After falling short in his presidential campaign, Republican Florida Governor and boy whose dream of being a jockey died at 5’4″ Ron DeSantis continues his culture war agenda on the poor people of Florida, who now must deal with a new law banning anyone 16 and under from social media platforms that just passed the state legislature and is waiting on DeSantis’s desk for his signature.
As the Sarasota Herald-Tribune notes, however: Hours before the bill was delivered to DeSantis’s desk, Ron himself dissed the bill saying the legislation wasn’t “there yet,” meaning that it wasn’t what he wanted to see.
“Parents need to have a role in this,” DeSantis said, ready to let a marauding band of undereducated, conspiracy-minded parents determine laws again, like he did with book banning. “I do think parents are concerned about social media and what goes on there, and I do think they think it’s a problem. But I also think that for people that are in high school, it’s not as simple.”
