In the United States, we have witnessed the purge of democracy and the rise of either Christian Nationalism or plainly stated American Fascism. Not covertly, not under the cover of darkness, but with this inclination for authoritarian rule, dictatorship, to be honest, the MAGA/Republicans proudly pronounce a war on Democracy.
DeSantis is despicable, dangerous, and dead set on denying personal freedoms to others if he perceives those freedoms as a challenge to his own power and political gains. DeSantis bans books because he has read enough of those banned books himself to understand the real power that knowledge provides. History is full of facts, and DeSantis understands that past realities can correct present and future irregularities. An educated citizen with an understanding of what came before is a dangerous foe for megalomaniacs like DeSantis.
Threats, harassment, denial, government blackmail all of these are screaming notifications of a dictatorship; all of these are screaming warnings that a “strong man” refuses to respect your freedoms. And yet, in the Banana Republic of Florida, right before our very eyes, FASCISM is alive and well!
