DeSantis says he would eliminate four federal agencies if elected president

Florida's Republican governor said he would seek to abolish the departments of Education, Commerce and Energy, as well as the IRS.

"If Congress will work with me on doing that, we'll be able to reduce the size and scope of government," he added. "If Congress won't go that far, I'm going to use those agencies to push back against woke ideology and against the leftism that we see creeping into all institutions of American life."

  • I mean there is an argument to burning it all down and starting over but this ain't it lmao.

  • Congress would have to grant him Presidential Reorganization Authority to do what he's promising. The last president to be granted that was Reagan.

    DeSantis is a facist fool with the personality of wet paper. He should never hold public office again.

  • Came in to lurk, but it seems that so many subhuman leftists are here from reddit. Like, jesus christ, is there any politics forum were you demons haven't infiltrated and corrupted?

    That said, Desantis is weak and cowardly. I would've voted for him if he had not proven that with those fake AI photos of Trump and Faucci. So, I guess he did me a favor there.

    Lastly, get rid of the IRS. It's not even a real american agency.

    • You should probably just keep lurking.

    • So a right wing echo chamber is what you're looking for. Exploding Heads and Voat have got you covered for your daily feed of blind hatred, vitriol and detachment from reality. Most people do not subscribe to that way of thinking (as it's backwards, reductive and harmful to society) and thus they are "everywhere". Your average online user is not a conservative.

      • Several falsities with this statement here.

        Starting off with the fact that the only blind hatred, vitriol, and detachment from reality that has existed in this country in the last 22 years has been solely and exclusively from the left. What worse is, for quite a while there, the so-called thought leaders of the right did nothing meaningful to stop them; and in fact consorted with leftist terrorists in congress, giving them concessions, and ignoring their duty to uphold the Constitution.

        We of the right are not backwards. We believe in family, faith, hard work, objective truth, honesty, and integrity. We believe that by placing these values first and foremost in our lives, we make our own lives and those of our families better. The left believes in themselves, faithlessness, laziness, "no truth but power", deception, and self image. They, at best, only wish for everyone and everything around them to serve them like kings. They are worthless parasites. At worst, the left actively works to destroy this country. Just look at New York, LA, Chicago, Portland, and San Franscico and see nothing but homelessness, unsolved crime, rampant drug use, and defunded police. They are run by the left and will die off in the next decade the same way that Detroit did.

        Saying something is reductive is meaningless, as that word has become nothing more than a leftist buzzword.

        As for the right being harmful to society; newsflash there is no more society in this country because of the left. Gender has been rendered as meaningless, Religion is being openly criminalized, the Constitution is completely ignored, leftist policy has destroyed what value the dollar had, etc. There is no common united society in the states anymore. No one on the right in a right leaning honestly cares what happens to a leftist anymore. Some foreign country could invade tomorrow, and the right won't lift a finger to help if that invasion happened in New York, Illinois, or California. I know I sure as hell won't care.

        The Real problem is that for 23 years, smart leftists infiltrated news organizations and slow drove people insane with fake stories. I can't explain leftist judges, because no one on the left is smart enough to understand how the law of this country works. The left is sure conniving enough to be politicians though. After all, they never do any work themselves so all they need to do is lie, extort, and blackmail whoever they need to while they just sit around.

        One day soon, this will all change though. The political pendulum is going to swing so hard back to the right that it's going to break the entire cycle. Your average person is seeing the lawlessness and insanity that has completely consumed the left. And they are pissed. The Bud Light effect is proof of that. The left is living on borrowed time, and they know it. That's why they push for censorship. That's why they called everything racist. That why they mob, riot, loot, murder, and intimidate. And I can not wait for the right to completely take over. I only wished it had happened sooner.

        Oh, and thank you for the suggestions. I'll be sure to visit.
