This is why you need to campaign for the Democrats as if your life depended on it!!!

I’m so sick and effing tired of GOP rule in FL!!

And now they control the goddamn court!

I’m looking at all the lazy Democrats who didn’t vote for Gillum in 2018! Even with his recent problem he was still the best candidate at that time!

It starts with us, people!! Get your butt to the polls!! We need a legislature that is majority Democratic right effing now so make it happen in 5 months!!!!! Vote!!!!

For all the accolades and credentials on the resumés of newly appointed Florida Supreme Court Justices John Couriel and Renatha Francis, perhaps the most consequential are their ages.

Couriel and Francis are 42 years old.

Gov. Ron DeSantis is turning the state’s high court over to Gen X. His previous appointees were all born in the same era. And in tapping lawyers with the prime of their legal careers ahead of them, DeSantis has all but guaranteed that a generation of legal precedent will be forged by justices put in place by Republicans.

It’s a reality that distresses Democrats and delights Republicans, who nevertheless agree that the reverberations of this younger, more conservative court will be far-reaching. Abortion, redistricting, public education, voting rights — this court, shaped more by DeSantis than any of his predecessors, will likely tackle all of it.

Disclaimer: I am a white American.

White Americans often sit in their living rooms and watch these protests take place in inner cities, downtowns, and other areas of cities that aren’t predominantly upper middle class, wealthy, or white.

Point being, it’s time to really shake white Americans to their core. Take these protests peacefully thru lily white neighborhoods like The Hampton’s, 5th Avenue in Naples, Fl, or other areas where rich whites watch comfortably knowing they’ll go to sleep safely tonight. The police won’t launch tear gas into the neighborhoods of the wealthy.

That is the only way, in my opinion, to get the point across that Black Lives Matter, police brutality must end, and white people cannot indiscriminately kill African Americans.

This isn’t a call for violence. This isn’t to say all white people are racist or all police are bad. It’s a call to wake up to the fact that my white privilege is that I can go for a jog and no one will think I’m committing a crime. It’s my white privilege that if I go to the store, clerks won’t follow me around or think I’m passing a counterfeit bill. To borrow from a meme, even a lot of white people are sick of the racism of other white people!

The whole mask thing is ridiculous. It has descended into a partisan divide. Trump and his supporters honestly believe that masks are a visible symbol of the pandemic promoted by the Left and he doesn’t want people reminded of it. They also see it as a sign of weakness.

We will never convince them otherwise. But I believe that Mayor Garcetti might have a tactic for dealing with the issue. I heard him on tv today proclaiming with authority, “real men wear masks!”.

This is important because Biden will eventually be in public and will be forced to choose to wear one. He should and if I were his handlers I’d have him dressed in work clothes - work coats (not suits), or long sleeves rolled up, etc.

All surrogates need to start saying this over and over...”real men wear masks”. It goes right at what the Trump cult sees as a strength...not wearing one. And the Trump cult doesn’t want to be seen as unmanly!

This entire issue is optics!!!

Snip...

Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti (D) criticized President Trump on Tuesday for not wearing a face mask at several public appearances outside the White House.

During an interview with MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell, the news anchor asked Garcetti about his opinion regarding the president's decision.

"Mayor Garcetti, what should the president do in terms of the way he models behavior for the rest of the country?" Mitchell asked.

"Simply put, I say real men wear face masks," Garcetti responded.
