Aight, whatever then. You're obviously not worth speaking to, but luckily, you'll never be in a position to put your words into action, so I don't need to. I'm gonna carry on with my day.

Marco Rubio got almost 58% of the vote in 2022. DeSantis got over 59%. Moody got over 60%. Patronis 59.5%. Simpson 59%. All statewide races. 59.36% of FL House race votes went to Republicans. 60.07% of FL Senate race votes went to Republicans. Across the board and with remarkable consistency, 60% of your neighbors have voted to gut your education system and teach your kids fantasies. Don't shoot the messenger.

This can be attributed to the fact that Democrats have completely abandoned the idea of campaigning in Florida and the fact that the Florida government is well-known to engage in voter suppression efforts.

Majority. A clear majority. And it's their actions that are fucking over your entire state, not mine.

Nearly half of Floridians don't even vote for various reasons including but not limited to voter suppression, so nah, it's a minority of residents. I'm also highly doubtful that colleges not accepting high school diplomas from an entire state would even be considered legal, so I think I'll be fine.

A large section of Floridians do not vote for Ron Desantis and are subject to things like gerrymandering which prevent their votes from mattering in the first place. Most of the people who do vote for these policies are people who place no value whatsoever on education in the first place. Your policy would end up fucking over an entire state based on the actions of a minority of its residents.

I really enjoy how everyone on this platform circlejerks about helping the poor and then advocates fucking over kids who's parents can't afford to leave Florida

You really need an article about a dead child to remind you that a fast spinning metal propeller can be dangerous?

Often one doesn't think that something is dangerous until it's pointed out to them. Stories are the most effective way to spell shit out to people, it's why we started making them.

Aren't there hundreds of warning signs with information just like that labeled on everything in the U.S.?

Nobody reads those.

Don't you need some license or at least an instruction lesson to opperae a boat?

Whether you need that, and the quality of it, depends on the state, and of course nothing's stopping you from doing it illegally.

Wouldn't an article about boat safety in general be much more helpful than a story about a dead child?

Who the fuck reads articles about boat safety?

Okay, one person on a boat is now more aware of the danger while ten people around the world are one step closer to mental breakdown and depression.

I'd recommend seeking a psychiatrist for that, this did not affect me whatsoever.

Why would you restrict the opportunities of children then? That fucks them over more than the parents, and speaking of which, there are also many non-conservative parents in Florida.

You do realize that there are non-conservative children currently living in Florida?

Can't you think of examples of views that were fringe but became the moral baseline?

Yes, I can, but I can't think of any that were extreme despite being the most widely held views in a given society, because that's an oxymoron. Once something becomes a widely held view it is no longer extreme.

[–] Ghostc1212@sopuli.xyz -1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children)

The former, by definition, because the vast majority of society does the latter. Extremists always try to reframe themselves as the moderate ones and say mainstream society are the extremists instead, so I'm not surprised you're saying this.
