So now the goalposts are at declaring war on Mexico.
Cool cool.
Its been there awhile with these people....I wish I was kidding but they believe Mexico and other countries that way are so evil this is reasonable. Their stereotypes just seem to get more and more crazy that they believe....
Many conservatives think that Mexico is a problem the same way they think that Native American tribes self governance is a problem. The Mexican history is that of the native Mexicans winning out over the Spanish and forming their country and many conservatives are still pissed about the Alamo because they think we should have kept going south in conquest.
Real patriots want to declare war on Mexico then you're not a real patriot. We need more patriots in this country to make America great again. And we'll make them pay for it! Mark my words Mexico will pay for the wall. Some of them are good people too but they will pay for the wall when we win the war. SAD but TRUE.

DeSantis is a fucking moron.
He's really not, his base is dumb and he plays to them rather effectively but he's not dumb just manipulative and without morality.
I disagree, he’s dumb and horrible with anything that has to do with economics too. Fascism is a terrible system.
I subscribe to the dumb-dumbs can vote for dumb-dumbs theory myself.
I agree that he manipulates his base.
He's a fucking idiot, that's not negotiable. He does too many things that do not serve the manipulation of his base that are too dumb to excuse. The meatball has no brain.
Americans are dumber than I thought.
Our systems are just so unbelievably broken. They gerrymander and destroy other systems to keep themselves in power and its just sick.
We have been far too tolerant of the intolerant for far too long. This is inevitable
They're dumber because lots of them want Trump, but I wouldn't say this makes Americans as a whole dumber because very few of them support DeSantis. He's just throwing random shit out there like this at this point.
Sadly, our woefully inept electoral system lets the few dumb ones speak loudly for the rest of us.
American Republicans*** Don't lump me in with those assholes.
Does anyone know if he's had like.. significant head trauma at any point?
Classic lead poisoning
If not, perhaps it's time to correct that oversight.
The fuck?
Goal post moving for his base. DeSantis “had to” take federal disaster relief money for the damage to his state caused by Hurricane Idiala(?) making him weak in their eyes(or so he believes). So now to appeal to/appease his sycophants he must promise the possibility of pain, poverty and destruction for those less fortunate.
That's... that's just great Ron. Hey, ya figure they might shoot back? With their army and navy that they definitely have? Dumb motherfucker.
There's a greentext going around comparing the Russian invasion of Ukraine to the US invading Mexico and I'm really scared DeSantis is trying to make it come true.
It's funky to imagine that a state that was once seen as "purple", generally, would also elect someone was ragingly insane as DeSandurz.
You can thank gerrymandering and low voter turn out due to gerrymandering for that....
Tbf he's done a lot to disenfranchise those he doesn't agree with or make it harder for them to vote. All bc that side can't believe they're not popular anymore.....
YOoo I guess we're so fucked up that border war and colonialism is back on the table
DeSantis is a tyrant.
This is the guy who was the JAG at Gitmo during the torture debacle, right? Just checking.
He is the antithesis of ethics.
And this should be the only thing anyone needs to dislike him.
But has the US ruled out using missiles on desantis
Seriously though, look at the terror Ukraine has been able to accomplish inside Russia with a hell of a lot less than what Mexico has. You guys want missiles blowing shit up in San Antonio and phoenix?
Why does Florida have missiles?
Outside of any in a military base, he doesn't. It was a question about if he would authorize an aerial attack if he were voted president...
That said... he's an idiot for even thinking that would be a good idea
How do people see shit like this and then think he is a good choice for president???
If he gets elected, Russia is going to have nuclear missles stationed in Florida for use agaisted Cuba.
Let's be honest. He knows he won't use missiles he just knows his base will want him to be ambiguous on it
Remember when the "Up the Ante" was Scott Walker saying he wanted to build a wall on the border with Canada?
Good times.....
I don't like DeSantis either but if you read the article, the question itself was loaded. I mean the headlines are a slippery slope argument
I don’t think the Governor of any state has the legal power to wage war.
