We must always remember that to Republicans “Small Government” means “a small number of our own people have total authority”.

Armed agents of the state with the power to detain, arrest, and imprison are explicitly excluded from oversight. What could go wrong?

This part really got me:

“You have review boards, that’s fine, but it’s got to be done in ways where you have the Sheriff or Chief of Police appointing people,” the governor said. “It can’t be people that have an agenda.”

The Sheriff and the Chief of Police are the very people who have an agenda. Of course DeSantis knows this. Sane people in Florida need to evacuate as soon as possible.

No! That is exactly the power play. Policies like this are intended to move liberal voters out of swing states. You know, the ones that sway the elections. They want the swing states to be red states.

We can’t have the minor chance that the civilian board might have an agenda vs the people like the sheriff or police that absolutely have an agenda.

It’s honestly rather ironic how they always claim they’re avoiding the exact thing they’re doing.

It really feels like the FL GOP just hang out around the legislature thinking about new ways to fuck with people, just a bunch of bullies looking for targets.
