not unprecedented for one, and also how this is the party that’s constantly whining about being “censored,” and persecuted by their political adversaries.

      The message here is obvious. When Republicans rattle on about *their* rights and freedoms afforded to them by the constitution, what they’re really trying to communicate is that only *they* are entitled to these things.

      The GOP as a whole really needs some lessons in civics…

      Did he threaten to ship them all to concentration camps?

      Fucking nazi asshole.

      The problem with Florida is that there are too many people who think this little nazi shit is a good idea. He is not. I hope Florida and Floridians get everything they deserve for supporting this son of a bitch.

      Desantis looks like he still tries to go to frat parties and I will not be persuaded otherwise until someone can show me proof that he doesn’t.

      Please Florida get rid of this fucking maniac. You hate the libs. We get it. You win. Just stop fucking yourselves over with this asshole just to own us. Again, you win.

    24. craigske on

      They should definitely just let the government sue them to remove the ad. The publicity will be epic

      Such a pathetic, small little man who knows very well he is nothing of value as soon as his white power meal ticket runs out.

      Idiot picked a fight with Disney and still can’t learn to stop sticking his dick in beartraps.

    30. ShowerVagina on

      Someone said DeSantis looks like a meatball and i can’t now unsee it.

    31. ChocoCatastrophe on

      The GOP supreme court must be impeached for dereliction of their duty to protect the constitution. They need to be completely reformed. They have given Desantis the cover to pull this anti-american fascist thuggery.

      What he’s doing is horrible and I hope the initiative passes with a majority that can’t be questioned or contested.

      As an aside, that photo of makes it look like he’s having a real Pepe Silvia moment and I love that for him.

    34. AntoniaFauci on

      Someone wake Merrick Van Winkle so he can charge this slime with election interference and intimidation.

    35. -misanthroptimist on

      Like all current Republicans, DeSantis wants to tel everyone else what to do, say, and think. Republicans are no longer Americans -they are foreign assets of America’s enemies, mainly Russia.

    38. faroukthesailorkkk on

      Isn’t this the same party that doesn’t stop talking about how is free speech being threatened and that they need to protect it? “Accuse others of what you are doing” that seems to be their motto.
