Florida Welcome To The Far Far Right

Consider the Republican candidates for governor and their priorities.
-----
Adam Putnam:  A proud NRA sellout and pledged he would sign a so-called “heartbeat bill, legislation that would make abortion illegal after a doctor can hear a fetus’ heartbeat. WTF! What about the victim of gun violence heartbeat?  
-----
Ron DeSantis: Trump's choice. Rather than campaign in Florida, DeSantis campaigns almost exclusively on Fox News. For weeks, he’s practically had a casting couch on Sean Hannity’s TV and radio shows.
-----
Richard Corcoran: For the last two years he has championed legislation that undercuts traditional public education and helps charter schools that educate only 10 percent of Florida students. Corcoran congratulated himself for the post-Douglas school safety bill that will add no new money for academics and leave school districts short as they comply with new rules on police officers.

And these are people who brand themselves as "patriots" and "keepers of the flame," when the truth is they are a destructive force to our country and to democracy and fit much better in the framework of "traitor" to the ideals and values that we have preached down through the years. We never lived up to those ideals and values, but these people make a mockery of them!
