two ways of seeing things

Both parties in America over reach when they gain power. 

Conservatives in Florida and Texas make laws when usually conservatives feel like most situations are carried under the current laws. You don't need to make special laws to protect minorities, they argue, because if you murder someone because they're a minority, it's murder. You don't need a special law to say that's wrong. 

The same would go for trying to ban books, and ban the democrat party or all the grimey stuff they're doing. If you don't like a book, then don't check it out from the library, or indeed if libraries are closed to pinch a penny, don't buy the book. That's capitalism. If you don't like the idea of transgender, then bury your head in the sand and say it's not a thing. If you don't like immigration in your state, just ship the people off to other states, no matter how illegal that is. 

The New Deal created a lot of governmental projects that were successful. The writer of the classic Phantom Tollbooth got a writers grant. The TVA created lots of interesting dams. There were lots of good roads that were born. But there were cases where people resented losing their land to water, or the taxes were annoying to people to support these programs. One reason America is so agile in the marketplace is that they have this strain of anti-taxation and anti-regulation. Sure Ohio ecological disasters happen, and those a bad based on the laws, and they're going to get sued to kingdom come when the lawyers figure out the angle. Trump is being sued. They didn't get OJ Simpson on his murder, but they sued him into justice and he moved to Florida where they can't take your house. His sentence is Florida living. 

DeSantis wanted to mess with Disney, but not actually pay for their stuff, so he put a board of oversight that will be a sinecure for his donors. Leatches, a kind of tax on liberalism. They won't be able to control the offensively woke movies Disney is pumping out, but Disney will have anti-woke annoyances to remind them of those forces out there in the world, closer, meddling. 

The conservatives forget that it was Trump who rolled back the regulations in Ohio that allowed for the ecological disaster. They forget that living free means having a broken energy system in Texas that literally kills people when it fails. Like the deaths they accept fighting gun control, the price of their imagined conservative freedoms is acceptable. It's OK to die from Covid if the freedom to not wear a mask and get vaccinated is at stake. The freedom to pass on Covid to others is the freedom they choose, not the freedom from Covid. Sotomayor had to go remote because she's vulnerable with her diabetes, so that the conservative justices on the court could have the freedom not to wear masks.

The conservatives have a different narrative, a resistant strain to taking responsibility for these deaths. In a more objective world the consequences of these actions is culpable, and it's a death cult. They don't like government saving lives, they feel it clips the wings of the strong through taxation. 

MTG suggested a divorce, or civil war, ununiting America. I would love that, the north would be unapologetically more progressive, and would save so much money not giving money to the poor republican states. Usually in the separation of European states, Czechoslovakia because Czech and Slovakia. They have different cultures, not necessarily politics. It seems more like Packistan and Bangladesh becoming Muslim oasis. Is America really going to divide about politics? 

Desantis is making Hitler like moves in Florida. Perhaps we'll have the united states of Fascist America by force. Trump's ineptitude made his fantasies impotent. Desantis is more deliberate and calculating. This next election is going to be the one to decide America's fate. How Fascist do you want America to be? How democratic do you want America? There are so many conservatives who hate Trump and Desantis, but they equally hate Biden. What does America hate more, an activist government or freedom?

It's hard not to see how the conservative politicians taking money from Russia and China are not bought and sold agents, trying to undermine the open society, by closed authoritarian regimes.
