Since the very beginning of being of becoming the Governor of the great state of Florida, Ron DeSantis has become loved by the people who elected him by upholding his oath to protect their rights and freedoms guaranteed in the constitution.
This has become extremely evident since the beginning of Covid when Democrat ran states and cities continuously forced unconstitutional mandates, lockdowns, and restrictions on their residence, while red states such as Florida (under the leadership of Governor DeSantis) were led on the principles of freedom and allowing Floridians to make decisions for themselves about their health.
This is why red states, Florida in particular have seen such high levels of movement from those who fled blue states for the freedoms found in Florida.
That being said, it’s hilarious that Democrats try accusing DeSantis of being a “dictator” and compared to Cuba as he is leading the charge of freedom for his citizens.
According to the Daily Caller, “Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis went off on critics who are calling him a “dictator,” saying they have no idea what they are talking about.”
“I think it’s a slap in the face to everybody in South Florida that has experience with these Marxist dictators in our hemisphere. You have people who were driven out of the island of Cuba, you have people where it was so bad, the oppression there, that they would get on a raft and go 90 miles over shark-infested waters to be able to get to freedom,” DeSantis said.
“You have people whose entire livelihoods were taken from them, their entire liberty were taken away from them and then they’ve come to here in South Florida,” he continued.
“To equate Florida, which is viewed not only in our country, but even around the world, as a beachhead of freedom. To equate that with those regimes just shows you have no idea what you’re talking about, and I think that it really does a disservice to the oppression that so many people in Southern Florida have faced either firsthand or through members of their family, and there’s a reason why people are pouring into the state of Florida. There’s a reason why we’ve led the country in net migration.”
“People, they are fleeing a lot of these bad — and not just fleeing other states, they’re fleeing from Canada, they’re fleeing from other places to be able to come to the state of Florida,” he said. “I realize there may be some people in the state of Florida, not in my party, but some others — politicians, who have a soft spot for dictatorships like in Cuba. They have a soft spot for people like Maduro and Ortega, and I just want people to know that I have contempt for those views because those views do not represent the values of the state of Florida, but particularly the views of the people of South Florida.”
